National Bank Investments forges a new alliance with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.

T.NA

MONTREAL, July 6, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - National Bank Investments Inc. has reaffirmed its role as a key business partner in the world of mutual funds, by adding a major player to an already extensive line-up of high calibre portfolio managers: Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (GSAM). This agreement gives all Canadian retail investors premium access to an internationally renowned portfolio manager.

"The partnership with Goldman Sachs Asset Management is made possible thanks to our 100% open architecture platform here at National Bank Investments", said Jonathan Durocher, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Bank Investments. "We are in fact the only major Canadian bank to exclusively retain third party portfolio managers. This entrepreneurial culture enables us to attract the most reputable portfolio managers and to provide investors with a unique access to their expertise", added Mr. Durocher.

"We're excited about expanding our investment management capabilities in Canada," said James McNamara, Global Head Third Party Distribution at GSAM. "Through this strategic partnership, the National Bank Strategic U.S. Income and Growth Fund is now available to investors across Canada."

The National Bank Strategic U.S. Income and Growth Fund at a glance:

  • A dynamically managed strategy, that seeks to add value on four levels: asset allocation, security selection, asset location (making an active decision on how to gain exposure to a company within its capital structure) and duration management;
  • GSAM's Best Ideas, Go Anywhere; within the framework of its defined yield and volatility targets, GSAM uses an integrated approach that allows for investment opportunities across the full "yield continuum" of equities and bonds, in both traditional and non-traditional asset classes;
  • Balanced U.S. focused approach, tactical in nature, with currency risk management in the fixed income allocation.
