Fund Description

The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in securities of Canadian issuers and other investments tied economically to Canada. The Adviser considers factors such as third-party country or region classifications, an issuer's domicile and location of assets, whether the issuer derives at least 50% of its revenues from or has at least 50% of its assets in a country or region, the source of any government guarantees, and the primary trading market or listing exchange to determine whether an issuer is located in or tied economically to a country or region. It may also invest in securities of U.S. issuers. The fund normally invests primarily in common stocks and may invest up to 35% of total assets in any industry that accounts for more than 20% of the Canadian market. It uses fundamental analysis, including issuers' financial condition and industry position, and market and economic conditions.
