Investment Objectives

The Portfolio’s investment objective is to achieve a combination of income and long-term capital appreciation by making tactical investments primarily in a diverse mix of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are fixed-income funds and equity funds.

Investment Strategy

The target weighting for each asset class in which the Portfolio invests under normal market conditions is the following: 25%-65% of the net assets in Canadian and global fixed-income securities, 35%-75% of the net assets in Canadian and global equity securities. The Portfolio achieves exposure to the above asset classes by investing up to 100% of its assets in ETFs.
