Value is emerging in a broadening market. In our previous quarterly commentary, we stated that the ingredients were largely in place for the market to continue broadening beyond the mega-caps that dominated equity markets in 2023 and early this year. Cooling inflation and now interest rate cuts should help support that shift. It is happening. In our Q3 commentary for the Maxam Diversified Strategies Fund we share our current views, discuss recent successes and value disconnects - plus comments on a couple of core holdings getting acquired in an active M&A environment. Read our Q3 Maxam Diversified Strategies Fund commentary here: https://lnkd.in/gXnkNixk It's a fertile investment environment - especially beneath the surface of the mega caps. The Maxam Diversified Strategies Fund invests in equity opportunities and special situations across the market cap spectrum with a value-oriented and fundamental approach. We’ve been doing it for more than 15 years. #takeadvantage #stayfrosty #value #alternatives #investments Disclaimers at www.maxamcm.com

There's a 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒇𝒕 happening in the markets. Inflation is cooling, the Bank of Canada has already cut interest rates, and the U.S. Federal Reserve is signaling that they too will begin to normalize monetary policy. The previous headwinds of surging inflation and rising interest rates, which led to a very narrow and bifurcated market environment, have now shifted to tailwinds that support the resurgence of many overlooked companies beneath the surface of the mega caps. In our most recent equity fund commentary we discuss how we’ve been taking advantage of value disconnects, the recent uptick in M&A activity, and the fertile investment environment for our approach.

M&A activity is heating up in Canada! Just today we saw Hamilton Thorne and Sleep Country announce they have agreed to be acquired at material premiums to their recent share prices. We think there is more to come... We've been writing about the coming "𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵" for a while now. And you're seeing it mentioned more and more in the financial media of late - being referred to as the '𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯' from large caps to small caps. Here's an excerpt from our Q1 commentary a few months ago: As investors search for value and opportunity beyond the Magnificent Seven, small and mid-capitalization companies have begun to show some life. Recall that while almost everything lagged the mega cap growth theme, the share prices of smaller companies suffered disproportionately from investor disinterest and capital outflows because, as a group, they are perceived to be more sensitive to the economy, inflation, and interest rates. This dynamic, as we have covered in previous commentaries, has resulted in many quality companies trading at attractive absolute and relative valuations. We are not alone in seeing value in smaller companies and non-household names – 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐝-𝐜𝐚𝐩 𝐌&𝐀 𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞. We expect this activity will continue. We'll have more to say on this topic in our Q2 commentary. Stay tuned! #takeadvantage #stayfrosty

The Maxam Arbitrage Fund has demonstrated its unique value over the last few years – during equity market volatility and the rapid rise in interest rates – providing investors with an alternative to diversify and enhance their portfolios. 𝐐4 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: • Capping off a solid year of steady returns • Healthy deal flow continues despite economic uncertainty. • Arbitrage spreads are attractive. • Expecting an uptick in M&A activity → especially in small/mid caps. • SPAC arbitrage → still lots to do! Read more in our Q4 commentary: https://lnkd.in/gFWkHBs4 A unique aspect of arbitrage is that returns are generated from specific and definitive corporate events. The arbitrageur expects to profit regardless of the behavior of the stock or bond market - the return is earned when the definitive merger or other corporate event 'closes' as announced. Because of these differentiated characteristics, arbitrage can offer consistent returns with low correlation to both traditional equity and bond strategies. The Maxam Arbitrage Fund is a low risk, liquid strategy that can help grow, diversify and protect your portfolio through various market environments. We’ve been managing arbitrage strategies for over a dozen years. Ask your advisor if you should consider arbitrage, or contact us. #bondsarenotenough #thenew40 #gotarb ? #stayfrosty #alternatives #investments #fixedincome #bonds Disclaimers at www.maxamcm.com
