Investment Objectives

VPI Canadian Balanced Pool’s objective is to generate long-term growth in value and income by investing in a diversified portfolio of Canadian government and corporate bonds, Canadian and foreign equities, trust and limited partnership units, preferred shares and index or sector proxies, such as index participation units.

The equity portion of the portfolio will include Canadian and foreign equities, preferred shares, income trust units, and index or sector proxies.
