Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in equity securities of Canadian issuers listed on recognized stock exchanges. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

This Fund invests primarily in shares of Canadian companies, using the following styles: market-oriented, value, small-capitalization, quality and growth. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in foreign equity securities. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge against changes in the value of the Fund’s investments caused by changes to the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and other currencies.
