Investors looking for a combination of long-term growth potential, income and tax-efficiency can now do so with Russell Investments Canada’s new LifePoints Balanced Portfolio.

The portfolio offers a 50-50 diversified balance of fixed income and equities. It also features a 6% distribution option, long-term growth potential, and tax efficient monthly cash flow.

“The LifePoints Balanced Portfolio is ideal for investors who want a moderate-risk, diversified investment that delivers long-term results,” says Sadiq Adatia, who manages the LifePoints Portfolios.

“In addition, we are giving investors the option to draw a tax-efficient monthly distribution if they so choose.”

The LifePoints Balanced Portfolio incorporates multi-asset, multi-style and multi-managers for greater risk control and diversification.

The new LifePoints Balanced Portfolio joins a diversified LifePoints line-up that already includes the:

  • LifePoints Balanced Income Portfolio (35% Equity/65% Fixed Income);
  • LifePoints Balanced Growth Portfolio (60% Equity/40% Fixed Income);
