Investment Objectives

The Fund’s objective is to provide total returns consisting principally of interest income by investing primarily in short term fixed income and floating rate debt securities of Canadian and foreign issuers. The investment objective of the Fund can only be changed with the approval of a majority of the Unitholders at a meeting called for such purpose.

Investment Strategy

The Fund’s portfolio will primarily be invested in fixed income and floating rate debt securities of Canadian and foreign issuers. It also may invest in debt securities convertible into common stock, and fixed income and floating rate debt securities of governments, government agencies, supranational agencies, companies, trusts and limited partnerships. The Fund will not be leveraged.
