Objective & Strategy:
The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize risk-adjusted returns through a fundamental market neutral approach to investing, primarily in US small cap companies on an event-driven basis.
The Fund has a unique edge that resembles that of an event- or catalyst-driven strategy. The Fund has a short-term investment horizon that seeks to capture positive returns from the volatility surrounding a company's earnings announcements. The Fund has a flexible mandate and can be long or short based on investment opportunities. Options are used opportunistically to protect against significant losses in any one security.
Ideal for:
The Fund is best suited for equity investors looking for a conservative U.S.-focused fund. The Fund will pair well with a long-only U.S. growth fund.
