Inception date
Jun 14, 2016
The fund seeks to provide exposure to equity securities of all caps from around the world. Since the fund is actively-managed, the advisor has complete discretion which stocks to include and exclude over time. Securities considered for inclusion are to be taken from the FTSE Global All Cap Index. The manager uses a quantitative model in assessing which companies have low volatility by looking at each firms volatility drivers such as industry, group, sector and individual security concentrations. The fund is designed for investors seeking a diverse equity portfolio that delivers efficient exposure to stocks of different market sectors and industry groups. It may also use derivatives to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the securities included in its portfolio to the CAD.
