Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to achieve long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in equity securities of mid to large capitalization companies located outside of Canada and the United States that have long-term growth potential or that pay or are expected to pay above-average dividends.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests in equities of established companies trading at a discount to their long-term value, which trade on recognized exchanges in countries around the world excluding North America; employs a value-driven, absolute return approach. At the stock level, the portfolio manager identifies companies that it believes are fairly valued or undervalued in relation to their potential long-term earnings growth.
