Fund Objectives

The fund is managed to maximize absolute returns on investments through securities selection and asset allocation. In order to reduce risk and volatility the Investment Manager will diversify by both market capitalization and by economic sector. The fund invests primarily in equity and equity-related securities of North American companies and may also invest in international companies. Geographic and sector allocations will vary significantly over time. In selecting investments for the fund, the Investment Manager primarily focuses on the securities of companies believed to be trading at a discount to their intrinsic value and which present compelling investment opportunities. The assets of the fund will be allocated amongst strategies that balance risk, return and liquidity.
