Investment objective

To provide long-term capital growth, while minimizing the exposure to currency fluctuations between foreign currencies and the Canadian dollar. The fund invests primarily in equity securities to track the performance of the benchmark, indirectly by investing in units of the iShares Core MSCI EAFE IMI Index ETF. The fund will use derivatives, such as options, futures and forward contracts to hedge against the currency fluctuations between foreign currencies and the Canadian dollar.
