Strategies
Canadian Equity
We build two independent, focused, style portfolios according to the desired Defence/Offence characteristics, and combine them with equal representation. Our stock selection process uses a systematic, disciplined approach to selecting companies with the most attractive fundamental factors representing each of the styles. Risk management is an integral part of the portfolio management process.
The portfolio is designed to capture the benefits of combining stocks with characteristics such as income, quality and value (Defence-oriented), with stocks that have characteristics such as growth and momentum (Offence-oriented).
TSX TRI + 2.0%
US Passive Ethical Equity
This product is suitable for 100% of a client's US Equity allocation. This product invests solely in US equities and is 100% invested. 18 AM has hired a large, global, passive Investment manager to provide the passive exposure to the S&P TRI. Clients of the 18 AM Passive Ethical Equity Fund also become clients of the passive exposure manager.
The strategy has two primary objectives. One is providing an S&P TRI +/- 0.5% return through a passive investment. Two is eliminating stock exposures prohibited by a client's Statement of Investment Guidelines through the use of shorting.
Balanced Strategy
18 Asset Management’s Balanced Portfolio strategy is to customize a balanced portfolio to a client's IPS criteria. To build custom portfolios we utilize the 18 AM Canadian Equity Fund as the Canadian Equity allocation. For all other asset classes, we use low-cost, low-tracking error ETFs.
Balanced strategy seeks to provide investment returns that meet client’s objectives.
