The fund is passively managed to target the growth segment of the Dow Jones Canada Index, which provides broad, market-like exposure to Canadian equities. The funds index screens for large- and mid-caps, and then ranks eligible securities using a style classification based on six factors: projected earnings growth, projected price-to-earnings, price-to-book, dividend yield, revenue growth, and earnings growth. Securities are grouped according to style, with the growth cluster forming XCGs portfolio. Holdings are market cap-weighted, with individual weights capped at 10%. The index is reconstituted annually and rebalanced quarterly.
