Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation primarily through exposure to investments in equity securities. The fund’s exposure to these securities may be achieved through investments in other mutual funds or directly in individual securities. Fundamental investment objectives may only be changed with the approval of a majority of unitholders at a meeting called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the fund’s investment objectives, the Sub-Advisor implements an integrated investment approach that combines research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading functions. The fund’s design emphasizes long-term drivers of expected returns identified by the Sub-Advisor’s research, while balancing risk through broad diversification across companies and sectors.
