Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide income and some long-term capital growth primarily through investments in and exposure to fixed income securities and, to a lesser extent, Canadian and foreign equity securities, either directly or through investments in other mutual funds. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the Fund invests primarily in Underlying Funds. The exposure of the Fund is roughly 65% fixed income and 35% equity and real assets. There is no specific allocation for cash, but the Fund will hold cash for various purposes. Cash held by the Fund may be invested in Russell Investments Canadian Cash Fund and Russell Investments Money Market Pool. The Fund may use derivatives from time to time for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
