Investment Objectives

The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing directly in a diversified portfolio primarily consisting of Canadian and/or global fixed income and/or equity securities. The Fund may also indirectly invest in such securities through investments in other investment funds.

Investment Strategy

The tactical asset allocation decisions are made by the portfolio advisor taking into consideration a broad range of fundamental, market and economic variables as well as available yields from securities markets globally.
