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. It is designed to provide both moderate income and reasonable growth over the long-term, while being sufficiently diversified to mitigate volatility.

Investment Strategy

VPI Canadian Balanced Pool will generally hold a minimum of 50 percent and a maximum of 80 percent of its assets in equities, with the balance held in fixed income assets and cash. The equity portion of the portfolio will include Canadian and foreign equities, preferred shares, income trust units, and index or sector proxies.
