What is a Basket?
It is an investment model that is managed by a professional portfolio manager on a discretionary basis in your brokerage account. You directly own its underlying securities and receive the dividends and/or interest paid.
Investment Strategy
The Jarislowsky Fraser Canadian Equity Basket seeks to achieve a superior rate of return, primarily through capital appreciation, by investing in a diversified portfolio of about 20 to 45 large capitalization Canadian stocks. Portfolio construction is based on rigorous fundamental bottom-up analysis and a 3 groups categorization : "blue-chip" (minimum 50% of the portfolio), cyclical leaders (maximum 33%) and special situations (maximum 10%). Your Investment Advisor may provide you with the complete Investment Policy Statement.
