Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to provide long-term tax-managed growth. Using one or more portfolio sub-advisors, the Fund invests directly in high quality small-, mid- and large-cap Canadian, U.S. and international equities. A portion of the Fund's assets are also invested in exchange traded funds (ETFs) which provide exposure to the bond market and the large-cap Canadian equity market.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio sub-advisor seeks to maximize pre-tax returns through a strategy that involves investing in wealth-creating companies at a discount to their intrinsic value while reducing taxes through the application of tax-efficient trading strategies and portfolio construction techniques.
