Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation through exposure to primarily equity securities of issuers outside of Canada and the U.S. that are considered to have above-average earnings growth potential compared to other issuers by investing primarily in units of Sun Life MFS International Opportunities Fund or its successor fund (the “underlying Trust Fund”).

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager currently intends to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives by investing all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Fund in the underlying Trust Fund, a mutual fund that is managed by us and sub-advised by MFS Institutional Advisors, Inc. (the “sub-advisor”).
