Investment Objective
The Fund seeks to provide investors with capital
appreciation and/or income generation.
Strategy/Style
The investment team relies primarily on a
fundamentally driven top-down investment
approach. Portfolio managers determine which
regions, countries, currencies, sectors and
industries to favour based on their analysis of the
macroeconomic environment, valuation factors and
investor sentiment (which often results in a
contrarian view and value bias). Proprietary
quantitative tools are employed to support and
validate fundamental research. The Fund invests in
a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of equity
securities of mid to large-cap companies of the
world’s developed countries. 0-10% Cash &
Equivalents; 90-100% Equity exposure & Funds;
40-100% Foreign currency exposure. Maximum
investment in a single company: 10%. Maximum
investment in countries not included in the MSCI
World Index: 10%.
