Investment Objectives

The fund’s objective is long-term capital growth. It invests primarily in a broad range of high quality equity securities of large Canadian companies.

Investment Strategy

The Fund emphasizes large, well-established companies that are leaders in their industry. The portfolio adviser invests primarily in publicly traded equity securities of businesses located in Canada. The portfolio adviser attempts to purchase investee businesses at a discount to their intrinsic value. Tax efficiency is an important part of the investment strategy and investments within the Fund tend to be held for the longer term. From time to time investments may be sold to harvest tax losses.
