Investment Objectives

The objective of this Portfolio is to provide unitholders with a high income return and some long-term capital appreciation. Consequently, the Portfolio invests mainly in the units of mutual funds which themselves invest in equity and fixed-income securities throughout the world. This Portfolio might also hold exchange-traded funds as well as individual equity and fixed-income securities.

Investment Strategy

To reach this investment objective, the portfolio manager will allocate the Portfolio’s assets among fixed-income securities in a proportion varying between 65% and 85% of the net assets, and among equity securities in a proportion varying from 15% to 35% of the net assets. The Portfolio holds these securities directly or through the intermediary of other mutual funds (the “underlying funds”), including those managed by the Manager, as well as exchange-traded funds.
