Aside from addressing investors’ growing demand for sustainable investing, the pool allows investors to benefit from income and inflation protection. It also represents a key pillar of Sun Life’s sustainability strategy, which in part holds that viewing investments through an ESG lans leads to superior financial results over the long term.
“Launching the Pool broadens our platform of investment solutions available to Clients,” Smith said. “It also builds on our commitment to investing strategies that drive long-term sustainable outcomes while helping investors build wealth and secure their financial future.”
SLGI has also launched the Sun Life MFS U.S. Mid Cap Growth Fund to help meet increasing advisor demand for U.S. midcap stocks. With an eye toward achieving long-term capital appreciation and strong risk-adjusted returns, the fund invests in medium-sized, innovative U.S. companies.
Straddling the risk-return profiles of fast-growing small-cap stocks and established large companies, the fund can be a tool to help diversify portfolios while providing strong growth opportunities. With MFS Investment Management Canada Limited as its sub-advisor, the fund leverages the global research capabilities behind the Sun Life MFS U.S. Growth Fund, unearthing high-quality companies that can deliver on the promise of delivering long-term growth.
Both the pool and the fund are offered as vehicles to access active strategies capitalizing the experience of their world-class sub advisors.
