Validus Real Yield Protection Strategy (RYPS)
Summary
The Validus Real Yield Protection Strategy is a liquid, scalable investment approach designed to deliver competitive returns in both normal and high inflation environments. It combines Canadian government bonds with a carefully selected basket of commodities that track key drivers of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This blend helps reduce the volatility and large drawdowns often seen in traditional nominal bonds during rising interest rate periods, while still capturing the benefits of inflation protection.
