Investment Objectives

To provide investors with an attractive balance of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a combination of Canadian equity and equity-related securities and fixed-income securities.

Investment Strategy

For the equity portion, the Fund invests primarily in companies providing a stable income or consistent dividends. For the fixed income portion, the portfolio advisor selects high-quality fixed-income securities, including bank loans and floating rate debt instruments, but may choose to shift the weighting of the portion of the Fund held in bonds with longer terms to maturity, depending on the expected fluctuations in interest rates.
