Investment Objectives

The fund seeks to outperform the Canadian equity market over a time period longer than 5 years, by investing primarily in large capitalization, dividend paying stocks of Canadian issuers. To assist in achieving this objective, the fund may, from time to time, overweight its assets in specific industry sectors, and the fund may also invest in U.S. stocks to provide greater return potential and better diversification.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager will employ fundamental analysis seeking to identify superior investment opportunities with the potential for capital appreciation and sustainable distribution or dividends over the long term. The portfolio manager will seek Canadian and U.S. issuers with attractive dividends or distributions and business models that can benefit from both industry and macro-economic trends.
