Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks to provide long-term total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian equity, fixed income and money market securities. The equity portion of the Fund will primarily be invested in a portfolio of Canadian securities. A smaller portion of the equity portfolio may be invested in U.S. and/or international equity securities. The fixed income portion of the Fund will primarily be invested in a diversified portfolio of fixed income and money market securities.

Investment Strategy

Asset allocation decisions are based on the judgment and discretion of the portfolio advisor. In considering asset allocation decisions, the portfolio advisor will consider the overall market environment and the relative attractiveness of each asset class. For the equity portion of the Fund, the portfolio advisor utilizes a fundamental, bottom-up investment approach to select securities.
