MyNorth IndexPlus Managed Portfolios

The MyNorth IndexPlus Managed Portfolios is a suite of multi-manager, multi-asset portfolios managed across five risk profiles, ranging from conservative to aggressive.  The portfolios are managed close to their long-term asset allocation targets, guided by a core-satellite approach that combines the efficiencies of passive strategies and the strengths of high-quality active investment strategies. They may appeal to cost-conscious clients that are seeking to reduce the overall variability around market returns.

MyNorth Sustainable Managed Portfolios

The MyNorth Sustainable Managed Portfolios are actively managed multi-manager, multi-asset portfolios offered with three risk profiles. The portfolios are managed within a sustainable framework that focuses on delivering financial returns while aiming to make positive, sustainable changes to society and the environment.

The portfolio employs a sustainable approach to investing, actively seeking out managed funds that integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their investment decisions. Fund selection is guided by three sustainability principles: transitioning to a low-carbon environment, avoiding strategic investments in thermal coal, tobacco, gambling, pornography, and controversial weapons, and encouraging positive ESG outcomes for the community.
