Description

The fund is a fund of funds that targets global real assets by actively allocating in investment funds, pools or ETFs that have significant exposure to infrastructure and real estate industries. The infrastructure pool consists of transportation, energy, water, and communications, whereas the real estate portion includes REITs, as well as firms in commercial and residential real estate industries. The fund may have a neutral position where infrastructure and real estate are equally-weighted, however, allocations may also shift between 25-75% in either industry depending on the fund adviser’s top-down macro analysis and market outlook. In order to maintain its global scope, the fund’s investments to Canadian securities are limited to 30% of the portfolio. In addition, 10% of the fund’s assets may be invested in securities of other funds, including those that are internally managed. The fund may also use derivatives to generate income or hedge exposure.
