Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to provide long-term growth through capital appreciation and dividends by investing primarily in a portfolio of Canadian equities and equity-related securities with large market capitalization, principally selected from the universe of stocks generally considered to be the largest Canadian companies based on market capitalization from time to time.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: will invest primarily in Canadian equity securities generally considered to be of large capitalization; will employ a systematic model based on fundamental equity analysis methodologies to identify and select equities that trade below their intrinsic value, demonstrate superior earnings growth, and demonstrate positive price momentum.
