About this portfolio
Mandate
The Optimize Tactical Growth Portfolio – Class V seeks to invest in both equity oriented and income oriented investments. In selecting its equity and income oriented investments, this model portfolio invests in Equity, Bond, and REIT ETFs offered through Vanguard Investments Canada. In addition to this strategy and for diversification purposes, up to 30% may also be allocated in each of the Optimize Growth Equity and the Optimize Premium Income pooled funds. In setting the mix between the portfolio’s equity and income oriented investments, the manager employs a dynamic tactical asset allocation strategy to establish the portfolio’s optimal asset allocation.

Readers should ensure that their individual circumstances have been considered and that if they do take any action, such action is taken based on the most applicable and most available information. This document contains certain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information, within the meaning of applicable securities law, which are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, because they relate to future events and circumstances and there are many factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and information. Therefore, actual future results and trends may differ materially from what is forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. Optimize Inc. (“Optimize”) does not and cannot guarantee the future performance of your Account or the success of any investment decision or strategy that it may use or suggest. Optimize makes no promise that the investments recommended to you will be profitable or will not lose you money. The investments Optimize may recommend are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks. Investing involves a high level of risk and the securities in which your Account invests may be volatile and may depreciate rapidly. Investing using leverage involves a higher degree of risk and should not be undertaken without a complete awareness and acceptance of the additional risks involved. Your Account may deviate from any one Model Portfolio and its performance at any point in time for a variety of reasons. Your Account may not be assigned to any one specific Model Portfolio. Two or more Accounts which are managed according to the same Model Portfolio can have different performance returns for a variety of reasons, mainly stemming from the fact that you are not purchasing fund units in the same fund but rather you are having your Accounts managed on a separate basis. Furthermore, if you and Optimize agree to hold investments in your Account which are not held in the Model Portfolio assigned to your Account, or are not recommended by Optimize, or are not held in the Model Portfolio assigned to your Account in the same proportions as your Account, then your Account will have a different performance than the Model Portfolio assigned to your Account, either higher or lower, or could exhibit poor performance and Optimize shall not be responsible. All returns presented as hypothetical are hypothetical and are back-tested. As such, any returns marked as hypothetical do not represent the investment performance of actual Accounts of any investors.
