Investment Objectives

The Fund invests mainly in Canadian equity securities issued by Canadian corporations to achieve long-term capital growth and provide a reasonable rate of return. Any proposed change to the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the Fund’s investors called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The investment approach follows a company-focused investment style, seeking companies with strong management, good growth prospects and a solid financial position. Emphasis is placed on paying reasonable prices for the free cash flow growth that companies in the portfolio are expected to achieve. Generally, the Fund will not invest more than 49% of its assets in foreign securities.
