Investment Objectives
The objective of this Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. To achieve this, it invests primarily in the units of mutual funds which, in turn, invest primarily in equity and equity-related securities of companies located in the United States. The Fund also aims to keep exposure to exchange rate fluctuations of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar at a minimum by implementing an exchange rate hedging strategy in respect of the mutual fund units that it holds.
Investment Strategy
The Fund will invest in units of American equity funds managed by the Manager that are consistent with the investment objective of the Fund. The decision to invest in an underlying fund is based on the portfolio manager’s assessment of the market outlook and the underlying fund’s ability to help the Fund meet its investment objective. Currently, the Fund invests primarily in the units of the Desjardins American Equity Growth Fund (the “Underlying Fund”).
