Toronto-based Connor, Clark & Lunn Funds Inc. (CCL) has brought a new liquid alternative mutual fund to market.
The PCJ Absolute Return II Fund is a market neutral, absolute return strategy targeting long-term returns similar to equities but with less volatility and low correlation to market direction.
The fund will be managed by PCJ Investment Counsel Ltd., which has managed a similar institutional portfolio for the last 10 years. The minimum investment for the fund is $5,000.
“Given its lower volatility profile than equity markets, and the low expected returns from fixed-income markets, we view the portfolio as a compelling standalone investment or portfolio diversifier,” said Adam Posman, chief investment officer, PCJ, in a release.
