Triasima Canadian Long/Short Equity
As of March 31, 2020
Investment Objective
The Triasima Canadian Long Short Strategy invests in Canadian equity securities and income trusts. Its investment objective is to generate a superior return to a performance benchmark consisting of 75% of 3- month Treasury Bill return + 25% of S&P/TSX Index return. Two secondary objectives are: 1) Outperform the S&P/TSX Composite Index over the long term (four years and longer) with less volatility than this index and a low correlation to the index and 2) Generate absolute returns over periods of eighteen months and longer.Investment Approach
Since 1998, the team of investment professionals at Triasima have employed their proprietary research process that uses a multi-disciplined methodology called the “Three Pillar Approach” to provide consistent and stable returns to their clients regardless of market conditions.| Available under | Pooled fund |
