Investment Objectives

The fund’s objective is to provide regular monthly income and some capital appreciation. It invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of income generating securities such as: dividend paying common shares; preferred shares; investment grade bonds; convertible debentures; mortgages; high yield bonds; asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities; income trust units.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio adviser determines the asset mix based on its analysis of market conditions and performance expectations for each asset series in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives. For the Fund’s equity investments, the portfolio adviser uses fundamental analysis to identify appropriate long-term investments. This involves evaluating the financial condition and management of each company, as well as its industry and the economy.
