Capital Group Canada supports Canadian investors nearing retirement with Monthly Income Portfolio

Capital Group's portfolio solution aims to provide consistent monthly income, helping investors attain the freedom to plan and enjoy an active retirement

TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2020 /CNW/ - Capital International Asset Management (Canada), Inc. has launched Capital Group Monthly Income Portfolio^TM (Canada), a globally diversified and flexible solution designed to help meet the lifestyle needs of investors nearing or in retirement.

"Capital Group recognizes that the risks facing investors saving for retirement differ fundamentally from the risks for retired investors, and that the transition into retirement requires special support," said Hilda Applbaum, portfolio manager and an architect of the solution. "We designed Monthly Income Portfolio to leverage asset classes from around the globe, providing the resiliency and consistency required to help investors stay the course when market volatility strikes."

Monthly Income Portfolio pursues its objectives by investing in a mix of stocks and bonds issued by companies and governments around the world, primarily through investments in underlying Capital Group and affiliated funds. The low risk-rated portfolio* is engineered to generate consistent monthly income for investors, regardless of which direction interest rates or stock markets are moving. The portfolio's higher quality bonds can help temper the downturns of the stock market, while dividend-paying stocks can provide growth while helping to reduce volatility.

"Canadians are looking for income without taking on too much risk," said Rick Headrick, president of Capital Group in Canada. "Retirees can be unnerved by how to generate income in today's market, and Monthly Income Portfolio is designed to help ease that burden. Retirement should be a starting line, not a finish line. We want to give investors the freedom to reflect, relaunch and retire on their own terms."

Monthly Income Portfolio is overseen by Capital Group's Global Solutions Committee, comprised of seven investment professionals who have a median of 27 years investment industry experience and have navigated several market cycles in their careers. Capital Group's flexible, bottom-up approach has defined its multi-asset portfolio offerings around the world. 

Monthly Income Portfolio is available through financial professionals and dealers nationwide. For more information, please visit our website.
