The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers outside Canada and the U.S. while following a sustainable investment approach.

Investment Strategy

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in equity securities of issuers in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in China A-securities directly through Stock Connect. In selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, the sub-advisor seeks to identify equity securities that offer above-average growth potential and trade at a significant discount to the sub-advisor’s assessment of their intrinsic value.
