The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of securities of small capitalization foreign and Canadian companies. Any modification of the fundamental investment objective must be approved by the unitholders by a majority vote at a meeting called for this purpose.
The management of the Fund is assigned to a sub-manager, who follows a multidisciplinary investment process for selecting securities. A macroeconomic assessment is used in conjunction with a quantitative model which looks at factors such as fair value, earnings quality, risks and transaction costs to narrow the investment universe.
