Gordon Pape selects 3 National Bank Funds for his "25 Low-Risk Funds" guide
SPECIAL RELEASE
Montreal, April 15, 2009 – In his special report “25 Low-Risk Funds to Own in 2009”, Gordon Pape, a Canadian mutual funds expert, recommends three National Bank Funds managed by Natcan:
- the Altamira T-Bill Fund
- the National Bank Mortgage Fund
- the National Bank Monthly Secure Income Fund
Mr. Pape’s comments about the Monthly Secure Income Fund are very favourable: “This fund does not have the three-year track record we normally require for inclusion in these reports but it is so well-suited to the current investment climate that we have added it to our Online Buyer's Guide to Mutual Funds and are recommending it for 2009.”
“We are very proud to be recognized for our excellent performance,” said Pascal Duquette, President of Natcan Investment Management. “Given current economic and market conditions, these three endorsements underscore the work of our portfolio management professionals and strengthen our conviction of the importance of focusing on long-term quality rather than following market trends.”
