Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term total returns consisting of regular dividend income and modest long-term capital growth primarily through exposure to dividend-paying common and preferred shares of Canadian issuers listed on recognized stock exchanges. The investment objective cannot be changed unless shareholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the Fund invests in Russell Investments Canadian Dividend Pool. The Fund may use derivatives from time to time for hedging and non-hedging purposes. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge against changes in the value of the Fund’s investments caused by changes to the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and other currencies.
