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 by investing principally in dividend-paying common and preferred shares of Canadian issuers listed on recognized stock exchanges. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

This Fund invests primarily in shares of Canadian companies using one or more of the following styles: market-oriented, quality, value, small-capitalization and growth. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in foreign equity securities. 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.
