North Square Tactical Defensive Fund Class A (ETFRX)

Overview

The fund is designed for investors looking for a balanced approach to achieving capital appreciation, primarily through a diverse allocation between selected fund investments and preserving liquidity through Cash Positions. By leveraging the expertise of a Sub-Adviser, the fund aims to identify and invest in a mix of actively managed and index-based ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), mutual funds, and other investment companies. These fund investments are chosen based on their potential for capital growth. In parallel, the fund emphasizes the importance of liquidity and capital preservation by maintaining Cash Positions. These positions are comprised of cash itself and short-term, highly liquid investments. The strategy behind this diversification is to create a balanced portfolio that seeks growth while providing a buffer against market volatility through readily accessible liquid assets.
