Investment and Retirement

The world is yours...

Would you like your clients to benefit from the performance of foreign markets while minimizing their portfolio risk? Here are two new foreign funds that will be available on our platform as of January 13, 2014!

 

ASTRA PIMCO GLOBAL BOND

This fund combines two strategies: a global advantage strategy with a diversified income strategy. It draws on the best income ideas of PIMCO, a firm employing over 700 investment analysts and research professionals. The fund is the ideal complement to Canadian bonds as it increases portfolio diversification and can even replace an entire existing bond portfolio thanks to its comprehensive strategy.

ASTRA TD GLOBAL DIVIDEND EQUITY

This TD fund is managed by Epoch Investment Partners, a firm with over $29 billion assets under management and a great deal of expertise handling US and global securities. Investors benefit from Epoch's unique perspective on factors that determine long-term “shareholder yield”, i.e., payment of dividends, share buy-backs and debt reduction. Its unique investment approach focuses on the generation and allocation of free cash flow, which allows the manager to better understand the strength of companies and so generate more stable returns.
