The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a defensive portfolio of developed markets ex-US equities. A proprietary defensive screen is used to select securities with lower sensitivity to market changes. The fund manager optimizes the portfolio by allocating proportionally more assets to securities that have higher potential risk-adjusted returns. To achieve the desired exposure, the fund may invest in other funds including Canada- or US-listed ETFs. The fund may utilize derivatives for hedging or investment purposes. It may also enter into securities lending, repurchase, and reverse repurchase transactions to earn additional income.
