About the Funds

• AGF Global Real Assets Fund aims to deliver long-term capital growth by investing in listed global securities in energy, materials, infrastructure and precious metals sectors and is for investors seeking to invest in global equities with some exposure to fixed income and commodities. The fund uses a bottom-up fundamental security selection combined with tactical weightings to each asset class and the utilization of derivatives to manage risk and enhance income.
• AGF Total Return Bond Fund offers the potential for higher yields than traditional bonds with exposure to a range of fixed income securities including high yield bonds, convertible bonds and emerging market bonds. The fund uses a top-down fundamental approach to determine its category allocation and is combined with a bottom-up approach to corporate bond selection using corporate credit research.
• AGF U.S. Small-Mid Cap Fund targets market leaders and innovators and can complement existing large-cap equities to enhance diversification and gain exposure to potential growth opportunities offered by U.S. small and mid-cap equities. The fund uses a bottom-up growth investment style that looks at a company's revenue and profitability as well as earnings quality and growth potential.
