Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth with income through approximately equal exposure to equity securities and Canadian fixed income investments. To achieve its objective, the Fund will invest primarily in other mutual funds. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

The Fund currently intends to invest approximately 64% of its assets in fixed income securities and 36% of its assets in equity and real assets securities. To achieve its objective, the Fund invests primarily in Underlying Funds. The decision to invest in an Underlying Fund is based on Russell Investments’ assessment of the market outlook and the Underlying Fund’s ability to help the Fund meet its stated investment objectives.
