Investment Objectives

Dynamic Advantage Bond Fund seeks to provide income while preserving capital through strategic investment in a diversified portfolio of primarily Canadian fixed income securities. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objective of the Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required. This approval must be given by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of unitholders

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in Canadian fixed income securities within a diversified portfolio. Securities may include but are not limited to federal and provincial government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, real return bonds, high yield bonds, floating rate notes and convertible debentures. An active asset allocation strategy will be utilized based on the portfolio advisor’s outlook for interest rates, the credit cycle and general economic conditions.
