The portfolio of the Fund will be managed, as per Jarislowky's long-standing practice, on a conservative basis, with a focus on generating income for unitholders.
   
"We are extremely pleased with the appointment of Jarislowsky Fraser as Crown Hill's investment manager," says Wayne Pushka, president of Crown Hill Capital. "As one of Canada's most respected investment managers with a singular commitment to long term growth, minimal risk and low fees, Jarislowsky is aligned with Crown Hill's long-term strategy for the fund."
