Investment Objective
While the Multiple Asset Class Basket Private Pool (referred to hereafter as the “Private Pool”) seeks to attain long-term capital appreciation, it also aims to minimize the volatility ascribed to traditional asset classes. More specifically, is seeks to attain a return similar to that obtained by a traditional portfolio (60% equities, 40% fixed-income securities) and a lower volatility. Both the diversity of asset classes and the inclusion of non traditional asset classes allow for a reduction in risk and volatility. Your Investment Advisor may provide you with the complete Investment Policy Statement.

What is a Private Pool?
A Private Pool is a private investment fund. In return for your investment in the Private Pool, you will receive units of the Private Pool. The value of these units is based on the value of the Private Pool’s underlying investments. A professional portfolio manager manages these investments on a discretionary basis.
Content
For the most part, the Private Pool will consist of exchange traded funds (ETFs), closed-end funds, alternative investments and individual securities. Target allocations for equities and fixed income are 60% and 40% respectively.
Who is this investment for?
Investors who:
- want income.
- want a balance between growth and capital protection.
- want to benefit from the inclusion of alternative investments in their asset allocations.

A word about tax
In general, you’ll have to pay income tax on any gain and revenue generated from your investment. How much you pay depends on the tax laws that are applicable in the area you live in and whether or not you hold the investment in a registered plan, such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan or a Tax-Free Savings Account. Keep in mind that if you hold your investment in a non-registered account, fund distributions or capital gains are included in your taxable income; whether they are paid, accrued or reinvested.
