Investment Objectives

The objective of this Fund is to provide regular income and long-term capital appreciation while remaining vigilant to the risk of capital loss during periods of market stress. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of equity securities, equity-related securities and fixed-income securities of issuers located throughout the world, including emerging markets.

Investment Strategy

The Fund's target asset allocation is 40% fixed-income securities and 60% equity securities. The sub-manager may change the Fund's exposure to fixed-income and equity securities by up to ± 20% of the target allocation in order to adapt the Fund's portfolio to market and income conditions.
