Watch the investment team recap this quarter.

(Note: Filmed in October 2024).

OBJECTIVE AND INVESTMENT POLICY

The Fund aims to seek long-term capital growth, consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current income. The Fund invests between 35%-70% of its net asset value in equities, and between 30%-65% of its net asset value in debt securities and loan participations. At least 80% of its net asset value is invested in US companies and US issuers selected mainly for their income potential.

ABOUT THIS FUND

  • High-conviction large-cap growth equities paired with an active intermediate-term bond strategy
  • Dynamic asset allocation strategy that has the flexibility to defensively position ahead of market volatility by migrating from 35-70% equity depending on conditions
  • Integrated research allows our equity and fixed income analysts to work side by side covering the same global sectors
