The Fund aims to generate a combination of income and capital appreciation over the long-term by investing in a globally diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities which fit within the Fund’s definition of responsible investing. The Fund follows a responsible approach to investing, as described on pages 74 to 79 of this prospectus. Unitholder approval (by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of unitholders) is required prior to a fundamental change of investment objectives.
To achieve its investment objective, the Fund invests in a mix of global equity and fixed income securities, either directly or indirectly through the use of derivatives, as well as securities of mutual funds and/or ETFs, including funds managed by third parties and/or those offered and managed by the Portfolio Manager.
