Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to preserve the value of your investment and generate income by investing primarily in mutual funds that invest in lower risk asset classes in Canada, the U.S. and internationally, like cash or cash equivalents or fixed income securities, with a lesser exposure to mutual funds invested in equity securities. The fund’s asset mix may be changed over time to reflect the portfolio manager’s long-term outlook for each asset class.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try and achieve the fund’s objective: employs a strategic asset allocation strategy; the fund’s asset class weightings will be approximately 95-100% in fixed income and 0-5% in equity securities; may invest up to 100% of the fund’s assets in securities of underlying funds, with such underlying funds expected to be predominantly or exclusively underlying funds that are managed by us or one of our affiliates or associates.
