An important message about the safety of your investments
By choosing a Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan you continue to safely invest in your child's future. Congratulations for that investment decision! Given the current events in the financial market, I feel it is important to provide you with some perspective. I am taking this opportunity to touch base with you, to both give you some insight and to address any concerns you might have about your Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan(s).
Although global economic conditions are currently distressed, and the daily market news is unsettling, it serves to remind us that volatility is a reality in the marketplace. The Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan investment portfolios are managed over a long-term investment horizon of up to 18 years, with the goal of ensuring that your money is there when your child is ready to move on to post-secondary education.
With the recent turmoil in the financial markets, it is important to remind ourselves that the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation maintains a conservative discipline in its investment approach. Our investment policy is to manage the risk to your child's portfolio by investing in fixed income asset classes and principal protected securities, which have historically produced positive and steady rates of return, avoiding major fluctuations. We work hard to maximize the rates of return your child's portfolio realizes, however always with a close eye on the stability of your investment over the long term.
You can sleep well at night knowing that the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation is staying true to its investment strategy, of which the cornerstone is the protection of your investment in your child's future: their education savings.
I would also like to take this opportunity to genuinely thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Vice President, Operations
