Effective immediately, iA Global Asset Management announces that the Global True Conviction Fund is now managed by Marc Gagnon, for the Canadian sleeve and Dan Rohinton, for the U.S. and international sleeves.
Why this change?
We want to allow for a more flexible Canada/ex-Canada mandate with a 100% fundamental, high-conviction approach that provides a growth bias, without changing the Fund's current investment objectives.
| NOTE: No action is required on your part or your client's part. |
Dan’s naturally more concentrated investment approach (fewer stocks held in the portfolio) is better suited for a high conviction (best ideas) mandate as opposed to the quantitative approach introduced at the end of 2021 which requires a high number of stocks.
Dan has extensive experience in the U.S. and international markets. It is therefore a logical transition that allows our clients to benefit directly from our portfolio managers’ best ideas.
