EdgePoint Global Growth & Income Portfolio

A balanced portfolio concentrated in both quality businesses from around the world with growth potential and investments in fixed-income securities.

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

As at December 31, 2023

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.
