 Conservative Portfolio

 
"Protection of my investments is my first priority. I am willing to accept modest fluctuations in the value of my investments, but I want low investment risk."

This fund invests in a portfolio primarily made up of fixed income securities in order to provide investors income with some capital appreciation while reducing volatility.

The Compass Conservative Portfolio suits me because:

  • I want to maximize my return potential for the level of investment risk that I am willing to take.
  • I have a short-term investment horizon.
  • I want professional portfolio managers to evaluate and adjust my investment portfolio to maintain my objectives.

The Compass Conservative Portfolio diversifies my investment by:

  • Asset Class
    An optimal mix of government, corporate, and high yield bonds, money market instruments and real estate investment trusts with minimal equity exposure
  • Investment Style
    Using a complementary blend of active and passive investment management styles
  • Manager
    With multiple best-in-class investment managers to contribute expertise and reduce risk
