Goodwood Milford Fund LP & Goodwood Milford Fund Trust
Goodwood launches RRSP eligible Goodwood Milford Fund Trust
Portfolio Manager: Christopher Currie, CFA
Fund Objective/Description:
The Goodwood Milford Fund LP (the “Fund”) and RRSP eligible version of the long/short investment Fund, the Goodwood Milford Fund Trust (together, the “Funds”) seek to maximize capital appreciation and income while offering investors the benefit of portfolio diversification and capital growth. The core strategy consists of investing primarily in liquid fixed income securities issued by Canadian corporations that are selected to provide higher coupon income and capital gains due to credit upgrades or other credit enhancing events.
The portfolio asset allocation is typically 70%-to-80% short-term investment-grade corporate bonds with 20%-to-30% invested in mid-to-large cap dividend-paying equities, thereby seeking to provide inflation protection and portfolio growth. The investment team incorporates credit income and equity analysis through fundamental securities selection to determine the most attractive capital structure investment for a given public company. This investment methodology has consistently generated superior risk-adjusted results. The investment team actively reallocates the fixed-income and equity asset allocation percentage to reduce risk and augment return. As such, the Fund can be used as a core investment (balance fund) or included as a complementary investment within a portfolio’s fixed-income allocation sleeve.
The Fund has provided investors with a first quartile, net +12.6% compound annual return with low monthly return volatility since its inception in 2006. The Fund has won multiple industry awards for best Sharpe ratio beating other leading alternative credit-focused and balanced Canadian funds.
The Funds offer weekly liquidity and the strategy is available to registered and taxable accounts (RRSP, TFSA, RESP, RRIF) and provides a 4% annual cash distribution yield or total return unit.
The Key Reasons to own the Goodwood Milford Fund Strategy:
- Offers investors a unique and proven strategy with a long-term track record of return outperformance
- Provides investors access to the institutional fixed-income market
- Provides investors with a return profile that cannot be manufactured by passive or quantitative vehicles
- Adding the Fund provides existing portfolios with a higher return potential per unit of risk
- The Fund has a low correlation to broader equity or fixed-income macro factors
- Balanced approach provides investors with an actively managed investment throughout business cycles
