Carpe Diem

Portfolio Manager Commentary as of December 31, 2023

The Carpe Diem basket performed well in 2023, up 18.82%. The basket also continues to deliver strong long term upside performance of 10.89% since inception (Aug. 1 2018).

The Carpe Diem outperformance was largely due to saige sector weightings and stock selection. Investors should note the year end Santa Claus rally was largely dependent upon the US technology sector and expectation of 2024 interest rate cuts.

Looking ahead, investors should be patient and not chase the market. I recommend investors temper their future earnings expectations, as the year-end rally was predominantly on the back of higher price to earnings (PE) multiples, not higher corporate profits.

The Carpe Diem basket offers investors a compelling, diversified, North American equity portfolio. With a focus on blue-chip, dividend and growth focused companies, long-term investors will be rewarded with dividend income and future capital gains potential. In this investment climate, investors should take advantage of market volatility by dollar cost averaging in.
