AGF Investments Inc. Equity (Non-Traditional Pool) Team
Investment Style: Exchange-traded funds/fundamental indexing
Investment Philosophy and Approach:
The investment objective of Harmony Non-traditional Pool is to provide long-term capital appreciation. It obtains exposure primarily to a diversified portfolio of equity securities related to global non-traditional asset classes such as real estate, infrastructure, water, oil sands, mining, gold, agriculture and energy.

To achieve its objective, the Pool will primarily invest in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) that are index participation units. In selecting ETFs, the portfolio manager draws on asset allocation recommendations provided by Wilshire Associates and in the normal course expects to follow these recommendations.

AGF Investments Inc. North American Equity Team
Investment Style: Large-cap growth
Investment Philosophy and Approach:
The team's objective is to capture leading growth companies in every investment cycle. Every stock the team holds is a buy each day, or it is sold. The team uses an opportunistic bottom-up approach with front-end quantitative screens and a catalyst identification component to identify high-quality, large-cap U.S. growth companies that can successfully generate sustainable to above-average growth for revenue, earnings and cash flow.

AGF Investments Inc. Fixed Income Team
Investment Style: Interest rate anticipation
Investment Philosophy and Approach:
AGF's fixed-income investment approach maintains a high level of monthly income, while preserving capital. During periods of increasing interest rates, the managers strive to protect capital; they seek capital appreciation when interest rates are falling. Using top-down fundamental analysis, AGF forecasts interest rates by analyzing inflation, economic growth, employment, and fiscal and monetary policy in Canada and around the world. The individual securities are chosen to minimize credit risk. AGF favours bonds issued by governments and their agencies with a minimum credit rating of 'A'.
