Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide a competitive total rate of return, comprised of capital gains and income from interest and dividends, while maintaining a lower level of volatility than pure equity funds by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of both Canadian and foreign equity and fixed income securities with no restrictions on the capitalization of the issuers.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests the fund’s assets in a balance of equity and fixed income securities; typically maintains the fund’s asset allocation of 60% equities and 40% Canadian fixed income securities although the allocation will vary over time; uses a disciplined, fundamental bottom-up approach to security selection; invests in a highly concentrated portfolio of global equity securities.
