Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to seek to preserve the value of your investment and provide potential for growth while seeking to reduce portfolio volatility by investing primarily, directly or indirectly, in global equities and fixed income securities.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objectives: employs a strategic asset allocation strategy and may dynamically shift the fund’s exposure across asset classes and markets; employs investment strategies that seek to reduce portfolio risk levels. These strategies seek to reduce exposure to market declines, while recognizing that the fund may not fully benefit from strong market growth.
