(January 30 – 10:10 ET) – BLC-Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management Inc. is adding five new growth funds to the R Group family of funds.

The five funds include two new European funds, and their respective 100% RSP eligible versions, and a domestic equity fund. The European funds are advised by La Compagnie Financière Edmond de Rothschild Banque based in Paris, while the Canadian fund is managed in-house in Montreal.

The R Small & Mid-Cap European Fund provides investors with an opportunity to take advantage of small and mid-cap European growth companies. The firm says these high-growth stocks tend to respond to their local economy rather than their global industry, thus providing added diversification for investors.

The R Europe Techno-Media Fund is focused on technology, media, telecommunications sectors, and gives investors access to Europe’s digital revolution, world leading wireless, and specialized semi-conductor companies.

The R Canadian Leaders Fund is a focused portfolio of approximately 30 of Canada’s strongest performing companies, with the brightest prospects for long-term growth.

“These new funds provide unique, and innovative diversification opportunities for Canadians’ investment portfolios,” stated André Bolduc, president and CEO of BLC-Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management Inc. “In addition to our existing R Funds, investors have even greater access to our global and domestic management expertise.”
