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

Reverse inquiry.

The portfolio manager creates investment opportunities. They talk to issuers to see if a deal makes sense. For example, Canso initiated a deal with Air Canada at the beginning of the pandemic when travel essentially shut down. This story tells a lot about what you need to know about Canso.

 

A proprietary bond rating system.

The portfolio manager, Canso, has a large team of credit professionals who focus on internal credit research. Canso does not rely on external research or credit rating agencies. Extensive research is conducted on issuers before making an investment and research is continually updated on an ongoing basis for each issue in the portfolio. The portfolio manager keeps extensive files on all issues, whether they participate in them or not. As new information becomes available it allows the portfolio manager to move quickly if an opportunity presents itself.
