Effective April 1, 2025, the Canadian Investment Funds Standards Committee (“CIFSC”) introduced new fund classifications as follows: 

  • Health Care Equity (Equities 100%)
  • Equity Other (Equities 100%) 
  • 2040 Target Date Portfolio (Equities 50%, Fixed Income 50%)
  • 2045 Target Date Portfolio (Equities 75%, Fixed Income 25%)
  • 2045+ Target Date Portfolio (Equities 75%, Fixed Income 25%)
  • Canadian Core Plus Fixed Income (Fixed Income 100%)
  • Global Core Plus Fixed Income (Fixed Income 100%)

Additionally, the following fund classification will be removed:

  • 2035+ Target Date Portfolio

As a result of these changes, the asset class on several funds was updated on Univeris on April 9, 2025.  Please refer to this document for a list of impacted funds.

Please note the change will potentially trigger a need for a KYP due diligence review. 

Please refer to this press release from the CIFSC for more details.
