Investment Objectives

The Fund’s objective is to provide long-term capital growth and income with moderate risk. The Fund uses an asset allocation approach. It invests primarily in a diversified mix of funds and ETFs that provide exposure to global equity and fixed-income securities.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager uses a top-down approach to asset allocation and sector selection and a bottom-up approach to stock selection. Managing risk is the most important factor of the decision-making process. Asset allocation starts with a macro review of the domestic and global economies. The portfolio manager then determines the risk and return potential of each asset class and the weightings of each asset class in the Fund.
