Investment Objectives

Dynamic Financial Services Fund seeks to maximize return over the long-term in a manner consistent with the preservation of capital through investments primarily in Canadian companies that are involved in the financial services and wealth management sectors. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objective of the Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required. This approval must be given by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of unitholders

The Fund emphasizes investments in shares of Canadian and select international companies that are involved in the financial services and wealth management industries, including banks, asset managers and insurance companies. The Fund seeks to maximize long-term returns by investing in quality companies with strong earnings growth prospects at attractive valuations. In-depth fundamental analysis, based on specialized industry knowledge, is performed to identify appropriate investment opportunities
