Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to preserve capital and generate returns through current income and capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in investment and non-investment grade fixed income securities issued by North American corporations. This, however, does not preclude the Fund from making equity investments when the Manager deems the risk/reward trade-off to be in the investors’ favour.

Investment Strategy

The Fund employs a value-based fundamental research process. The Manager believes that private and public securities are priced inefficiently and, as a result, the price of any given security only occasionally coincides with its intrinsic value. The Manager attempts to identify and exploit these inaccuracies using internal analyses. Those businesses whose securities the Manager believes to be undervalued will be considered as investment candidates.
