Investment Process

Lincluden's valuation and portfolio structuring process incorporates a top-down approach to determine asset mix, and a "bottom-up" process to individual security selection. Our methodology factors in the fundamental long-term earning power of corporations, long-term interest rates and the dynamics of rapid asset re-pricing. The process is not designed to generate frequent changes in asset mix but rather to indicate when asset classes are significantly mispriced.
