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

The portfolio advisor utilizes a fundamental, bottom-up investment approach to select securities. Proprietary analysis is used to construct and analyze the historical economic earnings of a company in order to gain an understanding of the business being studied. Factors such as the magnitude and volatility of a company’s earnings, competitive advantages, products and other performance drivers are also considered in selecting securities for the Fund.
