The Fund aims to provide capital growth in excess of the Russell 2000 Lagged (Net Total Return) index (after fees have been deducted) over a three to five year period by investing in equity and equity related securities of small-sized US companies. The Fund is actively managed and invests at least 80% of its assets in equity and equity related securities of small-sized US companies. These are companies that, at the time of purchase, are similar in size to those comprising the bottom 20% by market capitalisation of the North American equity market. The Fund may invest in small-sized Canadian companies.
