Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objectives of the Fund are to provide a high level of income and the opportunity for capital appreciation by investing primarily in a well-diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities issued by Canadian and/or foreign corporations and governments.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the Fund’s investment objectives, we invest primarily in medium quality Canadian and/or foreign corporate bonds, convertible bonds, preferred shares and government bonds issued or traded in Canadian and U.S. dollars. In addition, we may also invest in asset-backed commercial paper. The average term to maturity of the portfolio is managed within strict guidelines, typically between three and 13 years.
