Overview

The Fund was established to provide individual investors access to an investment management approach that since 1982 had only been accessible to large corporate portfolios, including pension plans and insurance companies. The same investment management team that has responsibility for the corporate portfolios also assumes responsibility for the management of the Lincluden Balanced Fund.

The investment objective of the Fund is to generate both capital appreciation (growth) and income, while maintaining a relatively low level of risk. To achieve its objectives, the Fund invests in a diverse portfolio of stocks, government and corporate bonds, and short-term instruments such as Government of Canada treasury bills.

Series A units were established in July 2007 (returns presented since July 31, 2007).

The investment objectives of the Lincluden Balanced Fund are consistent with the objectives of long term oriented pension plans: to earn a rate of return that handsomely exceeds the inflation rate, while at the same time limiting the downside risk in declining market environments.

Investment Process

The portfolio construction process for balanced portfolios incorporates the development of a tactical asset allocation policy by the investment team that reflects the relative valuation of the component asset classes.

Our asset class valuation methodology factors in the long-term earnings power of corporations and the level of long-term interest rates. This top-down determination may be adjusted to reflect the input of the asset class specialists with respect to their analyses of values from a bottom-up perspective. The process is not designed to generate frequent changes in asset mix policy but rather to indicate when asset classes are significantly mispriced.

The structuring of the equity component of the Fund is the responsibility of a team of portfolio managers, each of whom has assigned global sector responsibilities. Their focus is on identifying mispriced securities through independent fundamental research supported by proprietary valuation models.

The fixed income team collaborates on the development of duration and sector allocation policy. Each team member is accountable for specific value-added strategies which combined support those primary policies.

Frequently Asked Questions:

This section is a quick reference to some of the most common questions from Lincluden Balanced Fund investors. More complete Lincluden Balanced Fund information, including fund management fees and expenses, is available in our Fund Facts.

Balanced strategies are designed for long-term investors who are seeking higher long-term returns than income funds are generally expected to produce. Many investors find them attractive because decisions concerning the ratio of equities to fixed income securities held in balanced fund portfolios (i.e. asset mix), are made by professional portfolio managers.

Fund units are offered on a continuous basis under the Funds Simplified Prospectus in all provinces and territories of Canada. Ask your investment advisor about buying units of the Lincluden Balanced Fund.
