Investment Objectives

The objective of the fund is to provide a competitive level of monthly income by investing in short-term fixed-income assets. The fund invests primarily in short-term, high-quality fixed-income securities issued or guaranteed by Canadian federal, provincial or municipal governments and corporations, asset-backed securities and corporate bonds.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the fund’s objectives, the portfolio manager: selects maturities based on both economic fundamentals and capital market developments; invests the portion of the fund allocated to corporate bonds in securities with an average rating of A or higher by DBRS Ltd. or the equivalent rating as defined by other recognized rating agencies.
