Credential® Select Portfolio Funds offer the simplicity of investing in one mutual fund, while gaining the diversity, expert management, and performance of many.

Each Credential Select Portfolio Fund uses a fund of funds approach — investing in a mix of other top Canadian mutual funds with names you can trust: AIM/Trimark, The Ethical Funds Company™, Fidelity Investments, Franklin Templeton Investments, and Mackenzie Financial.

The Credential Select Advantage

Access to Multiple Top Fund Managers
Benefit from the expertise of underlying fund portfolio managers with names you can trust. All managers are experts in their respective area of specialization and style and have met and surpassed rigorous selection criteria based on track record, clarity, consistency, and strategic focus.

Diversified to Reduce Volatility
Your Credential Select Portfolio Fund gains wide exposure to the world's capital markets by diversifying across multiple investment types, manager styles, geographies, and asset classes. Diversification makes your investments less susceptible to market volatility, and positions them better to chart a path of steady growth.

Asset Allocation
Strategic asset allocation is done for you. And since as much as 91% of a portfolio's performance variation can be attributed to asset allocation, not market timing that's an important advantage. Your Credential Select Portfolio Fund takes care of the complexity of asset allocation for you — weighting the asset classes to align with your financial goals.

Automatically Rebalanced
Free yourself from the demands of monitoring your investments on a day-to-day basis. Each Credential Select Portfolio Fund is automatically rebalanced to ensure your portfolio's asset allocation continues to match your risk tolerance level and financial objectives.

Portfolios for All Investor Types

There is a Credential Select Portfolio Fund that's appropriate for almost every investor:

	Credential Select Conservative Portfolio
	For investors who value income and security more than growth, over a medium time horizon.
	Credential Select Balanced Portfolio
	For investors who want both income and growth, over a medium time horizon.
	Credential Select Growth Portfolio
	For investors looking for long-term growth through equity and income-oriented mutual funds.
	Credential Select High Growth Portfolio
	For investors who want long-term growth through equity mutual funds.

Which Credential Select Portfolio Fund is best for you?
Credential Select Portfolio Funds have been developed for investors of all types, so there's a portfolio that's appropriate for you. Your investment professional will ask you a series of questions to determine your investing time horizon, your risk tolerance, and your financial goals.

Your unique investor profile will help identify which Credential Select Portfolio Fund is best suited to you.

Investing Made Even Easier with a PAC Plan

Consider paying yourself first with a Pre-Authorized Contribution or 'PAC' plan. A PAC lets you conveniently and regularly deduct as little as $25 a month (min. $25 per Fund) from your credit union account. Set up a monthly PAC of $100 or more for your RRSP and we'll waive the $25 annual administration fee†.

Contribute either weekly, monthly, every six months, or annually — whatever works for you.

† Applies to PAC plan contributions (equivalent to $1,200 or more/year) in new and existing Credential Select Portfolio Fund client name accounts. Annual administration fee of $25 plus taxes usually applies to RRSP plans with balances below $5,000. Minimum initial investment of $2,500 still applies.

How do I get started?

You can begin investing in a Credential Select Portfolio Fund with as little as $2,500¹. Contact Plainsview Credit Union and ask to speak to a Credential investment professional. They'll work with you to fit the right investment solution to your particular needs. You can rely on friendly, supportive service and knowledgeable expertise and advice. It's that simple.
