Investment Objectives

The fund seeks to provide shareholders with (i) consistent long-term capital appreciation with an attractive risk-adjusted rate of return investing in a portfolio of international listed equities; and (ii) provide less volatility and low correlation to international equity markets by hedging the fund’s exposure to overall market risk.

Investment Strategy

The fund will use a multi-factor, fundamental rules-based portfolio selection strategy to select long portfolio securities from a universe of listed equities of international issuers excluding the United States and Canada. The selection strategy will emphasize factors that have shown to be effective at differentiating between strong and weak performing stocks including: fundamental change, valuation, growth and quality.
