Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of coupon interest income consistent with reasonable safety of capital by investing primarily in investment grade Canadian corporate bonds. Any proposed change to the fundamental investment objectives of the Fund must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the Fund’s investors called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The Fund holds a well-diversified portfolio of Canadian corporate bonds reflecting a wide range of both industry sectors and credit quality. Primary focus is security selection based on credit analysis and relative value, with a secondary focus on term positioning. The Fund generally invests in bonds that are rated BBB or higher. The Fund may hold assets rated less than BBB by virtue of a credit rating downgrade subsequent to purchase.
