  7. Investment Philosophy and Strategy.

  8. Why focus on large caps? What are the Heavyweights? Largest of the large caps. Top TSX stocks account for +70% of the Composite. Top US stocks account for ~ 50% of S&P 500. Heavyweights have a dispropor-tionate share of total returns. Heavyweights are part of every diver-sified portfolio. Cost and risk of picking off these stocks is un-warranted. Less efficient/ higher risk Returns are cost sensitive: need to minimize costs Most efficient Least risk

  9. Large cap model • Based onmathematics and modeling to: • create a portfolio that is a statistically valid sample of the target market • uses a weighting scheme that will lift performance and manage risk • transparent rules to eliminate error
