Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks capital growth over the longer term by investing primarily in a broad range of global equity securities. The Fund primarily invests in developed markets but from time to time may invest in emerging markets. Any proposed change to the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund must be approved by a majority of 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 growth that companies in the portfolio are expected to achieve. The Fund may hold cash and/or short-term debt securities in anticipation of, or in response to, unfavourable market conditions, and/or for liquidity purposes.
