Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objectives of the Fund are to provide stability of capital and maximum total return by investing primarily in a well-diversified portfolio of Canadian fixed-income securities and derivatives based on the value of fixed-income instruments.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the Fund’s investment objectives, we invest primarily in medium- to high-quality corporate and government bonds of Canadian, U.S. and other foreign issuers. In addition, we may also invest in asset-backed commercial paper. The Fund maintains an average term to maturity similar to the FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index. We incorporate material ESG factors as part of the investment process to consider issuers’ oversight and management of these material ESG factors.
