Investment Objectives

The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation with low volatility by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers outside Canada and the United States or indirectly by investing in mutual funds (including exchange-traded funds) that primarily invest in such securities.

Investment Strategy

In pursuing the Fund’s investment objectives, the sub-advisor: seeks to outperform the Fund's benchmark (the MSCI EAFE Index C$) over the long-term at less volatility; maintains diversification amongst sectors, geographic regions, industry and stock levels; primarily investing in common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into stocks, equity interests in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and depositary receipts for such securities.
