Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to achieve income, notably in the form of dividends, as well as long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity and equity-related securities of companies located anywhere in the world, including emerging markets.

Investment Strategy

Management of global securities is assigned to a sub-manager who combines a bottom-up approach for selecting securities with a top-down approach for evaluating countries and currencies. Added value comes mainly from the selection of securities. A robust evaluation of the fundamental value of the companies is conducted in order to identify good quality defensive securities that are undervalued on the markets.
