Investment Objectives

> To provide total returns comprised of interest income and modest capital growth. The fund invests primarily in higher yielding corporate debt securities issued by U.S. corporations. We will not change the fundamental investment objectives of the fund unless we have the consent of a majority of the voting unitholders of the fund to do so.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the fund’s objectives, the portfolio manager: invests primarily in higher yielding debt securities rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s or its equivalent, issued by U.S. corporations; employs a value-focused philosophy for corporate bonds, striving to invest in quality companies having stable to improving credit profiles which are considered to be undervalued given the current market sentiment.
