Key Fund Facts¹ 

Ordinary Share and NAV Performance² 

Commentary³ 

Uranium continued to benefit from growing energy security concerns and reshoring initiatives, while also serving as a key enabler of green energy and rising electricity demand. Industry forecasts suggest the global uranium market will move from relatively balanced to large deficits by the middle of the next decade, with these deficits continuing to grow significantly beyond that, highlighting the need for significant new development.

The Athabasca Basin is expected to remain a critical source of future supply growth, given its world-class high-grade deposits and attractive project economics. The Company is well-positioned through exposure to several companies operating in the basin, as well as exposure across the broader uranium value chain.

The Company's undiluted NAV decreased by 17.35% in May, due to dilution from the issuance of Subscription Rights shares at 37.20p per share in May 2026. Adjusting for the dilution, the NAV would have fallen by 7.99%. The weekly spot uranium price was flat, down only 35 cents to $86.10/lb as of the end of the month. The Sprott Physical Uranium Trust slowed its uranium purchases considerably after a more active start to the year. The uranium-related ETFs, such as the Global X Uranium ETF and the Sprott Uranium Miners, fell by around 8%.

Nuclear power provides stable, carbon-free baseload generation, well-suited to data centres, with the primary constraint being the development timelines for new reactors. The Company remains weighted toward developers with uncontracted volumes that are best placed to benefit from a rising long-term uranium price. First production from key portfolio holdings such as Denison and NexGen is expected to be as early as 2028 and 2030, respectively.

During the month, energy and power-related companies were subject to elevated volatility with the longer-term narrative on the need for more power, whipsawed by headlines of pending peace in the Middle East on a weekly basis. There have also been questions about the ability of the hyperscalers to fund all their capex, which has created some modest headwinds for the near-term narrative on power. However, as AI spending continues, so will the long-term need for nuclear power and uranium. Notably, Duke Energy's CEO recently commented that they forecast close to 5% electricity demand growth from electrification and AI alone.

Enrichment (SWU) and conversion prices remain elevated at $200 and $64/lb, respectively, amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

Effective from May 18, 2026, two senior Manulife Investment Management Group portfolio managers, Diana Racanelli and Craig Bethune, will assume responsibility for the management of the portfolio.
