Investment solutions

We have one goal

And that's to create products designed to help plan sponsors deliver a better retirement for plan members. We achieve this goal by:

  1. Constructing multi-manager solutions comprised of the managers we believe are best in each category.
  2. Identifying world-class sub-advisors and making their stand-alone funds available to your plan members.

The investment solutions sub-advised by Sun Life Global Investments are available as segregated funds exclusively through Sun Life Group Retirement Services*.

Multi-manager solutions

The Sun Life Global Investments portfolio managers are exclusively focused on manager selection and building managed solutions for Canadians – 100% of their time. Your plan members can benefit from their expertise in a wide variety of solutions, including our flagship Granite family, multi-strategy funds and Milestone funds.

Granite Solutions
