Investment Objectives

The Fund’s objective is to provide income and the potential for long term capital growth by investing primarily in fixed income securities with an emphasis on corporate and other higher yielding fixed income securities. The fundamental investment objective may only be changed with the approval of a majority of Securityholders at a meeting called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager: uses fundamental analysis to select investments and reviews the values of the investments on an ongoing basis, paying particular attention to credit quality and diversification by geographic region, industry sector, size of issuer and credit rating. The Fund: will invest primarily in fixed income securities of North American companies; may from time to time invest a significant portion of the Fund’s assets in non-North American companies.
