Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth with some income, primarily through exposure to Canadian and foreign equity securities and, to a lesser extent, exposure to fixed income investments using multiple factors to select investments. The Fund may invest in other mutual funds. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the Fund currently invests primarily in Underlying Funds. 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, small-capitalization, interest rate management, sector selection, security selection, global management and currency management.
