Canadian Balanced Growth

We believe there are ‘pockets of value’ in the fixed income market. Thorough credit and curve analysis enables us to identify and exploit these ‘pockets’ in the pursuit of long-term returns, while minimizing downside risk. Within this conservative framework we apply our creativity to generate innovative investment ideas and develop state of the art portfolio management techniques.

Tactical Balanced

The strategy involves investing in various fixed income and equity asset classes on a tactical basis, over/under-weighting certain asset classes, securities, sectors or industries based on top-down, macro-economic views established by the team. Focusing on high quality, high-yielding equities, the strategy is able to adopt high conviction portfolios, increasing/decreasing its weightings to asset classes based on shorter term outlooks or opportunities. The tactical component of the strategy includes the use of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
