Investment Objective/Strategy
The Acuity Pooled Social Values Canadian Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian equity securities which meet standards of financial and social responsibility. Social criteria address short-term and long-term business risks and opportunities arising from the company's approach to environmental practices, labour relations, corporate governance and international operations. Companies generating a significant portion of revenues from the manufacture of dangerous products such as weapons, tobacco and nuclear power are avoided.
