Cash Flow investment profile
MARCH 31, 2015
Objective
Commentary
This portfolio focuses on providing
regular, tax-efficient monthly income
with the potential for modest levels
of capital appreciation.
This quarter, the Cash Flow profile benefited from falling bond yields and the marginally
positive performance of Canadian equities. Bond prices rose on expectations that softer but
still steady growth in the U.S. will keep the U.S. Federal Reserve from raising interest rates
until later this year. The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan continue to try
to boost their economies with stimulative monetary policies, with the ECB implementing its
version of quantitative easing in March. The Bank of Canada also sought to offset the negative
impact of sharply lower oil prices with a surprise cut to its overnight rate. Despite the weak
performance of stocks in the financial, energy and materials sectors, Canadian stocks held up
due to strong performance in the industrials, consumer and health care sectors.
