in a single fund
- you are comfortable with low-to-medium investment risk
Investment Objectives and Strategies
This fund's objective is to provide a balance between income and growth in
the value of your investment over the long term, by investing primarily in
Canadian equities and fixed-income securities.
The asset mix of the fund fluctuates according to the
portfolio manager's outlook for the asset classes. The
individual securities in each asset class are selected
according to each portfolio manager's investment style.
For fixed-income investments, a disciplined investment
approach is used based on the portfolio manager's interest rate outlook. Overall maturity structure and sector positioning of the fund's portfolio are based on anticipated changes in the direction of interest rates, while the selection of individual securities is determined by fundamental analysis and relative valuations.
For the Canadian equity portion of the portfolio, the portfolio manager applies a bottom-up fundamental investment process to identify attractively priced securities. This process includes the analysis of company financial statements, management and valuations.
Foreign equity exposure may be achieved by allocating a
portion of the fund's portfolio to international portfolio managers or by
investing in the securities directly.
