Investment Objectives

The fund’s objective is to provide a high level of regular interest income and modest capital gains. It invests primarily in: bonds and treasury bills issued by Canadian federal, provincial and municipal governments and Canadian corporations; money market instruments issued by Canadian corporations, including commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, mortgage-backed securities and guaranteed investment certificates; and/or high-quality dividend-paying shares of Canadian corporations.

Investment Strategy

Securities will generally have at the time of purchase a minimum credit rating of BBB (low) or R2 (low) or better by Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, or an equivalent rating by another designated rating organization. The average term to maturity of the Fund’s investments will vary, depending on market conditions. The portfolio adviser adjusts the average term to maturity to try to maximize returns while minimizing interest rate risk.
