Asset Allocation at your Fingertips

Asset allocation is key to any well-diversified portfolio. The performance of asset classes, including cash equivalents, fixed income and equities, can vary year over year. Spreading your assets across multiple asset classes ensures that you don’t have all your eggs in one basket

Automatic Quarterly Rebalancing

Every calendar quarter Scotia Portfolios are reviewed to ensure that weightings of the underlying Scotia Funds in your portfolio do not deviate from their prescribed weightings. In the event of a deviation of 3.0% or greater in either direction, the portfolio is rebalanced back to those original weightings.

 

Sample Scotia Balanced Portfolio Breakdown

  Prescribed Weighing Quarter 1 Change from Optimal Mix
Mutual Fund A 40% 36.34% 3.66%
Mutual Fund B 15% 13.82% 1.18%
Mutual Fund C 15% 16.87% 1.87%
Mutual Fund D 15% 15.52% 0.52%
Mutual Fund E 15% 17.45% 2.45%
In this example, mutual fund A has drifted more than 3.0% due to market movements. Although the other four funds have not drifted more than 3.0% mutual fund A triggers a rebalance to reset each fund’s weighting to the original prescribed weighting.

As you take advantage of high performance markets, automatic rebalancing ensures you lock in those gains and redistribute your investment dollars to the optimal allocation in the portfolio. This can help reduce the amount of volatility in your portfolio, with the potential for more stable returns over time.

Professionally Managed Mutual Funds

All funds included in the portfolios are managed by expert money managers from around the world, including thoses that are part of the Scotiabank Group.

Pre-Authorised Contributions

You can set up an Pre-Authorised Contribution (PAC) to regularly invest in your portfolio. Investing regularly is one of the simplest ways to take advantage of market volatility and reduce the risks of market timing.
