Investment Objectives

The portfolio’s objective is to achieve a balance of current income and long term capital appreciation, with a small bias towards capital appreciation. It invests primarily in a diversified mix of equity and income mutual funds managed by us and by other mutual fund managers.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio is an asset allocation fund that allocates your investment between two asset classes: fixed income and equities. The target weighting for each asset class in which the Portfolio invests are: Fixed Income 40%, Equities 60%. The underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests may change from time to time, but in general we will keep the target weighting for each asset class no more than 20% above or below the amounts as set out.
