Model Portfolios

Growth Portfolio Overview

As a growth investor, you’re less concerned with security and more concerned with seeing your money grow over the long-term. You’re generally comfortable with more ‘ups and downs’ in the value of your assets if it means the potential for higher returns over time. As such, you’ll typically hold a small proportion of ‘safer’ investments, such as GICs and bonds, and more – and a greater variety of – ‘volatile’ investments, like stocks.

Canada Focus

If you fit the above description of a growth investor, and prefer to have the bulk of your portfolio invested in North America, then the Growth Canada Focus model portfolio could be right for you. The model, which is biased toward Canadian exposure, allocates 80% of the portfolio to a diversified basket of equity securities which is intended to provide long-term capital growth. The portfolio allocates the remaining 20% to fixed income securities which should provide the potential to earn some income and preserve capital.
