Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Picton Mahoney Fortified Multi-Asset Fund (the “Fund”) is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in global equity securities and global income securities while mitigating capital loss by engaging in hedging strategies for downside risk protection. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund will not change without the consent of a majority of the voting unitholders of the Fund.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its investment objective, the Fund’s portfolio will include a tactical blend of global equities, global fixed income securities, commodities as permitted by NI 81-102, derivatives of the securities in these asset classes and cash. The Fund may also invest in ETFs and other mutual funds, including mutual funds managed by the Portfolio Advisor. Using both systematic as well as discretionary approaches, the Portfolio Advisor will apply strategic and tactical allocations across the Fund.
