The Fund will include investment strategies managed by three award-winning portfolio management teams: Canoe Financial, Fiera Capital Corporation, and Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC.“Canoe Defensive Global Balanced Fund will have the capability to protect against stock market volatility beyond the traditional balanced funds in the industry,” said Darcy Hulston, President and CEO of Canoe Financial. Nadim Rizk and the Global Equity Team from Fiera Capital will manage the equity allocation of the portfolio.  It will include the proprietary Risk Management Overlay Strategy of Fiera Capital’s Systematic Investment Strategies (SIS) team, which provides enhanced protection against market volatility.
