Primary advisor
BMO Asset Management Corp.
The fund combines active management with low volatility investing. The fund adviser looks for stocks that have lower sensitivity to market movements (beta). Portfolio holdings are selected from the large-cap segment of the developed ex-North America equity market. The resulting portfolio is weighted so that higher weights are allocated to stocks with lower beta. Holdings are rebalanced and reconstituted annually, in June and December, respectively.
