Fund Objectives

The Fund pursues long-term capital growth by investing mainly in a diversified portfolio of Japanese equity securities. Non-Japanese investments are permitted in other Asian securities markets but collectively will not exceed 20% of the Fund's portfolio securities at any time. The Fund uses a multi-manager investment strategy of between two and six portfolio teams, selected by Mackenzie, to manage the Fund's portfolio investments. Any change to the investment objectives must be approved by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of shareholders held for that reason.
