| Pt V, Line 4 | The Society's investment policy intends for the Society to invest in assets that would produce results exceeding the investment's purchase price and incur a significant yield of return, while assuming a moderate level of investment risk. The Society expects its Investment Fund, over time, to provide a reasonable rate of return. To satisfy the long-term rate-of-return objective, the Society relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Society targets a diversified asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on marketable equity and debt securities and money-market accounts to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints. |
