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
