Investment Objective

The Fund’s objective is to provide consistent long-term capital appreciation with an attractive risk-adjusted rate of return. The Fund aims to build a portfolio that is long the most attractive stocks and short the most unattractive stocks based on our multi-factor ranking system. We will buy quality companies in the midst of fundamental positive change with reasonable valuations and sell short lower quality companies in the midst of negative fundamental change that have high valuations. This portfolio will be structured so that it generally has positive but not full equity market exposure. On average, the fund will possess a 50% net long exposure to the equity market.

Add Hedging Tools
Aimed to dampen volatility and seek to mitigate downside risk associated with investing in equities.
Benefit From Proven Managers
With an active approach to managing Authentic Hedge® strategies for over a decade.

    This material is intended for use by Investment Advisors.

    Maximum Drawdown and Period of Maximum Drawdown are calculated using monthly data. Beta, standard deviation and Sharpe Ratio are calculated using data from each weekly valuation date. Due to the fund’s limited history, all risk/reward analysis results may not be statistically relevant. Beta measures the fund’s volatility relative to its benchmark: a rating of “1” implies the fund’s movements are identical to the index (typically you pay a manager to achieve beta of less than 1). Up/Downside Capture is a measure of an investment manager’s performance during only the up or down movements of an index (ideally you want low downside and a fairly high level of upside): the numbers shown here are the fund’s up/down capture relative to the benchmark(s). Maximum drawdown measures the largest single drop in a class’s Net Asset Value Per Unit from peak to trough before establishing a higher peak (the smaller, the better).

    There is no guarantee that a hedging strategy will be effective or achieve its intended effect. The use of derivatives or short selling carries several risks which may restrict a strategy in realizing its profits, limiting its losses, or, which cause a strategy to realize a loss. There may be additional costs and expenses associated with the use of derivatives and short selling in a hedging strategy.

    The rate of return shown in the "Growth of $10,000 investment" graph is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future values of the investment fund or returns on investment in the investment fund.

    Performance data is compared to the S&P/TSX Composite Index (TR), the standard benchmark for equity strategies in Canada. The composition of the Fund’s portfolio will significantly differ from the Index due to the Fund’s investment strategy.

    Investment Risk Rating is the historical volatility risk as measured by the standard deviation of fund performance, which is the standard methodology outlined in Appendix F Investment Risk Classification Methodology to NI 81-102 Investment Funds.
