Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the fund is to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of North American resource equity and income securities, including dividend paying or distribution paying North American resource equity and income securities such as common shares, income trust units, convertible bonds, and, to a lesser extent, interestbearing securities such as corporate bonds.

Investment Strategy

The Fund’s investment strategy entails initially investing in shares of resource issuers engaged in oil and gas or mining exploration, development or production or energy production, including alternative energy production, and that have experienced management; have a strong exploration program in place; may require time to mature; and offer potential for future growth.
