Investment Objectives
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity and equity-related securities of companies located mainly outside of Canada and the United States. The Fund follows a responsible approach to investing, as described on pages 77 to 82 of this prospectus. Unitholder approval (by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of unitholders) is required prior to a fundamental change of investment objectives.
Investment Strategy
Uses quantitative stock selection models based on established investment factors (e.g., value, momentum, quality) and additional financial data. Incorporates alternative data sources (e.g., credit card transactions, satellite imagery, social media sentiment, website traffic) to identify trends. Refines and validates models regularly and supplements them with fundamental analysis (earnings reviews, analyst notes).
