Investment Objectives

The objective of this Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s portfolio consists primarily of equity securities of companies in the United States. Any modification of the fundamental investment objective must be approved by the unitholders by a majority vote at a meeting called for this purpose.

Investment Strategy

The management of equity securities is assigned to a sub-manager who favours a bottom-up investment strategy that is based on a disciplined valuation of the quality and valorization of companies. It invests mainly in large capitalization corporations that are leaders in their market and whose securities are interestingly priced or temporarily out of favour, mainly on the American market.
