Investment Objectives

VPI Canadian Equity Pool’s objective is to generate longer term growth in value through the increase in the value of its holdings, and through the receipt and reinvestment of dividend income from its holdings. It invests primarily in equity securities of Canadian companies.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio Manager’s investment philosophy is based on long term growth. The Portfolio Manager attempts to achieve this by purchasing equity securities of high quality businesses that pay dividends and where there is an expectation of significant profit and dividend growth. Investments are primarily considered in companies that have a long history of operation and are in stable businesses that the Portfolio Manager can analyze and understand with a high degree of certainty.
