Investment Objectives

The objective of this Fund is to provide unitholders with a high and regular income return, as well as a greater security of capital. The Fund’s portfolio consists of a variety of debt securities of Canadian governments and corporations, along with foreign debt securities. Any modification of the fundamental investment objective must be approved by the unitholders by a majority vote at a meeting called for this purpose.

Investment Strategy

The management of the Fund is entrusted to a sub-manager who, through credit research and economic analysis, combines fundamental and quantitative analyses in order to validate and optimize the opportunities that are available in the markets. The sub-manager mainly selects securities from Canadian and foreign corporate and governmental issuers with a DBRS credit rating of BBB or better, or any equivalent credit rating set by another designated rating organization.
