Compass Balanced Portfolio   [ PDF Version | Compass Reports ]

Portfolio Manager:

ATB Investment Management Inc.

My Objectives:

“I want my investment to grow steadily while defending against large fluctuations in value.”

The Compass Balanced Portfolio will accomplish my objectives by:

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

The Compass 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 at least five years. I want professional portfolio managers to evaluate and adjust my investment portfolio to maintain my objectives.

The Compass Balanced Portfolio diversifies my investment by:

• Asset Class – An optimum mix of government, corporate and high yield bonds, company shares, and income trusts.
  
  
• Geographic Region - A balanced mix of Canadian, U.S., and International securities.
  
  
• 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.
