The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth, and to a lesser extent preservation of capital, through exposure to foreign and Canadian equity securities and foreign and Canadian fixed income securities and money market securities. To achieve its objective, the Fund will invest in underlying mutual funds, which may be managed by NEI Investments. The Fund follows a responsible approach to investing, as described on pages 74 to 79 of this prospectus.
The Portfolio Manager uses strategic asset allocation as the principal investment strategy. The Portfolio Manager selects the underlying funds based on their expected return, volatility and correlation while accounting for investment styles and other qualitative factors. The Portfolio Manager may, in its sole discretion, modify the asset mix, change percentage holdings of any underlying fund, remove any underlying fund or add additional underlying funds.
