Investment Objectives

The Fund's objectives are to conserve principal and produce income with capital appreciation as a secondary consideration. The Fund invests in a variety of Government of Canada, provincial, municipal, corporate and asset-backed bonds with mid to long terms of maturity. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities.

Investment Strategy

The Fund employs an active, multiple sub-adviser approach seeking to provide capital preservation, as well as elevated income. Using the unique strengths of each sub-adviser, the Fund seeks to deliver excess return (compared to the benchmark) via a combination of income and capital gain, as well as, diversified risk exposures.
