Selection process

 

BenchmarkPlus uses active management to select best-in-class long term growth securities. The manager identifies opportunities most likely to generate long term outperformance through the use of daily quantitative screening of equities with an emphasis on companies having more predictable earnings, reasonable valuation relative to growth prospects, and a solid outlook for earnings growth. A disciplined buy-sell strategy is used based on the BenchmarkPlus stock ranking criteria in addition to analysis by the internal investment committee. The BenchmarkPlus Canadian SRI Portfolio seeks to own 30 – 40 Canadian socially screened equities.
