The fund aims for long-term capital appreciation by targeting Canadian stocks perceived to have lower sensitivity to market changes. Using a proprietary defensive screen, the fund manager selects securities deemed to be less market sensitive. The portfolio is then optimized by proportionally allocating more to securities that are perceived to have higher potential risk-adjusted returns. As an actively managed ETF, the fund manager can analyze market and financial data to make buy, sell, and hold decisions at their discretion, such as securities lending, use of derivatives, etc.
