Investment Objectives
The fundamental investment objective of the fund is to achieve long-term capital growth. The fund invests primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization companies and may invest in or hold medium-capitalization companies from time to time. The fundamental investment objective of the fund may only be changed with the approval of a majority of unitholders at a meeting called for that purpose.
Investment Strategy
The Portfolio Adviser seeks to achieve the fundamental investment objectives of the fund by investing primarily in small-capitalization companies (but may, from time to time invest in or hold medium capitalization companies) that: have an enduring, sustainable competitive advantage; have a management team with a record of success; have a strong record of economic earnings; have a clean balance sheet; and have good long-term growth prospects.
