Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a stable level of cash flow. To achieve this investment objective, the Fund will obtain exposure principally to short-term, high-quality fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by Canadian federal, provincial or municipal governments or issued by Canadian corporations. Exposure may be direct or indirect from any combination of holding such fixed income securities, investments in other mutual funds and derivatives.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the Fund invests in Russell Investments Short Term Income Pool. The Fund may use derivatives from time to time for hedging and non-hedging purposes. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge against changes in the value of the Fund’s investments caused by changes to the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and other currencies.
