Investment Objectives

IPC Monthly Income Portfolio seeks to provide a regular stream of income with the potential for modest, long-term capital growth. The Fund invests, either directly or through securities of other mutual funds, primarily in Canadian and U.S. higher-yielding fixed-income securities, income trusts, convertible securities, mortgage-backed securities and money market instruments. The Fund also invests in Canadian and foreign common and preferred equity securities.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests up to 100% of its assets in securities of other mutual funds using strategic asset allocation as its principal investment strategy. The Fund’s asset class weightings will generally be 45%-65% in equity securities and 35%-55% in fixed income securities. The Fund may invest in any type or quality of fixed-income security, income trust, equity security, mortgage-backed security or money market instrument.
