Desjardins Investments ups risk of real estate fund

Desjardins Investments has changed its global real estate fund.

The change reflects the adjustment of the risk tolerance level associated with investment in the fund. This move follows a risk assessment by Desjardins Investments that took into account the following quantitative and qualitative factors:

• The fund’s investment strategy
• The sectors or regions in which the fund invests
• The volatility of returns and the risk levels of comparable funds

As such, the risk tolerance level for the real estate offering has increased from medium up to medium-to-high. Its fundamental objective and strategy remain unchanged.
