Concentrated Growth: An individual equity portfolio strategy focused on capital appreciation. The portfolio primarily invests in mid to large US based companies and is not an asset allocation investment strategy.

Fluctuations will reflect US mid-to-large-cap equity market volatility. (This portfolio is available for Global, Domestic and Sustainable Responsible allocations).

Fluctuation can be significant and is only suitable for clients that are comfortable with high capital fluctuation and have a long-term investment horizon.

Equity Income: This portfolio provides a combination of capital appreciation with some income generation. This strategy is subject to equity market fluctuation and is only suitable for clients with long term time horizons or an above-average tolerance for risk.
