Major Advantages

• Given the diverse investment strategies it offers, the main attraction of this type of investment lies in the fact that it can produce returns regardless of market behavior.

• The combination of diverse investment strategies, geographic weightings, and asset categories makes this type of investment less volatile.

• In addition, the active management aspect of SIP and IPT makes these products unique on the market (investment portfolio is revised on a monthly basis).

• When held in a registered plan (RRSP, RRIF), multistrategy investments are considered Canadian content and do not affect the foreign content ceiling.

Main Features

• Deposit with a predetermined maturity date and whose capital is guaranteed upon maturity.

• It is quite different from a traditional term deposit. The amounts that are invested, and to which we apply a whole range of investment strategies, are generally divided up between various asset categories (stocks, bonds, money markets, currencies) and geographic locations around the world.

• This type of investment places the emphasis on the manager's talents rather than on underlying market trends. Managers use a variety of strategies to attain a range of risk/return objectives while spreading the risk among these strategies.

• Desjardins Financial Security and its partners offer a number of unique multistrategy investment options. The following products offer greater diversification than any other similar products on the market:

• Selective Advantage Index
