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 Equity Income Basket is equipped with a dual mandate. On one hand, it seeks to generate long-term value. On the other hand, the Basket seeks to generate an attractive current yield via its focus on equities with a higher dividend and income trusts. The Basket’s overall objective is to obtain a current yield of at least 3%. In order to minimize volatility, sound diversification across sectors and regions will also remain apriority. Your Investment Advisor may provide you with a Investment Policy Statement.
