Why invest in this Fund?

Investment Objective

The objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund will invest primarily in Canadian securities but can also invest in foreign securities and engage in short selling on an opportunistic basis. The Fund can also invest up to 10% of its NAV in private companies which will primarily be based in Canada.

Portfolio Fit

Suitable as a complement to passive and Canadian equity funds, this strategy is a tactical, actively managed portfolio of predominately Canadian equities. The Fund aims to enhance long-term growth potential and is designed to actively capture market trends while keeping downside top of mind.
