In today’s low interest rate environment, traditional sources of income typically don’t meet the income needs of Canadians. That’s why our portfolios are expertly crafted to generate yield from a broader spectrum of fixed income securities, and capitalize on higher yielding government and corporate bonds and other income-generating securities around the world. Trend-following strategies are included to reduce exposure to potentially riskier elements in the portfolios during times of market stress. This approach allows us to improve the income and yield characteristics of our portfolios without adding any undue risk.
