Expanded suite designed to support the savings goals and retirement readiness of Canadian employees
TORONTO, May 4, 2026 /CNW/ – Today, SLGI Asset Management Inc. (“Sun Life Global Investments”) announced the expansion of its Granite solutions with Sun Life Granite Index+ Target Date Funds (Granite Index+). As the largest Canadian-based target date fund manager,1 Sun Life Global Investments is responding to the growing demand for more differentiated target date funds that support long‑term retirement outcomes for Canadian plan members.
Sun Life Granite Target Date Funds, a flagship retirement solution for more than 15 years, were built for Canadian employers who want a highly diversified solution and believe active management adds value over time. As Canadians’ financial needs have evolved, Granite Index+ was introduced to offer another choice: a simpler, predominantly passive option that still provides broad diversification and access to private markets, at a competitive fee. Together, the Granite lineup gives employers more flexibility to choose a default solution that fits their plan’s goals, governance model and fee budgets.
