The manager of our Equity Fund, CGOV, recently published a short piece that addresses a timely topic – inflation. With commodity prices rising across the board, investors may be curious as to how certain companies are affected by this trend.

CGOV references five portfolio holdings to illustrate how some companies will benefit from rising prices while others will feel the pinch.
