Update on the Impact of COVID-19

Since the latter part of February 2020, financial markets have experienced significant volatility in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Q1 2020, the progressive shutdown of large global economies resulted in significant broad market selloffs of global equity markets. Equity markets have experienced elevated volatility in the face of rising unemployment and sharply declining economic output. The Public Portfolio has also experienced elevated volatility as equity investors have sought liquidity and safety in the face of uncertainty. As a result of COVID-19, trading volumes in the Public Portfolio have increased as the Investment Manager looks to take advantage of investment opportunities brought about by the elevated level of market volatility.

While the events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in unprecedented market volatility, the Trust is well positioned to navigate through this challenging time. The Private Portfolio has not experienced a significant impact from COVID-19. The Public Portfolio is currently positioned in sectors and geographies believed to be the most resilient during and after the COVID-19 outbreak and to realize significant upside potential upon an economic recovery. The Investment Manager continues to review the Portfolio on a daily basis and remains committed to owning high-quality businesses with long term growth potential.

In response to the global pandemic, governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal stimulus programs designed to stabilize economic conditions. At this time, we have entered Phase 2 of the Covid-19 pandemic, the duration and magnitude of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is impossible to forecast the duration and full scope of the economic impact of COVID-19 and other consequential changes it will have on the Trust’s business, both in the short term and in the long term. The Public Portfolio could experience further equity market declines, which could materially adversely impact the performance of the Trust. While the situation continues to evolve, the Trust is confident the tactical measures implemented to date will allow it to provide long-term value creation to Unitholders.
