Investment Objectives

To provide long-term capital growth. The fund invests primarily in units of other mutual funds managed by RBC GAM or an affiliate of RBC GAM (called the underlying funds), emphasizing mutual funds that invest in equity securities of companies outside of North America while minimizing the exposure to currency fluctuations between foreign currencies and the Canadian dollar.

Investment Strategy

The fund invests its assets primarily in units of the RBC International Equity Fund, which is sub-advised by RBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited (for the European equity portion of the fund) and RBC Global Asset Management (Asia) Limited (for the Asian equity portion of the fund), or underlying funds managed by RBC GAM or an affiliate of RBC GAM.
