Investment Objectives

The objective of this Fund is to provide a high income return and some long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in fixed-income securities of issuers throughout the world.

Investment Strategy

The management of the Fund is entrusted to a sub-manager who combines a top-down analysis for asset allocation, with a bottom-up analysis for security selection. The Fund invests primarily in global credit markets including, without limitation, investment-grade corporate bonds, high-yield corporate bonds and emerging market bonds. The investment-grade corporate bonds have a DBRS credit rating of BBB or better, or any equivalent credit rating set by another designated rating organization.
