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
While the Multiple Asset Class Basket seeks to attain long-term capital appreciation, it also aims to minimize the volatility ascribed to traditional asset classes. More specifically, is seeks to attain a return similar to that obtained by a traditional portfolio and a lower volatility. Both the diversity of asset classes and the inclusion of non traditional asset classes allow for a reduction in risk and volatility. Your Investment Advisor may provide you with the complete Investment Policy Statement.
