Global Growth & Income Portfolio overview │ EdgePoint Wealth Management Inc.

Investment approach

The Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income generation by investing primarily in global equity and fixed-income securities. Our team of portfolio managers looks for companies with strong competitive positions, defendable barriers to entry, long-term growth prospects and competent management teams, and acquires ownership stakes in these companies at prices below its assessment of their true value.

On the fixed-income side, we seek securities that provide an attractive return through coupon payments and capital appreciation while focusing on the borrower’s (bond issuer’s) ability to meet its debt obligations, or the payment of periodic coupons and the return of the original principal at maturity.

Sector allocation

Portfolio information

EdgePoint of view

Sector breakdown: Provided only because the industry feels it helps explain portfolio diversification and risk. We believe risk is best managed by diversifying by business idea rather than using traditional sector allocations.

Risk profile: Risk is typically defined as standard deviation or volatility compared to an index. While we follow this methodology due to regulatory requirements and classify the Portfolio risk as moderate, we view real risk as the potential for a permanent loss of capital. By this measure, we believe portfolio risk is further reduced.

Taxes: Outside of the management fee, taxes are the biggest component of the Portfolio’s management expense ratio (MER).

Low-cost operation: With a focused product offering and no expensive marketing campaigns, we’re able to pass on savings to our investors through lower MERs, ultimately resulting in higher investment returns.

Portfolio: We use “portfolio” rather than “fund” because we believe this better represents the diversification our products offer.

Alignment: EdgePoint employees are among our largest investors.

Series	Sales charge option	Fund code	Management fee	MER	TER
XManagement fee: This component of the MER is what you pay us and your financial advisor for investment and financial services.
XMER: A management expense ratio (MER) is what you pay to own a mutual fund. This fee compensates EdgePoint and your financial advisor for a range of services including operational costs and taxes. It's not charged directly to you but deducted from your investment returns. Figures as at December 31, 2018.
XTER: The trading expense ratio (TER) represents the trading expenses incurred by the Portfolio. These expenses aren't included in the MER but they're still costs borne by the investor and reduce returns. The total cost of ownership is the sum of the MER plus the TER. Figures as at December 31, 2018.

EdgePoint SWPs – Money Now, Money Later

As much as investing is about delaying immediate gratification for future gain, a systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) done right can offer investors both. Very simply, a SWP lets you automatically take money out of your investment on a regular basis. If that investment is growing, a SWP provides a disciplined way to meet your income needs while you continue to build wealth. Example: You invested $100,000 on EdgePoint Global Portfolio’s start date and immediately began redeeming $500 per month. Annually, this represented 6% of your original $100,000 investment. Distributions were reinvested. Ten years later, on December 31, 2018, your investment was worth $219,746. Your pre-tax withdrawals over that timeframe amounted to $60,500.

¹ Cumulative return of capital is the difference between the amount withdrawn minus any capital gain/loss from the initial investment to the listed date.
² Cumulative capital gain/loss is the amount withdrawn attributable to the portfolio’s growth from the initial investment to the listed date, gross of taxes.

Whether a SWP make sense for you depends on your personal financial circumstances, your age and risk tolerance. Your financial advisor can help you sort through your options and find the approach that works best for you.
