Portfolio Data & Strategy
The Fund is diversified into four asset classes: office, residential, industrial and retail, and is also divided geographically across Canada. In order to provide both strong returns and liquidity, the investment focus is on Canada's larger cities with strong economies. Risk is further managed by a very conservative debt to value ratio and by having only a small development component.
