Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve capital growth over the long-term, while being sufficiently diversified to mitigate volatility. The Fund will invest primarily in Canadian and US securities but may also invest in foreign securities. The Fund will focus on businesses that have the potential for growth over the long term and have securities that trade at favourable prices.

Investment Strategy

The Manager will examine each potential investment for success in light of current economic and market conditions, its industry position, its current financial position, its growth potential, earnings estimates and the quality of its management. The Fund will invest primarily in small and mid-cap companies in North America.
