The primary objective of the Fund is the achievement of a balance between long-term growth of capital and reasonable income through diversified investments in equity or equity-related securities and in fixed-income securities, either long-term or short-term.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests in securities of other investment funds managed by us, and may also invest in other securities, including ETFs, to achieve its objectives. We use strategic and tactical asset allocation to create a portfolio diversified by investment style, asset class and geographic region, with an emphasis on growth of capital. The portfolio generally includes exposure to Canadian equities, developed market global equities and investment grade fixed-income securities.
