A summary of the changes is as follows:
| Fund name | Current investment objective | New investment objective |
| Stone Global Strategy Fund | The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with monthly cash distributions and to preserve and enhance the net asset value of the Fund against inflation through appreciation, primarily through the purchase of a diversified pool of global large capitalization dividend-yielding equity securities and fixed income securities. | The Investment Objective is to provide investors with a global balanced fund that will provide a total return by investing in a portfolio of global stocks and fixed income securities which meet the ESG criteria. This means the Fund will seek to invest in companies whose activities or ways of operating are aligned with sustainable development and therefore support the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. |
The changes are effective January 1, 2020. Full particulars of the changes are outlined in a management circular dated October 30, 2019, which is available on SEDAR.
