Keeping Investments on Track
A Convenient Way to Reach Your Investing Goals
If you're looking for a way to build a well-constructed portfolio
with a single investment decision, an investment portfolio
solution by RBC Asset Management can help.
Offering a diversified mix of
investments that are aligned with your goals and risk tolerance,
our portfolio solutions can help you succeed through diversification,
consistency and discipline.
Learn how the following key features
of our investment portfolio solutions can help you stay on
the right track:
A Disciplined Approach
Investors who constantly chase performance
are rarely successful. They
always remain a step behind because they buy high (after
markets have rallied), and then sell
low (after markets have declined).
|
|
Research shows that average investors who chase performance, by buying after markets have risen and selling after markets have declined, don't do as well as those using buy-and-hold strategy.
|
Since portfolio solutions are
managed for
you, they stay on top of current trends, helping you to
avoid making decisions based on short-term market events.
A Well-Constructed, Diversified Portfolio
Managed Portfolio solutions
always maintain diversified exposure to different countries and
sectors. This helps to reduce the impact of a downturn in one
particular sector, asset class or region. Portfolio solutions also
protect
you against a high degree of overlap across individual funds,
ensuring proper exposure to markets offering sound potential.
Diversification is especially important for Canadian investors
as the Canadian
market is predominantly made up of Financials and Resources
stocks, offering limited exposure to the Consumers and Health
Care sectors.
A Focus on the Long Term
Many investors don’t realize that
moving in and out of the market can undermine the long-term performance of their investments.

Missing just the 10 best days in a 10-year period would have cut the average annual return of an investment in the S7P/TSX almost in half.
|
In fact, over a 10-year period, missing just the 10 best days
in the market could cut returns almost in half. And because equity
markets are so volatile, trying to predict the right time to invest
is something even the most seasoned money managers don’t
try to attempt. Because portfolio solutions always remain invested,
you'll benefit from strong trading days and increase your probability
of success over the long term.
Your Holdings are Rebalanced Regularly
Allowing your asset mix
to drift can cause your portfolio to fall out of line with your
long-term objectives and risk tolerance.
With managed portfolio solutions,
you don't have to worry about this as we actively monitor and rebalance
the portfolios for you to maintain the proper exposure to different
asset classes. This also allows you to lock in gains from one asset
class and redeploy these gains in other areas.
A Reflection of Current
Market Trends
RBC Asset Management's market outlook is always incorporated
into the investment portfolio solutions we offer. This keeps you
on top of current investment trends – saving you the time
spent researching the markets on your own.
Simplicity
In addition
to providing you with the convenience and simplicity of a single
investment decision, portfolio solutions also appear as a single
item on your statement, making it even easier for you to track
progress toward your goals.
