U.S. stocks established record highs in mid-December before pulling back slightly at the close of the year. In the portfolio, stock selection in the information technology and health care sectors weighed on relative performance. On the positive side, our underweight positions in the materials and energy sectors boosted relative returns.

We remain overweight to the information technology sector as we continue to find attractive opportunities in companies with innovative business models capable of taking advantage of transformational change. We favour companies with durable business models that address large and growing markets, including Internet search and advertising, electronic payment processing, and social connectivity. We also like companies that will benefit from secular demand for public cloud computing services.

We increased our position in Microsoft as we believe the company's continued evolution to cloud computing remains on track. The company's recent acquisition of LinkedIn should also be additive to Microsoft's core Office franchise. We believe the software giant is also improving its market positioning, execution, long-term prospects, and capital allocation management.
Tech giant Apple is a high-quality and well-managed company with a strong track record of innovation; however, we trimmed our position in the stock given our belief that a decelerating product cycle will eventually weigh on growth, and it is unclear whether the company's new products and services will be enough to sustain above-average profit growth moving forward. Uncertainty surrounding U.S. President-elect Trump's trade policies toward China, where Apple manufactures many of its devices, could also serve as a headwind to the company.
Yum! Brands, the parent company of Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut, spun off its China business during the period. Following the spinoff, we bought shares of the legacy enterprise. We are positive on the company's refranchising initiatives, which we believe can lead to higher margins, a more stable cash flow stream, and more capital being returned to shareholders.
We sold shares of Hanesbrands during the quarter on concerns that the vertically integrated and owned supply chain model is becoming increasingly less efficient with more acquisitions. We also believe the company is exposed to negative tax reform optionality. Thus, we redeployed the proceeds of the sale to fund investments with stronger upside potential.
We bought shares of biotechnology firm Biogen as we believe the company has significant medium- and long-term growth potential in several of its pipeline programs. We expect Spinraza, a recently approved treatment for all types of spinal muscular atrophy, to be accretive to earnings starting in 2017. The firm also has a steady base business of multiple sclerosis treatments, including Tecfidera, which should be a reliable revenue generator for the next several years.

We trimmed our position in Allergan during the period; however, we still maintain a constructive view of the company as we believe it is well positioned to deliver organic growth from several of its business segments. More streamlined operations following the sale of its generic drug business in the third quarter of 2016, along with a number of upcoming product launches, could also bode well for the firm's long-term earnings growth.

Facebook reported another strong quarter, with results ahead of consensus expectations across all financial metrics. However, the stock traded lower on comments from management that 2017 would be a year of aggressive investment for the company. Management's lack of clarity as to the magnitude of its planned investments was not well received by the market. Also, similar to its peers, the stock lagged due to the U.S. presidential election as investors rotated into other segments of the market deemed to benefit from Trump's policy proposals.
Workday is a durable software company that is in the early stages of penetrating its addressable market. The company saw its shares struggle following the release of its third-quarter earnings report, which featured disappointing guidance. Though it faces competitive pressures, Workday's platform is highly unique, and we believe its positioning will improve and ultimately surmount what we consider temporary headwinds.
Shares of American Airlines extended their rally into the fourth quarter on expectations that more disciplined capacity growth across the industry should drive improved results going forward. The stock also got a boost mid-quarter on news that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway had accumulated shares of the company. Better-than-expected traffic numbers propelled the stock higher, and management followed with better-than-expected fiscal guidance.
Restrained capacity growth and improved traffic also benefited shares of Alaska Air Group. We continue to believe that Alaska Air Group is a high-quality company that will be able to produce consistent earnings growth.
