      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Mid-Summer Update from JCIC - “It was the very last hike I did in the Dolomites. It was an intense climb: essentially just straight uphill for about two hours. That was one of the best hikes I did on the whole trip because you're working so hard and you get rewarded with such a beautiful view. Then you take a different route down the backside for a whole different experience.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Benefits of International Equity Investing - Over different time periods, each market has shown varying performance. From 2014 to 2024, the S&amp;P 500 was the most lucrative option. Between 1997 and 2007, the Canadian TSX led in returns. In contrast, from 1984 to 1994, international markets demonstrated the highest returns. By holding a diversified global portfolio, investors can capture higher potential returns in other markets and reduce overall volatility in the long run.</image:title>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Time in the Market vs Timing the Market - Timing the Market</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just for clarity, “timing the market” refers to an investment approach where you put money into a stock right as it is about to go up in value and then sell when you believe it will start to drop. It is a very active process and to be honest, unless your crystal ball is calibrated to give you precise dates, it usually doesn’t work very well. This approach is particularly popular with investment advisors who take a percentage off every transaction. More transactions means more commissions so they are incentivized to move your money around. But that is for their benefit, not yours. If you want to learn more about JCIC’s approach to investing, you can read about our portfolios here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - 2024 Performance Report - Broad Economic Trends</image:title>
      <image:caption>The combination of improving economic growth, lower inflation, and interest rate cuts contributed to strong performance in the equity markets in 2024.  In the first half of the year, fixed-income investments struggled but achieved positive returns. Canadian fixed-income performed better, benefiting from more significant rate cuts and weaker economic conditions compared to the US. In contrast, US fixed-income returns were more subdued, as rates decreased slower due to stronger economic growth, a tighter labour market, and persistent inflation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - 2024 Performance Report - Despite the potential for various challenges, we maintain a positive outlook for 2025. We anticipate that growth will improve compared to 2024, largely due to the effects of lower interest rates. Earnings growth will play a more significant role in driving market performance than valuation expansion.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The beginning of Trump's presidency may introduce uncertainty regarding government policies, tariffs, and the international political landscape. We will closely monitor the implementation of his policies. Our core investment strategy remains the same; however, we will adjust it to navigate the evolving market environment and seize emerging opportunities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Third Quarter Performance Report - We expect multiple interest rate cuts this year and next, with inflation descending to the 2% target. Figure 2 shows inflation in different regions, represented by the Consumer Price Index. Inflation has come down significantly, with some regions already reaching 2%, giving flexibility to cut rates further.</image:title>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Third Quarter Performance Report - In addition to lower inflation, rate cuts are also supported by slowing services and manufacturing PMI (purchasing managers index), showing weakening momentum (Figure 3) and rising unemployment (Figure 4) in multiple markets.</image:title>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Third Quarter Performance Report - Chinese growth has been decelerating for some time with a weak real estate market and a very downbeat consumer unwilling to spend. Until recently, the Chinese government has not taken aggressive measures to support economic growth. However, the China Politburo meeting delivered more aggressive growth measures than we have seen for a long time. This included interest rate cuts, lowering the bank RRR (reserve requirement ratio), lowering down payments required for second homes, providing a mechanism for asset managers and insurance companies to get liquidity to support the equity market and providing access to low-interest loans for public companies to buy back shares.</image:title>

      <image:caption>We can also see leadership changing. In Figures 7 and 8, we can observe that over the last few months, top sectors include utilities, real estate, and financials, which are all interest rate-sensitive and dividend stocks. This has happened at the same time as bond yields have declined. Figure 9 shows the dramatic decline in bond yields as growth concerns surfaced and inflation rates have declined.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Third Quarter Performance Report - Forward Focused Strategy</image:title>
      <image:caption>We will continue to be tactical within our fixed income exposure as the market has continually been shifting back and forth between many rate cuts and modest rate cuts. We favour shorter-duration bonds that can still see lower yields as rate cuts come through and offer attractive current yields. However, we see less upside on longer duration bonds which have already factored in significant future rate cuts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Quarterly Performance Report (Q2 of 2024) - During the quarter, we finally started to see rate cuts. Canada was first out of the gate, with a 25 basis point cut. This was followed by the European Central Bank, which also cut 25 basis points. We can see this in Figure 1. However, central banks have set a cautious tone on any aggressive rate cuts going forward.  In addition, the US Federal Reserve indicated that they only expect one rate cut this year.</image:title>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Quarterly Performance Report (Q2 of 2024) - We expect further cuts this year and next year, but rate cuts continue to be "data dependent" as inflation has remained sticky above the 2% target. Figure 2 shows inflation in different regions, represented by the Consumer Price Index. Inflation has come a long way down but has been stabilizing above 2% in most markets. To see a significant reduction in inflation, the economy has to be slower.</image:title>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Quarterly Performance Report (Q2 of 2024) - In Figure 3, you can see that the unemployment rate in this cycle has only increased modestly (on the right side of the chart), thanks to tight labour markets that have persisted since COVID-19. As long as people are employed, they continue to spend money and support the economy. In addition, the labour participation rate (Figure 4) has declined, further contributing to the tightness of the labour market.</image:title>

      <image:title>Connecting to the Real World - Quarterly Performance Report (Q2 of 2024) - Factoring in strong equity market performance, higher for longer rates with relatively modest rate cuts expected this year, a resilient economy, and sticky inflation above the central bank's target of 2%, we still have some appealing options. On the fixed income side, we have been happy to collect high yields on shorter-term bonds and have taken a tactical approach to long-term bonds, as bond yields have remained in a relatively volatile range for the past two years.</image:title>
