Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objectives of the Fund are to provide long-term capital growth and income by investing primarily in a well-diversified, balanced portfolio of common stocks, bonds and money market securities from anywhere around the world.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the Fund’s investment objectives, we invest a significant portion or even all of the net asset value of the Fund in other funds managed by RBC GAM. We will only invest in units of other funds where the investment is consistent with the investment objectives and strategies of the Fund and otherwise complies with applicable securities laws. For example, as at June 26, 2023, we intend to invest approximately 100% of the Fund’s net asset value in units of other funds managed by RBC GAM.
