Overview
What's the strategy?
Diversified Fixed Income Folio (PSG) is a fixed income fund of funds, holding underlying funds that invest Canadian and foreign fixed income.
It is constructed to provide strong income, modest growth opportunity, and very low volatility. The strategy has a consideration to inflation protection, a highly diversified fixed income allocation, including domestic and foreign government and credit bonds.
Why invest in this portfolio strategy?
Ideal for investors seeking a diversified fixed income portfolio.
The strategy provides diversification through exposure to domestic and foreign fixed income markets and multiple active managers.
Investors benefit from tactical asset allocation decisions by the portfolio manager, including changes to the domestic/foreign allocation of the funds. The portfolio manager may make changes to the underlying fund mix in line with current forward-looking views on an ongoing 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 desired asset mix.
