Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth by investing principally in equity securities of issuers outside of Canada and the United States using multiple factors to select investments. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

This Fund uses research driven analysis that seeks to isolate and assess a diversified set of factors, each of which is intended to identify suitable investments for the Fund. The Fund uses the following styles: value, momentum, quality, low volatility, growth and small-capitalization. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge against changes in the value of the Fund’s investments caused by changes to the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and other currencies.
