Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to preserve the value of your investment by investing primarily in exchange traded funds that invest in Canadian, U.S. and international fixed income securities. The fund may also invest in other mutual funds or invest directly in individual fixed income securities and cash or cash equivalents. The fund’s asset mix may be changed over time to reflect the portfolio manager’s long-term outlook for each asset class.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try and achieve the fund’s objective: employs a strategic asset allocation strategy; the fund’s asset class weightings will be approximately 95-100% in fixed income and 0-5% in equity securities.
