Investment Objectives

To achieve a balance between long-term capital appreciation and income by investing primarily in Canadian, and to a lesser extent, foreign equity and fixed-income securities and/or in units of mutual funds which themselves invest primarily in Canadian or foreign equity and fixed-income securities.

Investment Strategy
