Investment Objectives
The objective of the Fund is to provide income generation with long-term capital preservation. The Fund will invest for high long-term returns from both capital and income returns from bonds and debentures of Canadian government and corporate issuers. Treasury bills or other short-term investments may be used from time to time.
Investment Strategy
The Fund strives to keep fully invested; investments in short-term securities are minimal. A minimum of 30% must be invested in Government of Canada bonds. Only Canadian dollar denominated bonds from Canadian and foreign issuers are used. The weighted average credit quality must be AA or higher. The average duration will be kept within 0.5 years of the benchmark. The benchmark for this Fund is the DEX Universe Bond Index.
