Beutel Goodman North American Focused Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in mid- to large-cap Canadian and U.S. stocks. It is expected this portfolio will only hold up to 24 securities, with maximum single-holding, regional and sector weights in place to provide diversification. 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.
