Investment Objectives

The Fund will pursue long-term capital growth primarily from investment in shares of companies operating anywhere in the world in the energy and natural resource industries. At least three different countries will usually be represented in the Fund’s overall portfolio holdings. Any proposed change to the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the Fund’s investors called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The investment approach follows various strategies including: investing in companies expected to increase shareholder value through successful exploration and development; seeking out leading companies that typically have lower costs, lower debt and/or outstanding assets; taking advantage of commodity prices and emphasizing natural resource sectors and/or individual companies which are out of favour but offer recovery potential over a 1 to 3-year period.
