Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide a high after-tax return, which includes dividend income and capital gains from growth in the value of your investment. As part of its investment objective, the fund invests primarily in dividend-yielding common and preferred shares of established Canadian companies.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests primarily in dividend yielding common and preferred shares of established Canadian companies; may also invest in fixed income securities; examines the financial statistics of each company it’s considering to determine if the equity securities are attractively priced; reviews company operations and research and development to assess each company’s potential for growth.
