The BMO Canadian Income & Growth Fund uses the expertise and insights, both micro (individual stock selection) and macro (how economic trends influence sectors) to generate income. The Fund invests directly or indirectly in Canadian equity and fixed income securities to provide long-term capital growth.
BMO Global Innovators Fund
The Global Equity team believes a new Industrial Revolution is set to commence over the next decade as technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Web 3.0 are commercialized and made profitable.
The BMO Global Innovators Fund uses a global network to identify emerging trends at an early stage and seek the most innovative companies in the world. The fund invests in equity and equity-related securities of global companies involved in the development of innovative products, processes or services.
The two key fundamental tenets of our model have always been sector expertise and being partners with our clients. We are stewards of their capital, which comes with the responsibility to both take that seriously in terms of the investment process, but also our responsiveness—and we truly believe that as a team. If a client needs us, we are there for them.
