Investment Objectives

Dynamic Canadian Bond Fund seeks to provide income while preserving capital through investment in a diversified portfolio primarily of Canadian fixed income securities including government and corporate bonds. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objective of the Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required. This approval must be given by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of unitholders.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian fixed income securities primarily issued by the federal or provincial governments and corporate bonds. A disciplined approach is used in managing risk as fixed income securities are actively traded in response to movements in the level of bond yields and the shape of the yield curve. The portfolio advisor actively manages duration and sector weightings.
