Overview
What's the strategy?
2050 Continuum (PSG) is a target date fund of funds, holding underlying funds that invest in asset classes including Canadian and foreign fixed income, Canadian mortgages, Canadian real estate, and Canadian and foreign equity.
It is constructed to provide significant growth potential with an effective income counterbalance. The strategy has a diversified allocation to equity. It is relatively style neutral and has a preference for large cap stocks, although allocations also include some exposure to smaller cap stocks and income-oriented mandates.
The strategy uses a “to retirement” glide path. Each quarter until the retirement date, the fixed income allocation is increased and the equity allocation is decreased as the portfolio shifts along the glide path.
Why invest in this portfolio strategy?
Ideal for investors seeking a diversified portfolio with a targeted retirement date of 2050.
The strategy provides diversification through exposure to multiple asset classes in domestic and foreign markets and multiple active managers.
Investors benefit from active management by the portfolio manager, including changes to underlying fund weights, the removal of an existing underlying fund, or addition of a new underlying fund. The portfolio manager may make changes to the underlying fund mix in line with current forward-looking views on a quarterly basis. In addition, investors benefit from the active management of the underlying fund managers. Investors further benefit from automatic rebalancing, ensuring the asset mix stays close to the mandated asset mix.
