  • Combines financial analysis with integrated in-house Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) analysis

The Fund aims to provide a consistent level of monthly cash flow through investments in fixed income and high yield equity securities of Canadian companies that:

  • Have a record of sustainable practices
  • Are profitable
  • Are socially responsible

Investment Approach

The Portfolio Manager looks for strong businesses with solid growth potential, and a reasonable share price - then examines the company's impact on shareholders, customers, employees and the community.

  • Reducing exposure to non-traditional risks that don't show up on a balance sheet
  • Focusing on leaders in progressive practices
