EdgePoint Global Portfolio

Investment approach

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

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 June 30, 2021.
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 June 30, 2021.

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. SWPs can offer investors the chance to automatically withdraw a set amount of money on a regular basis while giving the rest the opportunity to grow. They can provide a disciplined way to meet your income needs while you continue to build wealth.

While a SWP offers the flexibility to set your own withdrawal amount, EdgePoint now offers a T-Series that provides a fixed monthly distribution of 6%.

The applicable T-series codes for this Fund are:

* AT6
* A(N)T6
* FT6
* F(N)T6

For Fund codes, please see Fees & codes.

The SWP calculator

To see how, try our SWP calculator. Choose an EdgePoint Portfolio series below and enter your investment amount, withdrawal rate and the time period to find out what your SWP might have looked like with taxes factored in.

We believe in taking a long-term view when investing and encourage you to do the same, so please select a time period longer than 3 years!

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 makes 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.
