Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide effective diversification against equities and a stable level of cash flow by investing principally in fixed income securities of Canadian issuers that are rated by DBRS Morningstar as BBB or higher or that are, in the opinion of the money manager, equivalent to such rating. The investment objective cannot be changed unless unitholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

This Fund invests primarily in Canadian fixed income securities using the following styles: interest rate management, sector selection, security selection, currency management, and global management. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in foreign fixed income securities. In order to seek to reduce currency risk, the Fund expects to hedge most of the foreign currency risk inherent in foreign currency securities through the use of forward contracts.
