Investment Objectives

IPC Conservative Income Portfolio seeks to provide regular income with the potential for long-term capital growth. The Fund will invest either directly, or through securities of other mutual funds, primarily in Canadian, U.S. and international fixed-income securities and equity and equity-like securities that are expected to produce income.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests up to 100% of its assets in securities of other mutual funds using a strategic asset allocation as its principal investment strategy. The Fund’s asset class weightings will generally be 20%-40% in equity securities and 60%-80% in fixed income securities. The Fund invests in Underlying Funds which may apply various tactical asset allocation strategies that may shift the Fund’s asset-class weightings.
