What is a Private Pool?
A Private Pool is a private investment fund. In return for your investment in the Private Pool, you will receive units of the Private Pool. The value of these units is based on the value of the Private Pool’s underlying investments. A professional portfolio manager manages these investments on a discretionary basis.
Content
The Private Pool will be invested in sovereign, supranational, federal, provincial, municipal, and investment grade corporate bonds, as well as asset backed securities. Cash and money market instruments can also be included in the Private Pool.
Who is this investment for?
Investors who:
- want to receive interest income regularly.
- are willing to tolerate a low level of risk.

A word about tax
In general, you’ll have to pay income tax on any gain and revenue generated from your investment. How much you pay depends on the tax laws that are applicable in the area you live in and whether or not you hold the investment in a registered plan, such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan or a Tax-Free Savings Account. Keep in mind that if you hold your investment in a non-registered account, fund distributions or capital gains are included in your taxable income; whether they are paid, accrued or reinvested.
