We have one goal:
To create products designed to help plan sponsors deliver a better retirement for plan members.
We achieve this goal by:
- Constructing multi-manager solutions comprised of the managers we believe are best in each category.
- 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*.
