Conservative Balanced Portfolio   [ PDF Version | Compass Reports ]

Portfolio Manager:

ATB Investment Management Inc.

My Objectives:

“I want my investment to be safe while having the opportunity for steady growth.”

The Conservative Balanced Portfolio will accomplish my objectives by:

Allocating my investment across a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities, global equity securities, money market instruments, and income trusts to provide long-term capital appreciation and some income while reducing short-term volatility.

The Compass Conservative Balanced Portfolio suits me because:

  • I am seeking to maximize my return potential for the level
    of risk that I am willing to take.

  • I plan to stay invested for a maximum four years.

  • I want professional portfolio managers to evaluate and
    adjust my investment portfolio to maintain my objectives.


The Compass Conservative Balanced Portfolio diversifies my investment by:

  • Asset Class– An optimum mix of government, corporate, and high yield bonds, company shares, money market instruments, and income trusts.

  • Geographic Region – Primarily Canadian with some U.S. and International securities for added diversification.

  • Market Capitalization – Blend of “large-cap” and “small-cap” company shares.

  • Investment Style - Complementary blends of active and passive investment management styles.

  • Manager – Multiple best-in-class investment managers to add expertise and reduce risk.


Underlying Investments:

Underlying investments are objectively selected from leading investment managers, based upon:

  1. Proven track records of value-added performance;
  2. Solid management processes;
  3. High potential to repeat performance while containing risk; and
  4. Obtained at a significant cost advantage.

Your portfolio is regularly monitored and re-balanced to target weightings to stay focused on your objectives.

Performance Projection:

Variability of return decreases as your investment holding period increases.

  • Potential performance range over 1-year periods as high as 20% to as low as -7%.

  • Potential performance range over 20-year periods as high as 9% to as low as 3%.

  • Long-term target performance is 5.8%.


The potential return range and long-term target performance illustrate the effect of holding a diversified investment portfolio mixing various asset classes and are not specific estimates or a guarantee of performance. They are based on historical performance of market indices for each asset class and forward projections of economic trends using a 95% probability factor.
