Investment Objectives

The objective of this Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

The Fund may also invest in equity and equity-related securities of companies located or operating in emerging markets.

Investment Strategy

The management of the Fund’s assets is assigned to a sub-manager whose investment approach involves a bottom-up, stock driven approach to country and sector allocation. The sub-manager favours a growth management style with a focus on companies that can sustain above-average growth in earnings and cash flows and whose securities are traded at a reasonable price.
