Overview

What Does the Pool Invest In? 

  • Fixed-income securities with no restrictions on credit quality, duration, or geography 
  • Cash holdings to protect investor capital and to take advantage of investment opportunities 

How Do We Invest? 

  • We purchase fixed-income securities that provide attractive returns through capital appreciation and interest payments 
  • We focus on security selection and accept risks when we are appropriately compensated 
  • We are opportunistic in our process, moving between bonds as their valuations change, buying unpopular bonds cheaply and selling overvalued, highly sought-after bonds into strength

*The FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index (“the Benchmark”) is the headline index for the Canadian bond market.  This index is provided for information only and comparisons to the index has limitations.  The Benchmark is an appropriate standard against which the performance of the VPI Corporate Bond Pool (“the Pool”) can be measured over longer time periods as it represents the primary investment environment from which the Portfolio Manager selects securities based on the preservation of capital and long-term growth. The Portfolio Manager attempts to achieve this by purchasing fixed securities of high-quality and value.  Although there are similarities, the Benchmark is a broad market index.  Therefore, performance deviations relative to the Benchmark may be significant.  The Pool also has concentrated investments in a limited number of companies compared to the Benchmark.  As a result, a change in one security’s value may have more effect on the Pool’s value as compared to the Benchmark.
