Investment Objectives
The investment objective of Counsel Canadian Value is to seek long-term growth of capital, while maintaining a commitment to protection of its capital by investing primarily in Canadian equity securities. Counsel Canadian Value may also invest in Canadian fixed-income securities and equity and fixed-income securities of issuers anywhere in the world, depending upon prevailing market conditions.
Investment Strategy
The sub-advisor invests primarily in equity securities of larger Canadian issuers and seeks to diversify the Fund by investing in a variety of industry sectors. Generally stocks of Canadian companies that are financially strong and have a measurable worth are bought when the stock is selling at a price below its estimated worth or its intrinsic value.
