Leith Wheeler
International Equity Plus Fund

Objective

The Fund seeks to provide above-average long-term investment returns by primarily investing in equity and equity-related securities issued by companies in international markets, including developed, emerging and frontier markets generally outside of North America. We will not change the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund without the consent of unitholders (either by written consent of holders of at least 50% of the outstanding units, or by majority vote at a meeting of unitholders).

Investment Style

We utilize a value approach to stock selection, applying bottom-up, fundamental analysis to all investment decisions. Our investment goal is to protect client capital while generating superior investment growth, regardless of economic conditions. We seek to invest in solid companies with stable earnings, a long-term business model, and a capable management team we can trust that can navigate variable market conditions. As value investors, we tend to include companies in the portfolio when they are viewed as “out of favour” by the market and have declined in price. Companies can become undervalued when there is a lack of investor awareness, when an entire industry is out of favour with investors, or when a company experiences a short-term difficulty which, following careful analysis, we believe can be overcome. By purchasing these companies after a price decline, we are able to control downside risk in the portfolio while adding the potential for an attractive return.
