Investment Objectives

The Fund aims to provide a steady flow of income and the potential for capital gains. It invests primarily in foreign fixed income securities including government and non-government bonds and corporate bonds.

Investment Strategy

To meet the Fund’s objectives, the portfolio management team: Uses the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index as a guide to structuring the Fund’s portfolio and selecting investments, and manages the Fund to have an overall interest rate risk that is similar to the index. Allocates the Fund’s assets among issuers in different market sectors, industries, and maturities, based on its view of the relative value of each sector, industry, or maturity.
