Investment Objectives
The fundamental investment objective of the fund is to seek to maximize total returns comprised of income and capital appreciation, through exposure to investments in debt securities. The fund’s exposure to these securities may be achieved through investments in other mutual funds or directly in individual securities. Fundamental investment objectives may only be changed with the approval of a majority of unitholders at a meeting called for that purpose.
Investment Strategy
To achieve the fund’s investment objectives, the fund is designed to invest in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities from a universe of Canadian, U.S. and international debt securities through investments in other mutual funds managed by us (each an “underlying fund”) or directly in individual securities.
