Investment Objectives

Dynamic Blue Chip Balanced Fund seeks to maximize returns and provide long-term growth of capital consistent with preserving capital and providing income by investing primarily in a full range of equity and fixed income securities. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objective of the Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required. This approval must be given by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of unitholders.

Investment Strategy

The total return of this Fund is derived through a combination of investments in income producing securities and growth oriented investments. The Fund generally follows a focused investment approach emphasizing a concentrated portfolio of 20 to 30 different businesses that meet required objectives. The portfolio advisor attempts to purchase investee businesses at a discount to their intrinsic value.
