Connor, Clark & Lunn Investment Management has launched three investment strategies for Canadian institutional investors.

The CC&L Canadian Q 120/20 and CC&L North American Q 130/30 are managed using quantitative investment strategies, while the CC&L Canadian GARP 120/20 strategy uses the growth-at-a-reasonable-price approach.

Offered to investors through institutional pooled funds, the objective of each portfolio is to outperform the S&P/TSX Composite by 3% annually over a full market cycle.

The 120/20 portfolios will combine long positions of 120% of the original investment amount with 20% in short positions, while the 130/30 portfolio will consist of 130% in long positions with 30% being sold short.

Each portfolio will be broadly diversified and maintain a net-effective market exposure of 100%.
