Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of large-cap Canadian corporations listed on a stock exchange.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager uses a disciplined investment process that relies on fundamental and trend analyses of issuers. The Manager will consider, among other things, the corporations’ financial health, valuation and growth perspectives, as well as the quality of their management team. Trend analyses strengthen the Manager’s conviction, but the major source of added value will come mainly from stock selection.
