Asset mix is the share of the whole portfolio invested in equities, bonds, cash and other assets. It is the main reason a growth portfolio behaves differently from a balanced or conservative portfolio.
The table shows each fund’s published mix and ranks funds by equity allocation within the selected category. Use the category lenses to compare Growth, Balanced, Conservative and Income portfolios.
When a fund publishes a complete portfolio mix, an omitted sleeve is shown as 0%. If there is not enough information to resolve the whole mix, its allocation is unavailable.
A multi-asset portfolio can distribute bond interest, foreign income, Canadian dividends, capital gains and return of capital. The latest T3 shows how the fund reported that year's distribution for tax.
The figure averages one shared tax year across portfolios with a complete T3 character. In the table, recurring income is a subtotal of its components. Capital gains and return of capital are separate distribution sources.
Trailing yield measures the cash a portfolio distributed over the last 12 months. Total return adds changes in the unit value to the cash received. The two can move differently because an allocation's equity and bond sleeves both contribute to return.
The chart places the current trailing yield beside the recent three-year total return, so the cash payout and the whole result can be read together.
Volatility measures day-to-day movement in the unit price. Drawdown records the largest peak-to-trough fall during the same three-year period.
The chart shows whether portfolios with larger price swings also delivered larger three-year returns. The table adds drawdown because two funds with a similar volatility figure can still have experienced very different falls.
Set the importance of total return, yield, volatility and maximum drawdown. The table reorders live. Total return and yield contribute more when higher; volatility and maximum drawdown contribute more when lower.
The shortlist includes portfolios with every measure given a positive weight. Set a weight to zero to remove that measure from the score.
The score is a weighted percentile comparison, not a forecast.
