Investment Objectives

BESG seeks to provide investment returns through a combination of income and capital growth by investing, directly or indirectly, primarily in debt securities issued by Canadian federal, provincial or municipal governments and companies while integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria as part of the fundamental evaluation of investment opportunities.

Investment Strategy

In order to achieve its investment objective, the PowerShares ETF may invest in securities of PowerShares portfolios, securities of Invesco Funds that are not PowerShares portfolios, fixed-income securities, futures contracts and/or securities of exchange-traded funds that are managed by third parties, provided that such holdings are consistent with its investment objective.
