Shane Stuck has joined Sentry Select Capital Inc. as vice president and senior portfolio manager, the Toronto-based company said Tuesday.

Stuck will provide a fixed-income capability within the Sentry Select family of mutual funds. He will work with the lead managers to maximize returns on their fixed-income and cash allocations, and in hedging foreign currency exposure.

Stuck has over 20 years of fund management experience in Canadian, U.S. and global financial markets. He has worked at the Bank of Canada and in private banking, and managed global insurance bond portfolios in Toronto and New York. Recently, he managed a series of retail and institutional, U.S. dollar and global bond funds, and was responsible for his firm’s currency hedging and derivatives strategies across multiple portfolios. At each of his three previous companies, Stuck directly managed and was responsible for several billion dollars in portfolio assets.

Stuck has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics with Honours from the University of Western Ontario and a Masters in Business Administration from the University of British Columbia. He also holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

“His experience in managing institutional portfolios, along with his understanding of the needs of individual investors, provides Sentry Select with fixed-income, derivatives and currency hedging skills that are critical to Sentry’s evolution as a provider of income solutions to Canadian investors,” says Sandy McIntyre, senior vice president and chief investment officer of Sentry Select.
