Forstrong Global investment strategies now on RBC Dominion Securites' A+ platform

TORONTO, March 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Continuing its commitment to providing financial professionals access to sophisticated global investment solutions, Forstrong Global's acclaimed portfolio strategies have been added to RBC Dominion Securities A+ platform.

Beginning February 27, both Forstrong's core portfolio solutions and globally focused completion strategies will be available to RBC Dominion Securities advisors and their clients. These strategies have been designed to meet the challenge of exponential change during these increasingly globalized and discontinuous times.

Forstrong's low downside track record is a testament to the benefits of a structured macro thematic investment style that provides wide exposure to developed, emerging and frontier market countries, commodities and currencies. These macro strategies offer investment professionals a ready solution for accessing a diversified range of global exposures, providing an effective complement to traditionally benchmark-centric or domestically-biased portfolios.

"We are proud to work with RBCDominion Securities, a recognized, global leader in wealth management," said Tyler Mordy, President and CIO of Forstrong Global."Our mission from day one has been to deliver sophisticated turnkey global balanced solutions for financial professionals and institutions. This association is well timed to meet the growing needs of Canadian investors who are increasingly becoming more knowledgeable about the growing benefits of actively managed macro thematic portfolios. Our ultimate goal is to deliver clients a differentiated global portfolio that can thrive and withstand the shocks of a globalized, modern world."
