Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the fund is to seek capital appreciation through investment in equity securities of companies whose product, service or management team the portfolio manager believes can realize value and growth. The portfolio manager may rely on “top down” fundamental research to identify equity securities of companies in a particular industry or sector, but portfolio diversification will be driven primarily from the fund’s investments, as opposed to targeting sector weights.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager will employ alternative investment strategies, including event-related special situations investing (including, for instance, investment in securities of issuers undergoing or undertaking tenders, mergers and acquisitions, liquidations, spin-offs and recapitalizations) and the purchase of undervalued shares in the equity markets. The fund may invest in foreign securities up to a maximum of 40% of the total cost of the fund’s property.
