Investment Objectives

> To provide a combination of capital growth and modest income. The fund invests primarily in a balance of Canadian equities, bonds and short-term debt securities. The fund may also invest in foreign securities. We will not change the fundamental investment objectives of the fund unless we have the consent of a majority of the voting unitholders of the fund to do so.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the fund’s objectives, the portfolio manager: invests in equity, fixed-income and cash securities; employs a strategic asset allocation approach, determining the appropriate asset mix within broad pre-established guidelines for each asset class as follows: Fixed income 40%, Canadian equities 34%, U.S. equities 13%, International equities 9%, Emerging markets equities 4%.
