Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to generate a high level of income and some capital appreciation by investing primarily in securities of Canadian and foreign funds within the BMO Mutual Funds family of mutual funds.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: employs a strategic asset allocation strategy; the fund’s asset class weightings will be approximately 60% in fixed income securities and 40% 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.
