Pro-Hedge Funds Inc. is introducing another series of notes that feature a 100% principal guarantee at maturity through Société Générale. The 100% principal guarantee matures in nine years.

The performance of the Pro-Hedge Principal Protected Notes Series II is linked to the Pro-Hedge Series II Portfolio comprised of the Ontario Partners Global Fund (50%); the Sprott Canadian Equity Fund (20%); Lyxor Preservation Capital Fund (J.C. Clarke – 15%) and Lyxor Managed Accounts (15%).

The Pro-Hedge Series II Portfolio has produced a five-year annualized rate of return of 20.06% with less than half the volatility of the S&P 500.

“This product sustains our record of delivering innovative alternative investment options to the marketplace — all focused on capital preservation yet providing consistent long-term returns that are the trademark of our world class portfolio management team,” said Stuart McKinnon, CEO, Pro-Hedge Funds Inc., in a news release.

The minimum investment for the notes is $2,500. The notes qualify as 100% Canadian content for RSPs. Purchases made outside registered retirement savings plans compound tax-free.

“This is a broadly diversified investment opportunity available until December 15 that we feel will experience the same exceptional level of market acceptance as our Series I product that brought in more than $40 million,” McKinnon said.
