Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the Pool is to seek to provide both current income and the potential for capital appreciation by investing in Canadian and foreign equity and fixed income securities. The Pool may also achieve its objective by entering into forward contracts in order to approximate the return of another fund managed by Manulife Investment Management Limited (less derivative transaction costs).

Investment Strategy

The Pool invests primarily in debt and equity securities which may include, but is not limited to common shares, preferred shares, government debt, corporate debt, real estate investment trusts, royalty trusts and money market instruments. The Pool may also invest in foreign securities as well as below investment grade debt.
