Objectives and Approach

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment). The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies incorporated, or listed on a stock exchange, in the United States. Depending on market conditions, the Fund will invest in equity securities of companies that are, in the opinion of the investment adviser(IA) opinion, undervalued (i.e. their share price does not reflect their underlying worth) or have good growth potential. The Fund is actively managed and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA will refer to the the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”) when constructing the Fund’s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IA may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. However, the geographical scope of the investment objective and policy may have the effect of limiting the extent to which the portfolio holdings will deviate from the Index. The Index should be used by unitholders to compare the performance of the Fund. The IA may use derivatives (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective and for efficient portfolio management. The Fund may, via derivatives, generate varying amounts of market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for short-term investment.
