Investment Objectives

To provide long-term capital growth while minimizing the exposure to currency fluctuations between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. The fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies using a quantitative investment approach either directly or indirectly through investment in other mutual funds managed by RBC GAM or an affiliate of RBC GAM. The fund seeks to achieve a reduced level of volatility of returns as compared to the broader U.S. equity market.

Investment Strategy

Currently, the fund invests directly in equity securities of U.S. companies. The fund is managed using a quantitative investment model designed to select individual stocks while controlling portfolio-level risk. This involves building a portfolio that maximizes exposure to factors associated with outperformance, while controlling for exposure to risk factors.
