We do bonds in this pool differently than others.
The bond portion of the VPI Income Pool uses the same strategy as the VPI Corporate Bond Pool.
Ability to shift between bond and equity weightings.
At all times, the pool requires an asset allocation with a minimum of 25% fixed income and a minimum of 25% equities.
If the portfolio manager identifies high quality businesses at attractive prices, the asset weighting of the pool will shift towards the ownership of more equities, to a maximum of 75%.
On the other hand, if the portfolio manager cannot identify investments that meet rigorous standards for value and quality, the asset weighting of the pool shifts towards more fixed income, to a maximum of 75%.
