RBC Asset Management Inc. has launched two new equity funds featuring the time-tested, disciplined “O’Shaughnessy approach” to investment management. These funds will appeal to investors who are looking for a clearly defined and consistent way to invest around the world, or here at home.
The RBC O’Shaughnessy Global Equity Fund is a “go anywhere” fund, with both growth and value holdings in North America, Europe, Asia and emerging markets.
“Investing globally is an important way to create a diversified portfolio, and we are strongly encouraging Canadians to review their investments and consider allocating a greater portion of their assets outside of Canada,” points out Brenda Vince, president, RBC Asset Management.
The RBC O’Shaughnessy All-Canadian Equity Fund offers investors a 100% Canadian portfolio incorporating both growth and value securities. Like all RBC O’Shaughnessy Funds, it employs Jim O’Shaughnessy’s disciplined, transparent methodology for security selection.
This marks the 10th year of the exclusive partnership between RBC and Jim O’Shaughnessy, whose quantitative approach to security selection continues to deliver compelling results. Considered a leading expert and pioneer in quantitative stock analysis, Jim O’Shaughnessy is senior managing director at Bear Stearns Asset Management Inc. based in New York and is the highly acclaimed author of three best-selling books, including What Works on Wall Street.
The two new funds are added to the existing lineup of RBC O’Shaughnessy Funds:
- RBC O’Shaughnessy Canadian Equity Fund (closed to new investors),
- RBC O’Shaughnessy International Equity Fund,
- RBC O’Shaughnessy U.S. Value Fund and
- RBC O’Shaughnessy U.S. Growth Fund (closed to new investors).
