Reserve Fund Investments
Who is this model for?
This model is managed for condo boards with a minimum of $250,000 in investable assets. Investments are managed to provide long-term capital appreciation while maintaining liquidity.
It is appropriate for condo boards who want to invest in more than GICs. The model is a blend of equity, fixed income, and cash equivalents. Returns are expected to have minimal volatility.
Qube constructed the Reserve Fund Portfolio to follow Schedule 2 Rules, an addendum to the Alberta Condominium Property Act (CPA). In the Portfolio Qube holds:
-
15% Public Equities (Kaleo Portfolio)
-
35% Government Fixed Income
-
35% Corporate Fixed Income
-
15% Money Market Funds
Performance is measured on a three-year return net of fees. This portfolio's benchmark is 7.5% MSCI World Index, 7.5% S&P TSX Total Return Index, 70% iShares Core Canadian Universe Bond Index, and 15% Cash CAD.
