Philosophy and Approach

  • We were among the first to introduce asset allocation portfolios in Canada, pioneering the integration of alternative investments alongside equities and fixed income. Our approach combines three decades of asset allocation experience with new thinking and innovation that can help improve investment outcomes.

  • Investment Process:

    The TD Balanced Plus strategy invests in a combination of units of managed pooled funds that may include short-term, fixed income, Canadian, U.S. and non-North American equities, real estate, infrastructure, and commercial mortgages. Specifically, we use a disciplined three-point process to manage this strategy.

    1. Starting with macroeconomics, monetary and fiscal policy, and global political and social trends, we review recent performance and forecast potential rates of return for each asset class.
    2. Based on this assessment, we design a target portfolio, with the optimal asset mix to capture those rates of return, keeping the strategy’s objectives – both return and risk – in mind.
    3. We then implement from the bottom up, using public and proprietary research, and a disciplined selection process for purchasing public market securities and private alternative assets.

    Since we are active managers, we continually challenge our assumptions, using experienced insight to interpret the latest economic and market trends.
