Investment Objectives

The Fund’s objective is to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies anywhere in the world. The investment objective of the Fund can only be changed with the approval of a majority of the Unitholders at a meeting called for such purpose.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of small, medium and large companies. The Fund is not constrained by geographic or sector considerations and could be substantially exposed to equity securities of issuers not in developed markets. It may invest in debt securities convertible into common stock, fixed income securities of governments, government agencies, supranational agencies, companies, trusts, limited partnerships and other mutual funds (including ETFs).
