Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide long-term capital growth and current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of exchange traded funds that invest in income-producing securities. The fund’s asset mix may be changed over time to reflect the portfolio manager’s outlook for each asset class.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests up to 100% of the fund’s assets in securities of underlying funds, including funds that are managed by us or one of our affiliates or associates and non-affiliated funds; invests primarily in exchange traded funds; considers asset class and sector investments based on fundamentals and the economic and markets outlook; uses technical indicators when implementing portfolio rebalances.
