Investment Objectives

The NBI Income Fund aims to achieve a reasonably high return (higher than that for five-year guaranteed investment certificates) and income for the investor by investing mainly in fixed-income securities. The fund invests primarily in Canadian (federal and provincial) government bonds and investment grade corporate bonds.

Investment Strategy

The fund may invest in: Canadian and provincial government bonds with medium or long terms, foreign government bonds, municipal bonds, Canadian and foreign corporate bonds, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. The portfolio sub-advisor may choose to invest approximately 40% of the net assets of the fund in securities of underlying mutual funds (including exchange-traded funds) managed by the manager or by third parties.
