Transition from saving to taking an incomeUsing income distribution series with corporate class funds combines the tax-deferral benefits of income distribution series with the tax-deferral benefits of corporate class funds to provide an even greater opportunity for tax-efficiency when taking an income.

You can grow your assets by investing in corporate class funds now, then, when you are ready to take an income, you can switch into distribution income series corporate class without triggering a disposition or capital gains.

1. Manage riskFolio funds: Complete, diversified portfolios in a single fundEach folio fund is a carefully constructed portfolio of funds designed to match your investment goals and tolerance for risk while protecting you from the extremes of market volatility.

Folio funds help maintain expected returns that range from generating current income to providing long-term growth. All are diversified across investment management style, geographic region and asset class and are automatically rebalanced. Because these funds are engineered to minimize risk, all you have to do is choose the one appropriate for your risk tolerance and professional investment managers take care of the details.

2. Reduce taxesCorporate class funds – a tax-efficient way to investCorporate class funds offer opportunities for tax efficiency for your non-registered investments.

They help you reduce taxes in three ways:

1. Rebalancing or switching among funds in your account does not trigger immediate capital gains.

2. There is the potential to receive lower taxable income.

3. If there is taxable income, you pay less tax on it because of the type of income (capital gains and/or dividend income).

Series options to meet your needsFor those with substantial investments, you have access to series options with fees that may be tax-deductible. This is possible because the management and administration service fees and fund management fees on non-registered accounts are charged separately.

Income distribution series – tax-efficient incomeAlthough you can’t avoid paying income tax, you can invest in income distribution series funds, which allow you to defer tax without sacrificing the growth potential of your non-registered mutual fund investments.

Income distribution series, available with a five or eight per cent annual distribution, generates tax-efficient monthly cash flow without redeeming units. Each distribution is made up mostly of a return of your original investment – a return of capital – plus any income. The return of capital portion of the payment isn’t taxable when you receive it. Instead, your adjusted cost base is reduced, allowing you to defer taxes until some point in the future. Some funds may also make a year-end distribution of taxable income in the form of interest, dividends and/or capital gains.

To minimize portfolio drift, you need a plan to bring your asset mix back to its original state. The rebalancing service automatically adjusts your asset mix on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, allowing you to sell an asset class that has done well (which may cause a taxable disposition), and purchase those that may currently be undervalued. The result is a buy-low and sell-high approach that brings your portfolio back in line with your personal tolerance for risk. You choose how far your portfolio drifts before it gets rebalanced, from a minimum of two per cent to a maximum of 10 per cent from your original specifications, depending on your comfort level with risk.

Rebalancing is a core investment principle and this rebalancing service is offered to you for free – an easy way to help you stick to your plan.

3. Manage your portfolioDollar-cost averaging service: Make the most of market opportunities

Trying to time your investments to catch market upswings may cause you to miss out on growth opportunities. The dollar-cost averaging service is an easy way for you to apply the discipline of dollar-cost averaging and it removes the guesswork around trying to time the market.

Start by depositing a lump-sum investment into either the Quadrus Money Market Fund or the tax-free savings account (TFSA) high-yield savings account. The service will systematically and regularly move money into your choice of Quadrus Group of Funds over six or 12 months.

Rebalancing service minimizes portfolio driftPortfolio drift is the tendency for the original asset mix of a portfolio to change over time. This shift occurs naturally as markets fluctuate and one asset class or investment manager style outperforms another. The eventual result can be a mix of investments that no longer reflects your original objectives and personal tolerance for risk.

You can choose a variety of funds on the spectrum of risk and return. It isn’t a matter of choosing one fund over another, but rather finding the right mix of funds based on your tolerance for risk. This ensures your portfolio is properly diversified, no matter how much you’ve invested.

Create a diversified portfolio based on your risk tolerance, time horizon and goals, by choosing from the suite of 42 funds offered by Quadrus Group of Funds. The result is a combination of investments that comfortably balance risk and return. Whether you want simplicity, tax efficiency, or complements to your other investments, Quadrus Group of Funds has many options.

Prominent investment managers bring diversification Quadrus Group of Funds brings together the expertise of prominent investment managers from around the world to manage your money. They continually research and monitor market trends and the companies in which they invest on your behalf. Our investment manager review process monitors how each manager fulfills his or her specific investment mandate, so you can be sure your investment expectations are met.

Building a diversified portfolio means investing in a number of funds to reduce overall risk. The same principle applies to using a number of investment managers within your portfolio. Each investment manager has a different management style to investing, including bottom-up, top-down, growth, and value, and each style can react differently under the same market conditions. Portfolios containing multiple management styles can provide more long-term consistency in performance over different market cycles.

Top-down

Focus their outlook on the economy as a whole. They identify regions or industries expected to perform well and select the best companies within those regions or industries.

bottom up

Focus on the fundamentals of specific companies and give less consideration to region or industry. Like all active managers, they analyze financial statements and interview company management and then select the best companies based on their research. Regional and industry weightings are the result of individual stock selection.

Growth

Look for companies with strong sales and earnings growth potential and are comfortable paying a premium for strong growth potential. They expect the market price of the stock to increase when its sales and earnings growth estimates materialize.

value

Select companies with a stock price that doesn’t reflect its true value. They expect the market price of the stock to increase when other investors realize that value exists.

Growth at a reasonable price

Invests in stocks with growth potential, but only when the stocks are reasonably priced relative to the overall market. They generally search for a favourable combination of earnings growth (higher is better) and price-to-earnings ratio (lower is better).

Setanta Asset Management LimitedSetanta Asset Management was established in 1998 and manages more than C$7.1 billion* from its base in Dublin, Ireland. Setanta does not believe the market is efficient. Their aim is to purchase and own assets at a price below a reasonable assessment of their worth. As value managers, this is where they focus their resources. Their process is akin to assessing a part ownership of a business rather than trading a security. This assessment of value must always encompass a thorough understanding of where this value is derived. Risk management is central to their analysis and they seek to identify this risk in three areas:

■ Financial risk: Detect financial weaknesses that might destabilise the investment

■ Operational risk: Identify factors which could cause a loss of earnings power

■ Valuation risk: Avoid over-paying for an investment

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated.

Overall, while corporate class funds provide tax-deferral advantages, taxes may still be payable in the future, as these funds only delay realizing a taxable capital gain. Corporate class funds don’t allow you to avoid incurring tax liabilities. When clients redeem funds from the corporate class fund family a capital gain or loss is created. Funds may realize capital gains from trading activity (switches) that may potentially increase capital gains dividends distributed to investors.
