Investment Objectives

The Fund's objective is to provide capital growth. It invests primarily in shares of Canadian companies that are expected to profit from future economic growth.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager uses a bottom-up growth investment style, focusing on companies that it believes may exhibit superior growth potential. When evaluating companies, it looks for four key characteristics: strong management, above-average growth, financial strength, attractive valuations. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, which will vary from time to time. Foreign securities are not typically expected to exceed 49% of the net assets of the Fund at the time of purchase.
