The fund operates as a “fund of funds”, meaning its primary investment strategy involves allocating its assets among a diversified portfolio of both unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), referred to as "underlying funds". This approach allows the fund to invest across a wide spectrum of equity securities of any market capitalization. The fund's investment advisor carefully selects these underlying funds with the goal of achieving the fund's investment objectives while ensuring diversification. Market conditions permitting, the fund aims to maintain a target exposure to equity securities, through its investments in the underlying funds, averaging between 30% to 50% of its total assets over a three-year horizon. This strategy is designed to balance the fund's risk-reward profile for its investors.
These are mutual funds managed by third parties, which the fund invests in as part of its diversified investment strategy. By including unaffiliated mutual funds in its portfolio, the fund takes advantage of the expertise of various fund managers outside its managing entity, enabling a broad exposure to different investment strategies, geographical regions, and sectors.
ETFs are included in the fund’s investment portfolio due to their liquidity, cost efficiency, and the ability to quickly adjust exposure to various market sectors. Investing in ETFs allows the fund to efficiently manage its target asset allocation range for equity exposure, while also benefiting from the transparent and real-time pricing of these instruments.
