Stocks chosen are considered to be either undervalued in relation to their historical price, industry competitors and/or the overall market, or have prospects for above average earnings growth.

Volatility Profile

The Fund is suitable for clients with a moderate to high-risk tolerance and a longer-term investment time horizon.

As stocks have traditionally risen in value more than other types of investments, they offer the greatest potential for long-term growth. However, investing in stocks is also riskier than other investments as stock prices fluctuate more than other types of investments.

The MB Global Equity Fund invests in stocks outside of Canada; therefore, it provides an opportunity to diversify across many markets and reduces risks that are associated with a single country fund. It does, however, have risk associated with foreign exchange rates and market conditions in other countries.
