Investment Objectives

The Pool seeks to provide a combination of income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a global diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.

Investment Strategy

The Pool will seek to maintain a well-diversified portfolio that the portfolio sub-advisor will attempt to offer protection against various market conditions. Within the equity component of the Pool, the portfolio sub-advisor will allocate capital to what it considers the best global opportunities, which may include companies of any market capitalization size.
