To this end, the Fund intends to invest substantially all its assets in Fiera Comox Global Private Equity Fund (Canada I) L.P., an Ontario limited partnership (the "Fiera Comox LP"), which holds a diversified portfolio of global corporate private equity investments, focusing on generating attractive absolute returns over the long-term while preserving capital. Although it is expected that that the Fund will invest directly in the Fiera Comox LP, some or all of the investment may be made through Fiera Global Private Equity Fund, a unit trust under the laws of the Province of Québec with the same investment objective as the Fund and which currently invests all or substantially all its assets in Fiera Comox LP.
