The four-step Portfolio Approach

The basis of long-term, successful money management, the Portfolio Approach is predicated around creating a customized investment portfolio that reflects your investment needs throughout the various stages of your life.

There are four steps to the custom Portfolio Approach:

Step 1 : Understanding your needs and goals

Our first and most important job is to listen to you and understand your needs and dreams for the future. We will take the time to understand your specific investment goals, such as saving for retirement or financing a business, and the timeframes available to achieve them. In addition, we will consider your return expectations and tolerance for risk. This “discovery process” doesn't end here—as time passes, and your situation changes, we will work with you to ensure that your investment strategy remains current.

Step 2 : Creating your investment strategy

With an in-depth understanding of your personal situation, we are able to create your investment strategy. This provides the framework for managing your financial assets going forward. It clearly sets out your investment objectives, income needs, timeframes, asset mix guidelines, security selection criteria and review process. Your investment strategy helps keep your investment goals and preferences in clear focus. It also provides a benchmark for measuring the progress you're making towards achieving your goals.

Step 3 : Building your custom-designed portfolio

Once you've approved your investment strategy, we can structure your personal portfolio.

In building a personalized investment portfolio for you, we select from a universe of international investments. This includes:

  • Investments for growth, such as Canadian, U.S. and international stocks
  • Investments for income, including government and corporate bonds
  • Investments for wealth preservation, including guaranteed investments

We also have access to leading-edge investment strategy and research provided by the RBC Investment Strategy Committee, RBC Capital Markets and third-party, independent firms.

You will have a diversified portfolio that conforms to the guidelines and direction you set in advance. This process means you will receive specific, appropriate investment recommendations, and each recommendation will be clear and well thought-out.

Step 4 : Managing your portfolio

The last step in the process is to monitor your progress towards your continued success. We will review your portfolio with you on a regular basis, and recommend appropriate changes to keep you on track. You will also receive detailed account statements, portfolio review statements, transaction updates and tax reports.

Meet the Money Managers: US & Canadian Small Cap Stocks

Sep 20, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time - Sep 20, 2023 08:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Webinar Toronto, Ontario

US Stocks
Meet the Money Managers Webinar for insights into the lens with which Aristotle Capital approaches large cap value investing. Come explore how this manager, Aristotle Capital takes a differentiated approach to managing the firm's flagship strategy, Aristotle US Large Cap Value. This bottom-up, research driven, high conviction, low turnover portfolio is currently one of the highest “Tier 1” rated strategies by RBC Global Manager Research. Aristotle is a majority employee-owned asset manager based in Southern California and backed by an experienced leadership team that has worked together for over twenty-five years. Our long-term philosophy and disciplined investment process focusing on high quality businesses at attractive valuation with compelling catalysts, has resulted in security selection being the main driver of Aristotle’s alpha and downside protection during any market environment. Tune in to learn what else sets Aristotle apart from other large cap managers.

Canadian Stocks
The ‘Small Cap Effect’ or the ability of small cap stocks to outperform large cap stocks over time is well established in global markets and is also reflected in the Canadian marketplace. Active small cap Canadian equities have, in large part, been underrepresented in portfolio asset allocation decisions. Furthermore, a focus on quality and valuation can deliver low volatility profiles, combined with very low correlations to large cap managers, and as a result offer superior diversification when combined with large cap managers.

Barrantagh Investment Management has been successfully managing Canadian Small Cap Equities for over 15 years. This asset class is often characterized as volatile, risky and commodity heavy which is understandable as it relates to the track record of the S&P/TSX Small Cap Index. We will introduce a portfolio approach significantly differentiated from the index which has delivered strong risk-adjusted returns by focusing on high quality dividend-paying small cap companies across the spectrum of industry sectors.

These funds are designed to take a global investment theme, like renewable energy, and invest – at various levels of risk – to earn a financial return for clients, while at the same time being able to measure the CO2 reduction in emissions, or an equivalent number of trees planted for every $1 invested.

Investing within Impact Investments, allows you to invest in companies that are solving the world’s biggest challenges – climate change, resource scarcity, equality, and empowerment. And be rewarded for you investment in two ways: a financial return and a positive impact on the world.
