Investment Objectives

To provide long-term capital growth by investing in equity securities of companies around the world in any or all of the Energy, Materials, Industrials, and Utilities sectors. The fund will invest in companies that are involved directly or indirectly in the exploration, development, production or distribution of natural or other resources.

Investment Strategy

The fund’s investment process is primarily based on fundamental research, although the portfolio manager will also consider quantitative and technical factors. Stock selection decisions are ultimately based on an understanding of the company, its business and its outlook. The portfolio manager is supported by its Global Sector Team, which comprises a team of portfolio managers and research analysts focusing on the global investment environment.
