North Square Strategic Income Fund I (ADVNX)

Overview

The fund operates as a "fund of funds," aiming to meet its investment objectives by predominantly investing in a variety of mutual funds, more commonly referred to as "underlying funds." While it primarily focuses on funds managed by its own advisor, it also possesses the flexibility to invest in unaffiliated mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to tap into asset classes that are otherwise not accessible through its advisor-managed funds. Characterized as a multi-strategy fund, it engages in investments either directly or indirectly via underlying funds in both equity securities and fixed income securities, striving for a balanced and diversified investment portfolio.

Products and Services

Mutual Funds Managed by the Advisor: The cornerstone of this fund involves investments in mutual funds overseen by its own advisor. These funds cover a broad spectrum of asset classes and investment strategies, allowing for a tailored approach to portfolio management based on prevailing economic conditions and future outlook.

Unaffiliated Mutual Funds or ETFs: To ensure comprehensive market coverage and access to a wider range of asset classes, the fund also allocates resources to unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs. This diversification strategy is pivotal for accessing sectors and markets not available through the advisor’s own selection of mutual funds.

Multi-Strategy Investments: By adopting a multi-strategy investment approach, the fund leverages both direct and indirect investments through underlying funds in equity and fixed income securities. This method enables a flexible and responsive investment framework, aimed at optimizing returns while managing risk across different market environments.
