Year-to-date the Portfolio has gained 4.8 per cent compared to the 0.1-per-cent gain of the S&P/TSX Composite. The drop last month was primarily attributable to declines in the Financials and Communication Services groups. Both additions this month realized improved Value and Momentum scores, while the deletions had worsening Predictability ranks”
