Investment Objectives

This portfolio is a strategic asset allocation fund. It focuses on providing income and the potential for modest capital growth. It does this by investing primarily in units of other funds managed by RBC GAM or an affiliate of RBC GAM (called the underlying funds), emphasizing mutual funds that invest in fixed-income securities, with some exposure to mutual funds that invest in equity securities. The portfolio invests in a mix of Canadian, U.S. and international funds.

Investment Strategy

The underlying funds are managed by RBC GAM or an affiliate of RBC GAM. The portfolio manager uses strategic asset allocation as the principal investment strategy.
