Investment Objectives

The DynamicEdge Defensive Portfolio seeks to achieve income and some long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income and some equity mutual funds. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objectives of this Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required. This approval must be given by a resolution passed by at least a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of unitholders

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio employs a multi-strategy investment approach where the portfolio advisor considers each underlying fund’s investment objectives and strategies, past and assumed forward-looking performance, volatility, geographic exposure, investment style, among other factors, in order to construct a diversified Portfolio and achieve its investment objectives.
