Description

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and outperform the broader Canadian equity market by investing primarily in Canadian equities and using a long/short overlay portfolio which aims to add positive absolute return. The long/short equity overlay portfolio holds up to 50% short position, and uses the cash generated from its short positions for an additional 50% long position. As a result, ATSXs long portfolio may have up to 150% exposure. Securities of the long and short portfolio are selected by applying a proprietary multifactor model to the Canadian equity market. Equities generated by this model that are in the top 10% are selected for the long portfolio, and the bottom 10% for the short portfolio, based on factors including value, quality, price momentum, operational momentum and trend. ATSX is an actively managed fund.
