Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Fund is to generate attractive long-term total returns through income and capital appreciation while mitigating volatility through hedging strategies. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian and U.S. investment grade corporate and high yield fixed income securities. The Fund will use derivatives from time to time to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies, interest rates, and/or credit markets.

Investment Strategy

The investment grade corporate bond component of the Fund will be managed based on a combination of top-down macroeconomic research and bottom-up fundamental credit analysis. This approach has a greater emphasis on sector, credit quality and security selection. In-depth credit analysis is complemented with the extensive use of external management interviews in the selection of holdings in the portfolio.
