The Fund aims to achieve capital appreciation over the longer term by seeking to invest primarily in the equity securities of faster growing, small-cap Canadian companies. Unitholder approval (by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of unitholders) is required prior to a fundamental change of investment objectives.
The Portfolio Sub-Advisor uses a bottom up investing approach to achieve long-term growth of capital through investment in Canadian corporations or Canadian listed corporations. The Portfolio Sub-Advisor generally seeks to identify small or mid-capitalization companies with sustainable competitive advantages, strong balance sheets, high quality management teams, and then tries to acquire these companies at reasonable valuations.
