Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in Canadian equity securities. The Fund may seek to accomplish its objective by investing in securities of other mutual funds. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.

Investment Strategy
