Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve above-average long-term capital growth that is consistent with a conservative investment philosophy encompassing a diversified portfolio approach. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of Canadian companies that demonstrate financial strength and good growth potential.

Investment Strategy

Techniques such as fundamental analysis may be used to assess growth and value potential, with attention paid to both upside potential and downside risk. This means evaluating the financial condition and management of each company, its industry and the overall economy. As part of this evaluation, the Portfolio Manager may: analyze financial data and other information sources; assess the quality of management; and conduct company interviews, where possible.
