Investment Objectives

The Portfolio’s investment objective is to achieve a combination of income and long-term capital appreciation by making tactical investments primarily in a diverse mix of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are fixed-income funds and equity funds. The weighting assigned to equity securities will generally be greater than the weighting assigned to fixed-income securities.

Investment Strategy

The target weighting for each asset class in which the Portfolio invests under normal market conditions is the following: 10%-50% of the net assets in Canadian and global fixed-income securities, 50%-90% of the net assets in Canadian and global equity securities. The Portfolio achieves exposure to the above asset classes by investing up to 100% of its net assets in ETFs.
