Diversified Income (Domestic and Global)

We believe that:

• Investing in a broad range of asset classes, including Canadian and Global fixed-income products, commercial mortgages, high dividend-paying equities, real estate income trusts and preferred shares, can provide a consistent income stream, capital appreciation, and less return volatility.

We build diversified income strategies based on a three-step process:

• Extensive top-down analysis of macroeconomic variables and capital market relative valuations serve to identify general investment themes and changes in market drivers. 
• Capital market assessments based on a 12 to 18-month horizon, reflecting return and risk expectations as well as relative valuations.
• Portfolio construction and monitoring ensures adequate diversification, income generation and growth via high quality companies. Risk is monitored on a daily basis and rebalanced as needed through a disciplined process.
