The Fund seeks to provide investors with a balance of income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in exchange traded funds to gain exposure to Canadian and foreign equity and fixed-income securities and other asset categories. The Fund may also invest in other mutual funds or invest directly in Canadian and foreign equity and fixed-income securities and other asset categories where the Fund considers it would be beneficial to securityholders to do so.
The Fund’s asset mix will generally be kept within the following ranges: 50% - 70% equity securities and 30% - 50% fixed-income securities. The Fund is built upon long-term strategic allocations to different equity markets, fixed-income markets, and other asset classes. The Fund may be over or underweight equity or fixed-income or other asset class holdings when Counsel believes it is prudent to do so based on market signals and other factors.
