Sun Life Global Investments expands product lineup with new corporate
class funds
TORONTO, Aug. 1, 2013 /CNW/ - Sun Life Global Investments launched
corporate class funds today, a tax-efficient solution for
non-registered assets. The new funds give investors the ability to
rebalance their portfolio without immediate tax consequences.
"We are excited to expand our suite of investments with the introduction
of corporate class funds," said Rick Headrick, President, Sun Life
Global Investments. "Our priority is to ensure investors have access to
a wide range of options to meet their savings goals and objectives."
Tax implications may leave investors hesitant to make portfolio
adjustments in response to market conditions or changing life stages.
Sun Life Global Investments' corporate class funds allow for
tax-deferred switching1, which can lead to more tax-efficient asset growth.
"Investors are looking for ways to build and protect their wealth," said
Sadiq S. Adatia, Chief Investment Officer, Sun Life Global Investments.
"Corporate class funds give investors the ability to rebalance their
portfolios without triggering immediate tax consequences. In today's
environment of slow economic growth and low interest rates,
tax-efficient growth means more of an investor's capital may remain
invested and benefit from compounding over time."
