We work with our clients to provide a comprehensive range of investment strategies and meet a diverse range of needs. Spanning core, core plus, credit, unconstrained, emerging markets, municipals and specialty, our fixed income strategies are managed by our specialist investment managers located around the globe.
Following the aggressive monetary policy tightening of 2022 and 2023, many central banks are beginning to reverse course. While a lower rate environment is generally favourable for some types of fixed income, this is a $200+ trillion* CAD asset class that is increasingly sophisticated and diverse. To navigate the risks and find opportunities in today's fast-paced markets, its crucial to partner with skilled active managers offering proven strategies and deep capabilities.
Find your fit
We've been at the forefront of fixed income investing for more than 50 years and our roster of managers provide highly specialized expertise from Canadian to global and from ultra short duration to high yield. When you review your clients' portfolios and the role fixed income can play in helping them achieve their goals, we encourage you to look at our range of investment strategies and the available resources. We are here to provide the solutions and support you need.
Put Cash to Work
Take advantage of a daily liquid, high quality, low-risk investment offering attractive yields and upside potential.
In today’s markets, cash and GICs offer safety, but that peace of mind may come at a significant opportunity cost. A high-quality portfolio of short duration bonds can provide more upside potential while generating attractive income and a low risk profile. And unlike GICs, a short duration bond fund can provide daily liquidity for clients looking for flexibility.

FLSD
