Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the Steadyhand Founders Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth and income through exposure to a diversified portfolio of primarily Canadian and foreign common stocks, fixed income securities and money market securities.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio Adviser seeks to achieve the fundamental investment objectives of the fund by investing the majority of the fund’s assets in other investment funds (including exchange-traded funds and investment funds managed by Steadyhand), the allocation of which is determined by the Portfolio Adviser. It is expected that the equity portion of the fund will range from 40% to 75% of its total assets, and the fixed income portion will range from 25% to 60% of its total assets.
