Investment Objectives
The fundamental investment objective of the fund is to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of North American resource equity and income securities, including dividend paying or distribution paying North American resource equity and income securities such as common shares, income trust units, convertible bonds, and, to a lesser extent, interestbearing securities such as corporate bonds.
Investment Strategy
