Investment Objectives

The Fund invests in a concentrated portfolio of well-managed businesses, with strong competitive positions, which are overlooked by the market and have the potential for significant capital appreciation. These businesses may be in Canada, the United States or in other foreign jurisdictions with a primary emphasis on companies with a small market capitalization.

Investment Strategy

The Manager will examine each potential investment for success in light of current economic and market conditions, its industry position, its current financial position, its growth potential, earnings estimates and the quality of its management. The Manager will focus on small and medium-sized businesses that have the potential for growth over the long term and whose shares trade at prices reflecting favourable valuations at a discount to their intrinsic value.
