Investment Objectives

To provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in U.S. mid-capitalized equity investments and common stock equivalents while minimizing the exposure to currency fluctuations between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. The fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-cap companies in order to provide broad exposure to economic growth opportunities in the U.S. market. The fund will also use derivatives to hedge against fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the C$.

Investment Strategy

The fund’s investment process is primarily based on fundamental research, although the portfolio manager will also consider quantitative and technical factors. Stock selection decisions are ultimately based on an understanding of the company, its business and its outlook. The fund employs investment strategies similar to those of the RBC U.S. Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund, but also employs strategies to minimize the effect on the fund of currency fluctuations between the U.S. and Canadian dollars.
