Investment Objectives
The investment objective of the NPI Canadian Social Responsibility Index Fund is to provide capital appreciation by obtaining a return that approximates the performance of the S&P/TSX Composite index while selecting investment holdings that fit the Fund’s socially responsible investing screening criteria.
Investment Strategies
The Fund follows a “passive” management strategy to create a portfolio of primarily large-cap Canadian equity securities which fits the Fund’s social responsibility criteria in order to match the performance of the S&P/TSX Composite index.
The Fund may use an “optimization” strategy whereby securities are selected based on industry weightings, market capitalization, and certain fundamental characteristics to match the S&P/TSX Composite index. The Fund may use a “full replication” strategy whereby securities are held in the same proportion as the S&P/TSX Composite index.
