Overview

What Does the Pool Invest In?

  • Equity securities with sustainably profitable businesses that have the financial capacity to succeed and pay their owners a growing dividend stream
  • Canadian and foreign equity securities with the ability to invest wherever we find the best opportunities
  • Cash holdings and fixed-income securities to minimize risks and to take advantage of investment opportunities

How Do We Invest

  • We believe the best businesses, acquired at prices that are reasonable in relation to what we expect to receive in return, make the best investments
  • We believe the best investments are companies with durable businesses that are difficult to live without, difficult to replicate, and difficult to compete with.
  • We focus on growth through business ownership where a business can grow earnings dividends
  • We purchase fixed-income securities that provide attractive returns through capital appreciation and interest payments.

What makes this pool unique?

We do bonds in this pool differently than others.

The bond portion of the VPI Income Pool uses the same strategy as the VPI Corporate Bond Pool. 

 

 

Ability to shift between bond and equity weightings.

At all times, the pool requires an asset allocation with a minimum of 25% fixed income and a minimum of 25% equities.

25% Bonds / Cash
Flexible Based on Quality of Opportunities
25% Businesses

If the portfolio manager identifies high quality businesses at attractive prices, the asset weighting of the pool will shift towards the ownership of more equities, to a maximum of 75%.

25% Bonds / Cash
75% Businesses

On the other hand, if the portfolio manager cannot identify investments that meet rigorous standards for value and quality, the asset weighting of the pool shifts towards more fixed income, to a maximum of 75%.

75% Bonds / Cash
