Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to provide a long-term growth of capital through investment in a portfolio of equity securities of publicly-traded companies from around the world with significant growth potential. As part of its investment objectives, the fund invests primarily in equities of companies that trade on recognized exchanges in countries around the world.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests in global equity securities; employs fundamental analysis to identify and select equities that trade below their intrinsic value and demonstrate superior earnings growth; reviews company operations, the quality of management and research and development practices to assess the company’s potential for growth.
