Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Ltd., the manager of Dynamic European Value Fund, announced today that Goodman & Company will assume portfolio management of the fund from Sanderson Asset Management Ltd. effective January 30.
Separately, Goodman & Company announced the appointment of J.P. Morgan Asset Management (Canada) Inc., Principal Global Investors, LLC and McKinley Capital Management, Inc. as sub-advisors of Marquis International Equity Pool.
Each of the three sub-advisors will have portfolio management responsibility for one-third of the pool, providing investors with broad diversification in terms of investment styles and market capitalization. J.P. Morgan specializes in value investing, focusing mainly on mega-cap and large-cap stocks. Principal takes a broadly-diversified core approach, investing primarily in large-cap stocks. McKinley follows a growth style, investing in small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap stocks. The pool invests in markets outside North America.
The sub-advisors were selected by the Portfolio Solutions Oversight Committee, made up of executives from Goodman & Company and DundeeWealth Inc., following an intensive search and evaluation process.
“We are excited to have three investment management firms of this quality, each with a distinct investment style, for Marquis International Equity Pool,” said Marc St-Pierre, CFA, chairman of the Oversight Committee. “Given the track records of these managers, we expect this combination will generate increased returns while controlling volatility.”
The three new sub-advisors will begin managing for the Pool on or about January 30, replacing Walter Scott & Partners Ltd. and Sanderson Asset Management Limited.
The Marquis Investment Program has $2 billion in assets under management. Marquis products feature 12 investment management firms worldwide which generally focus on institutional investors, along with mutual funds from six leading companies in Canada.
Goodman & Company has more than $26 billion in assets under management. The investment management firm is a subsidiary of Toronto-based DundeeWealth Inc.
