Gluskin Sheff's fixed income investment strategies aim to provide stable income and capital preservation and to deliver the best possible long-term returns commensurate with the minimization of risk.
GS+A Enhanced Bond Fund (inception: 2008)
The objective of the GS+A Enhanced Bond Fund is to achieve capital appreciation and stable income through a concentrated portfolio of fixed income credit securities which encompasses a broad universe of companies and credit ratings. Investments are made primarily in the debt of companies which trade at prices or credit spreads that we believe do not reflect their positive fundamentals, long-term outlook, or ratings.
GS+A Enhanced Yield Fund (inception: 2010)
The objective of the GS+A Enhanced Yield Fund is to gain economic exposure to a concentrated portfolio of higher yielding fixed income credit encompassing a broad universe of companies and credit ratings. Investments are made primarily in the debt of companies that trade at prices or credit spreads that we believe do not reflect their positive fundamentals, long-term outlook or ratings. Through the use of a forward agreement with a Canadian Schedule I bank, the GS+A Enhanced Yield Fund seeks to generate tax-advantaged returns for our clients.
GS+A Short-Term Bond Portfolio (inception: 2002)
The GS+A Short-Term Bond Portfolio seeks to generate stable income in a manner consistent with the perservation of capital and liquidity by investing primarily in Canadian-dollar money-market instruments, short-term government and corporate debt securities, and other income-producting securities.
The GS+A Short-Term Bond Portfolio is provided to our clients on a no fee basis consistent with our philosophy that a client's fees should be directed to where we can provide the potential for strong absolute returns.
