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 March 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 March 31, 2018.
