Investment Objectives

The primary investment objective of the US Equity Alpha Corporate Class is to provide capital growth through investments primarily in equity and equity-related securities of US companies that the portfolio advisor believes represent good value and have the potential for positive total return. Equity-related securities include convertible preferred shares, convertible debt obligations and warrants.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the fund may hold directly the equity and equity-related securities of US companies or securities of a mutual fund that holds such equity and equity-related securities (an “underlying fund”). The US Equity Alpha Corporate Class uses a fundamental research-driven investment process to build a high-conviction portfolio of U.S. equities that the portfolio adviser believes offer sustainable growth prospects at a reasonable valuation.
