Canadian Tactical Bond

Objectives

  • Provide a reasonable level of income while preserving capital with bonds.
  • Consistently deliver performance over the FTSE Canadian Bond TR Index.
  • Maximize tax efficiency by using very liquid and low fee Canadian listed ETFs.

Suitability

You have a reasonable investment time horizon (over 5 years) and a low to medium risk tolerance. Consider this strategy if you are seeking a bond strategy that is not focused on tracking an index, but is instead focused on generating alpha in any market environment.

Strategy

In seeking to pursue its investment objective, the portfolio is designed to opportunistically provide exposure to Canadian debt instruments throughout the business cycle by investing in ETFs covering the credit and maturity spectrum. This strategy is based on a proprietary multi-factor quantitative model.
