National Bank has added a new asset class to the private investment management service offered by National Bank Trust to high net worth individuals.

With the various governments around the world planning to work more closely with the private sector to carry out new large-scale projects, major investments are expected over the coming years and companies specializing in infrastructure projects will be highly sought after.

The new asset class proposed by private investment management is primarily made up of securities of these types of companies, and is an attractive complement for investors looking to achieve optimal portfolio diversification.

“In today’s dynamic climate, we believe it is important to keep our products up-to-date in order to meet the needs of our clients and provide them with access to investment vehicles that are usually only available to institutional clients. Diversifying securities and management styles ensures a better risk-return balance over the long term,” says Éric Laflamme, president and CEO of National Bank Trust.

National Bank Trust’s Private Investment Management service includes discretionary investment portfolio management, financial planning, estate planning, trust and other services to more than 13,000 clients to help them achieve their financial objectives and to ensure the smooth transfer of their assets.
