Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to achieve income and long-term capital growth primarily by investing directly in equity securities that pay a dividend or distribution, or indirectly by investing in mutual funds (including exchange-traded funds) that invest in such securities.

Investment Strategy

The sub-advisor currently intends to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives by investing all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Fund in units of Dynamic Equity Income Fund (the “underlying fund”), a mutual fund that is managed and advised by the sub-advisor.
