Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to generate long-term growth in value and income by investing in a diversified portfolio of Canadian and foreign equities, corporate bonds, Canadian and foreign government bonds, and exchange traded funds which track sector or broad market indices. It is designed to provide both moderate income and portfolio growth over the long-term, while being sufficiently diversified to mitigate volatility.

Investment Strategy

Asset Allocation - The Manager intends to maintain a targeted allocation of 20% to 80% in Canadian and foreign equities, with the balance being in fixed income and cash. The Fund invests in Canadian and foreign securities; up to 100% of the Fund may be invested in foreign securities. As part of its asset allocation process, the Manager may invest in Underlying Funds that are aligned with the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies.
