Kohl’s Corp. (NYSE:KSS) was the largest detractor during the quarter and accounted for the majority of our selection challenges in the consumer discretionary sector. The retailer declined over 19 percent and cost the Fund 42 basis points of performance. Shares traded down sharply in May after they reported weak sales growth which was below expectations although comps were unrealistically high. The company’s ongoing restructuring efforts are beginning to bear fruit but the process is nascent. We remain optimistic of continued improvement.
