TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - June 27, 2017) - Sentry Investments ("Sentry") is pleased to announce the launch of Sentry Defensive Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a new addition to the Sentry Personal Pension Portfolios line-up.
Sentry Personal Pension Portfolios are a series of five global portfolios built with the long term in mind. Taking a cue from some of the world's most sophisticated investors -- pension managers -- the portfolios offer dedicated exposure to real assets, including real estate, infrastructure, precious metals and energy, as well as global high-yield bonds. Real assets offer distinct and complementary benefits to traditional equities and bonds, which are also included within each portfolio.
Each of the five portfolios offers a different balance of growth and income depending on an investor's specific needs and goals. The new Portfolio is focused on providing investors with income while also preserving capital.
"Sentry Defensive Income Portfolio provides investors with our most conservative option in the well-rounded Sentry Personal Pension Portfolios roster," said Philip Yuzpe, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While the Portfolio is low-risk, it offers investors all the benefits of our investment team's expertise and active management, while providing exposure to the asset classes that are favoured by pension managers."
Sentry Personal Pension Portfolios are managed by a team of nine seasoned Sentry investment managers, with tactical asset allocation provided by Sentry's Asset Allocation Committee: Gaelen Morphet, Executive Vice-President and Chief Investment Officer; James Dutkiewicz, Chief Investment Strategist and Senior Portfolio Manager; and Andy Nasr, Vice-President, Capital Markets and Investment Strategist.
The five portfolios are:
- Sentry Defensive Income Portfolio
- Sentry Conservative Income Portfolio
- Sentry Balanced Income Portfolio
- Sentry Growth and Income Portfolio
- Sentry Growth Portfolio
