Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital growth and income by investing primarily in equity securities of global small-cap companies and government and corporate debt securities from developed and emerging markets. The Fund may also invest in U.S. government and agency securities, high yield bonds and preferred shares and other types of debt securities. The Fund may seek to accomplish its objective by investing in securities of other mutual funds.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will normally invest between 65–85% of its assets in equity securities and the balance in fixed income or money market securities. The equity component of the Fund, to be invested by the portfolio sub-advisor, will be invested primarily in small-cap companies from around the world.
