The Fund aims to provide high current income while protecting your original investment. It invests mostly in bonds, debentures and securities that are issued or guaranteed by the Government of Canada, a province or Canadian companies, and money market securities. The Fund follows a responsible approach to investing, as described on pages 74 to 79 of this prospectus.
All decisions and strategies are based on seeking the preservation of capital and an active approach to adding value. The analysis of a fixed income investment is based on both an objective analysis based on credit ratings (both internal and external) and subjective judgment based on the outlook for the company and industry. The Portfolio Sub-Advisor makes gradual changes in the portfolio and captures incremental capital gains.
