Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in a balanced portfolio of global equity and fixed income securities using a responsible investment approach.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: the fund’s assets are allocated between equities and fixed income securities; within the fixed income allocation, the fund focusses primarily on security, sector, credit and yield curve analysis in making an investment decision, and may include both investment grade and/or below-investment grade fixed income securities.
