Investment Objectives

The objective of this Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s portfolio consists primarily of equity securities of companies located or operating primarily in Europe, Australasia and the Far East. Any modification of the fundamental investment objective must be approved by the unitholders by a majority vote at a meeting called for this purpose.

Investment Strategy

The management of the Fund’s assets is assigned to a sub-manager who favours a ’growth at a reasonable price’ management style. Based on a rigorous fundamental analysis, the sub-manager searches for investment-grade corporate securities whose unique advantages afford the ability to: generate a high return on invested capital, provide ample growth potential, generate strong and predictable cash flows, consistently compound shareholder wealth over the long term and preserve capital.
