Investment Objectives

The Fund is designed to generate consistent returns that are commensurate with a moderate degree of investment risk. The manager focusses on global indicators to assess macro-economic trends in global stock, fixed income and commodity markets that are most impacted by those trends. The Fund is suitable for pension funds, health and welfare trust funds, general and corporate accounts. It is diversified and will only hold securities that make the "union friendly" qualification.

Investment Strategy

J Zechner Associates Inc. has introduced the first fund of its kind in Canada. One that is focused entirely on investing in Canadian publicly traded corporations and government entities that employ a meaningful number of Canadian unionized workers. This pro-Canadian union fund is focused on supporting the Canadian unions and the companies that employ them.
