Investment Objectives
This fund’s objective is to increase the value of your investment over the long term by investing primarily in exchange traded funds that invest in global equity and fixed income securities. The fund may also invest in other mutual funds or invest directly in global fixed income securities and cash or cash equivalents. The portfolio manager may change the fund’s asset mix according to its outlook for each asset class.
Investment Strategy
These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objectives: • invests a majority of its assets in exchange traded funds • may invest up to 100% of the fund’s assets in securities of underlying funds, with such underlying funds expected to be predominantly or exclusively underlying funds that are managed by us or one of our affiliates or associates
