Investment Objectives
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of securities of small capitalization foreign and Canadian companies. Any modification of the fundamental investment objective must be approved by the unitholders by a majority vote at a meeting called for this purpose.
