Beutel Goodman Canadian Dividend Fund seeks income and capital growth by primarily investing in blue chip dividend-paying Canadian stocks. Other Canadian and foreign income-paying securities may be added to enhance diversification across sectors traditionally underrepresented in the Canadian equity market. The portfolio is built using bottom-up, fundamental research to seek to invest in quality companies with stable, growing businesses and strong balance sheets at discounts to their business value. We believe this focus can provide a margin of safety and help mitigate the potential of capital loss. Our approach includes a process-driven sell discipline, with a one-third sale of securities that exceed the upside target we have set and a secondary review for stocks that exceed their downside targets.
