Investment Objectives

The Portfolio’s investment objective is to achieve a current income and some capital appreciation over the medium-term by investing primarily in a diverse mix of fixed-income and equity mutual funds.

Investment Strategy

The target weighting for each asset class in which the Portfolio invests under normal market conditions is the following: 70%-90% of net assets in Canadian and global fixed-income securities, 10%-30% of net assets in Canadian and global equity securities. The Portfolio Manager may, at its sole discretion, review and adjust the target weighting of each asset class depending on economic and market conditions.
