The fundamental investment objective of the fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the stocks of non-Canadian and non-U.S. companies. The fundamental investment objective may only be changed with the approval of a majority of unitholders at a meeting called for that purpose. However, we may change the fund’s investment strategies described below, at our discretion.
