Smead Capital Management (Canada) Ltd. is registered as an Investment Fund Manager in Ontario (principal regulator), Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador, and as a Portfolio Manager in Ontario and Alberta. Smead Capital Management (Canada) Ltd. is the investment fund manager and portfolio manager of the Smead Global ex-US Value Fund and the Smead US Value Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Portfolio management services are provided by Smead Capital Management, Inc. (“Smead US”) as sub-advisor. All investment decisions and suitability determinations for underlying clients are the responsibility of registered dealers and their advisors in accordance with Canadian securities laws.
The Funds are Canadian mutual funds and are separate investment products from any U.S. fund managed by Smead US. The Funds follow the same investment philosophy and process used in managing the Smead International Value Fund and the Smead Value Fund, respectively, in the United States; however, each Fund is a distinct investment vehicle and its performance, expenses and holdings may differ from its respective U.S. counterpart. The Funds are reported in Canadian dollars, while their respective U.S. counterparts are reported in U.S. dollars. Generally, neither the Funds nor their U.S. counterparts hedge foreign currency exposure, so currency translation may also cause differences between a Fund and its U.S. counterpart. Performance of any U.S. fund is not indicative of the applicable Fund’s future results.
Quarterly portfolio disclosure for each Fund will be posted within 60 days of each quarter end.
The MSCI World ex USA Net CAD Index is a global equity benchmark that measures the performance of large and mid-cap stocks across 22 of 23 developed markets worldwide, specifically excluding the United States. It is a Net Return index, meaning it includes the reinvestment of dividends net of withholding taxes, with returns calculated and reported in Canadian dollars to reflect the return to a Canadian investor holding the unhedged constituent securities. Fund holdings, sector allocation and asset allocation are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Sector Weightings exclude cash or cash equivalents.
You cannot invest directly in an index, and its performance does not reflect the deduction of fees, expenses, or taxes.
