Investment Objectives

The fund’s objective is to provide long-term capital growth. It invests primarily in a mix of mutual funds managed by us and/or other mutual fund managers that invest in Canadian equity securities, and/or directly in Canadian equity securities. Any change to the fundamental investment objectives must be approved by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of securityholders called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in underlying funds that invest in Canadian equity securities and may also invest in a wide variety of Canadian equity securities. Where the Fund invests in underlying funds, the weightings of those underlying funds may be rebalanced periodically, at the discretion of the Manager, so as to allow the Manager to use an investment approach that manages risk and increases potential return to the Fund.
