Investment Objectives

To provide regular income by taking advantage of interest rate and currency fluctuations in world short-term fixed-income markets. The fund invests primarily in high-quality short-term fixed-income securities, denominated in foreign currencies and issued internationally by governments and their agencies around the world. The fund may also invest in fixed-income securities issued by Canadian and foreign corporations and supranational agencies like the World Bank.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the fund’s objectives, the portfolio manager: invests in short-term fixed-income securities of governments, their agencies, supranational organizations or companies throughout the world; selects securities based on fundamental economic analysis examining economic growth, inflation and the fiscal and monetary policy in each country; uses a disciplined approach to assess opportunities within four risk categories.
