Ottawa-based MD Private Investment Counsel (MDPIC) is introducing two new mutual fund pools that will provide clients exposure to alternative investments.

MDPIC says the new mutual fund pools give clients access to advanced solutions to maximize portfolio returns while increasing diversification and reducing risk.

“Having alternative asset classes and strategies within MD’s total wealth management offering equips physicians and their families with a better risk-adjusted return solution set,” explains stated Brian Peters, president and CEO.

MDPIM Strategic Yield Pool will invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) that provide investors with exposure to yield-generating fixed income and equities including global bonds, emerging-markets debt and preferred equities.

MDPIM Strategic Opportunities Pool will invest in ETFs that provide investors with exposure to real estate investment trusts (REITs), infrastructure and commodities, timber and U.S., international and emerging-market small cap equities.

MD Physician Services, with more than $30 billion in assets under administration, is dedicated to serving physicians and their families.
