Commentary: NCM Global Income Growth Class

Transcript:

Hi everybody, Jason Isaac here from Calgary, Alberta. It's Tuesday, September 6th. First day of what feels like fall. It was, I think, 33 degrees here on Saturday and now it's 15. So, it's crazy how the seasons change when you're out west here.

Anyway, here at you with an update for the NCM Global Income with Growth Portfolio. And just to take a step back, kind of want to give you an idea of what we're looking for and what we're trying to do in the fund at a high level, it is a global asset allocation strategy. It is designed for Canadian investors who want to look outside the domestic market for opportunities that are not necessarily prevalent in Canada. We all know Canada's got great banks, Canada's got good energy companies, Canada's got good telecom companies. But the health care world, the tech world, the consumer discretionary world may not exist in Canada. So that's why we take the opportunity to look beyond.

If I were to sum up the portfolio in a really, really nice encapsulated way, I would say it's very aggressive in its asset allocation strategy and very, very conservative in its security selection strategy. So, we look for companies that have free cash flow, that tend to kick out dividends, that tend to be first movers and type of market for what they do.

And the best quote that I've ever heard, and it probably actually speaks really well to our Canadian market participants. it's a Wayne Gretzky quote, “We skate to where the puck is going, not to where the puck is”. That's what we're trying to do in the global income growth. And I would leave it at that.
