aa | Check out the funds
Take some time to review the investment options listed below to determine which funds you might like to invest in. Before you choose an investment option, we recommend you complete the Investor Strategy Worksheet to determine your investor style. You can access this worksheet online during your enrolment, or by following the procedure indicated at the bottom of this page after you enroll.
Investment Option A: Target Date Portfolio
To help make investment selection simpler for you, Air Canada offers well-balanced Target Date Portfolios.
Portfolios are offered with three (3) levels of risk, one for each investor style: conservative, moderate or dynamic. Each portfolio is based on an expected date of retirement. The portfolios invest in a diverse range of funds intended to offer growth potential through different market cycles.
Simply determine your investor style and the year you plan to retire, and the portfolio's composition will be managed for you. As you get closer to your planned retirement date, the asset mix inside your portfolio is rebalanced automatically to become more conservative.
Click here for information on the portfolio composition.
The portfolio code starts with the letter P, followed by your retirement year, then a letter that corresponds to your investor style (Conservative = V, Moderate = X, Dynamic = Z).
For example, if you plan to retire in 2032 and are a conservative investor, your portfolio code is P2032V. |
Other investment available to you if you choose a portfolio
In addition to your portfolio, you may wish to invest a portion of your savings in the:
- MLI 5 Year Guaranteed Interest Account – code 1005
You can not select any other investment fund if you select a portfolio. Only one portfolio can be selected at any time.
Investment Option B: Build Your Own Portfolio
If you prefer to build your own portfolio, you can do so by choosing from the investments below. It is important to determine your investor style first, using the Investor Strategy Worksheet and ensure you select investments that suit your style.
