RBC Global Asset Management Inc. (RBC GAM) announced on Tuesday that, effective mid-August, 2014, responsibilities of the PH&N Overseas Equity Fund will be transferred from Sky Investment Counsel to RBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited (RBC GAM-UK), in London.

This is an important development, which triggers a due diligence review to assess the impact of this change on the PH&N Overseas Equity Fund held in Meritage Portfolios. The due diligence review includes a comprehensive analysis of any quantitative and qualitative factors related to this change thereby ensuring that Meritage Portfolios continue to hold funds with above average prospects for long term risk-adjusted returns.

The results of the due diligence review will be communicated over the coming weeks.

The commitment of Meritage Portfolios has always been to offer the best blend of the best funds available in the industry. From over 5,000 funds available to investors, 24 were carefully selected based on their potential return, sustained performance over time and the synergy of their portfolio managers’ investment approaches.
