Tactical Growth Mandate - Weekly Briefing
April 1st marks the end of Q1, but more importantly, April Fools’ Day. We are a family of 3 (plus a dog) but my wife tells me she lives with 2 children. A day devoted to practical jokes is a big deal in this house. Eric struck first this year and served me a huge bowl of strawberry JELL-O for breakfast. Upon quick inspection I noticed both pairs of my prescription glasses deeply settled into the bright pink gel! What can you do but laugh?!
The end of Q1 also means I’ve been shared a newsletter for the last 14 weeks. That’s the best I’ve ever done with any New Year’s resolution and I really enjoy creating these weekly updates (I want to thank my nearly half a dozen readers for their attention). I hope you’re getting a better feel for the active management style, how I think about investing, and how the Tactical Growth Fund differs from traditional funds.
We’ve been able to get off to a roaring start for 2022. If you compare the 3-month return performance of Tactical Growth to any (yes, any!) non-sector mutual fund in Canada, you’ll find we’re outperforming by a big margin. That, I’m pleased to say, is no April Fools prank!
