Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum long-term return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management. It will evaluate opportunities across global fixed income markets in order to outperform the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA). It primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of non-Canadian dollar Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities.

Investment Strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a manner consistent with the portfolio manager's secular thinking, global themes and integrated investment process across sectors. The Fund is an absolute return-oriented bond strategy that has broad investment discretion to invest but is not tethered to benchmark-specific guidelines or significant sector constraints.
