Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return and additional diversification for Canadian investors by investing principally in equity securities issued by non-Canadian and non-U.S. companies listed on recognized stock exchanges, and fixed income securities issued by non-Canadian and non-U.S. governments and companies. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests mainly in the major countries included in an appropriate index for ex-North America equity securities, but may also invest in other countries, including emerging markets. This Fund uses the following investment styles: market-oriented, value, quality, small capitalization and growth. 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.
