Flexible fixed income for modern markets


In today’s evolving markets, we believe the approach to fixed income investing shouldn’t be fixed - flexibility can offer advantages over traditional fixed income investing. 

Flexible mindsets

We think outside of the box to source fixed income investments and create strategies that provide value over and above yield. Our flexible approach allows us to steer portfolios into more attractive yields and returns, and to reposition away from potential risks.

Leading edge perspectives

With decades of proven expertise, our Team analyzes global fixed income securities, rates, currencies and credit quality. A collaborative approach, sharing and debating ideas, allows us to capitalize on our best ideas and apply them across all strategies.

Reinventing fixed income

With our comprehensive range of funds, we continue to bring innovative ideas and forward-thinking solutions to address the needs of fixed income investors. Our credit analysis includes proprietary ESG evaluation to ensure securities meet our quality standards.

FundGrade A+® is used with permission from Fundata Canada Inc., all rights reserved. The annual FundGrade A+® Awards are presented by Fundata Canada Inc. to recognize the “best of the best” among Canadian investment funds. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year. The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering all time periods from 2 to 10 years. The scores are then weighted equally in calculating a monthly FundGrade. The top 10% of funds earn an A Grade; the next 20% of funds earn a B Grade; the next 40% of funds earn a C Grade; the next 20% of funds receive a D Grade; and the lowest 10% of funds receive an E Grade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+® uses a GPA-style calculation, where each monthly FundGrade from “A” to “E” receives a score from 4 to 0, respectively. A fund’s average score for the year determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is awarded a FundGrade A+® Award. For more information, see www.FundGradeAwards.com.
