We have one goal:

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*.
