The primary objective of the Fund is to provide a balanced portfolio that emphasizes growth of capital, with some level of income generation, through diversified investments in Canadian and foreign equity or equity-related securities and in fixed-income securities, either long-term or short-term. The investment objectives of the Fund can only be changed with the approval of a majority of the Unitholders at a meeting called for such purpose.
The Fund invests in securities of other investment funds managed by us, and may also invest in other securities, including ETFs, to achieve its objectives. We use strategic and tactical asset allocation to create a portfolio diversified by investment style, asset class and geographic region, with an emphasis on growth of capital. The portfolio generally includes exposure to Canadian equities, global equities, investment grade fixed-income securities and high yield bonds.
