The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to obtain capital appreciation, preservation and dividend income. The Fund will invest in a diversified portfolio, of which the equity portion will be comprised of mainly Canadian and U.S. equity securities. A portion of the Fund’s assets may also be held in securities outside of North America.

Investment Strategy
