Investment Objectives

The Fund’s objective is to provide above average, long-term total returns consisting of both income and capital gains by investing primarily in a portfolio of fixed income securities and equities. 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 seeks to provide capital growth while moderating the volatility of equities by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of both equities and bonds. The Fund is seeking to deliver long-term returns that are better than the average of other similar funds offered by other managers over the same time period. To determine this, we will look at the average return of other balanced funds using a commercially-available, widely-used service that provides this information.
