Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to provide a high income while minimizing the effects of interest rate fluctuations. The Fund invests primarily in floating-rate and fixed-rate debt securities of issuers throughout the world and enters into derivative instrument transactions to generate a floating rate income.

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, which provide higher income than government bonds from developed markets, like Government of Canada and US Treasury bonds.
