Investment Objectives

VPI Global 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 in equity securities issued primarily by non-Canadian companies.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio Manager’s investment philosophy is based on the preservation of capital and long term growth. The Portfolio Manager attempts to achieve this by purchasing equity securities of high quality businesses that are trading at a substantial discount to intrinsic value and where there is an expectation of significant profit and dividend growth.
