Causeway Capital Management LLC (Causeway) has been appointed as portfolio sub-advisor for Renaissance Global Markets Fund. Causeway is an independent investment management firm based in Los Angeles, California, and founded in June 2001. It takes a bottom-up approach to selecting mid- and large-cap global stocks, seeking to identify under-priced securities that are held until the market recognizes their fair value. The firm's portfolio managers and research analysts work together to determine expected returns for undervalued securities. This analysis is then refined using tools developed by their quantitative specialists to manage portfolio risk. Causeway manages over $41 billion in assets as of Dec. 31.
Renaissance Canadian Core Value Fund
For the global equity component, the Fund will now include exposure to Renaissance Global Value Fund, sub-advised by Pzena Investment Management, LLC. The Canadian equity sleeve of the Fund will continue to be managed by CIBC Asset Management.
