Investment Objectives

To provide a balanced portfolio of primarily Canadian securities that produce income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in Canadian money market instruments, debt securities, and common and preferred shares. We will not change the Fund’s fundamental investment objectives without the consent of unitholders by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of unitholders.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its investment objectives, the Fund: invests in a combination of equity securities and fixed income securities issued by governments and corporations; uses a bottom-up, fundamental approach to primarily invest in equity securities of high-quality companies that are attractively valued from a discount to intrinsic value perspective; may shift the asset allocation based on the Portfolio Advisor’s economic and market outlook.
