It’s hard to believe that in 1969, man landed on the moon. It was a pivotal moment in history that solidified the notion that anything is possible.
In that same year, the Empire Life Elite Equity GIF was launched, now making it one of Canada’s longest running segregated funds1. The fund has outperformed2 the S&P/TSX Composite Index since its inception3 – by using a value-oriented conservative investment approach with a focus on downside protection. Today, the fund has an annualized return since inception4 of 9.4%, and a 4-Star Morningstar Rating5.
