Investment Objectives

This portfolio is a strategic asset allocation fund. It focuses on providing long-term capital growth, with a secondary focus on modest income. It does this by maintaining a balance of investments across several asset classes. The portfolio invests primarily in units of other mutual funds (called the underlying funds), investing in equity mutual funds for higher growth potential and fixed-income mutual funds for diversification and the potential to generate income.

Investment Strategy

The underlying funds are managed by RBC GAM or an affiliate of RBC GAM. Certain of the underlying funds may also be exchange traded funds managed by BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited (BlackRock Canada) or an affiliate of BlackRock Canada. The portfolio manager uses strategic asset allocation as the principal investment strategy.
