Increased Return Potential: Core Plus is an alternative to our Russell Canadian Fixed Income Pool. The strategy provides a wider opportunity set by expanding client investment guidelines to include certain "non-core" fixed income sectors, such as non-Canadian high yield, currency and emerging markets debt securities. Enhanced Diversification: This additional flexibility offers the benefits of added diversification by utilizing sectors with lower correlations to traditional fixed income, as well as the potential for higher levels of excess returns relative to core fixed income. Greater Access to Foreign Markets: The Core Plus approach has been a well-established fixed income strategy in the U.S. over the past 15 years and has more recently gained popularity amongst institutional investors in Canada. Core Plus is an ideal strategy at a time when foreign investing restrictions have been eliminated and there are greater opportunities for excess return in the global fixed income market. Key Benefits   Provides an effective complement to a balanced portfolio, by seeking increased performance of the fixed income segment of the portfolio while not significantly increasing the total risk. Increased diversification, due to a wider opportunity set, lower associated correlations, and less reliance on duration. Fixed income securities of non-Canadian issuers The Pool is Suitable for Investors Who   Have a moderate tolerance for risk and a medium time horizon. Seek a higher level of fixed income return potential, contributing to the fixed income component of a diversified portfolio. Want to receive interest income in their portfolio.
