Investment Objectives

The primary objective of the Fund is to seek to preserve the value of the Fund’s investments and provide long-term capital appreciation with reduced portfolio volatility, by investing directly and indirectly primarily in global equity securities of high quality companies.

Investment Strategy

We primarily use a fundamental bottom-up approach to security analysis. The Fund maintains a global equity focus and invests primarily in securities of mid-to large-size companies that have a track record of sustained earnings growth. The Fund also invests in sector and market ETFs. The Fund seeks to manage the downside risks of the equity securities in which the Fund invests through the use of derivatives including, without limitation, buying or selling a combination of put and/or call options.
