Primary advisor
BMO Asset Management, Inc.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by actively investing in Canadian equities that have lower sensitivity to market movements (beta). The fund adviser selects portfolio holdings from a universe of the largest and most liquid Canadian securities. The resulting portfolio is weighted so that higher weights are allocated to stocks with lower beta. Holdings are rebalanced and reconstituted annually, in June and December, respectively.
