Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide consistent long-term capital appreciation with an attractive risk-adjusted rate of return by actively investing in a portfolio comprised of long and short equity securities. The Fund invests in Canadian, U.S. and International equities, aims for less net equity market exposure than traditional long-only strategies through the use of short positions, and is designed to dampen volatility and mitigate downside risk relative to typical long-biased portfolios heavily exposed to broad market movements.
Why Invest
Equity Exposure With Less Broad Market Risk
Invest in a Fund designed to increase gross exposure to generate alpha while reducing net market exposure to decrease broad market risk.
Add Hedging Tools
Aimed to dampen volatility and seek to mitigate downside risk associated with investing in equities.
