Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Fund is to generate a relatively high level of total investment return by investing primarily in bonds of Canadian governments and companies using a responsible investing approach. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund may only be changed with the approval of a majority of the unitholders, given at a meeting called for that purpose.

Investment Strategy

The investments of the Fund are primarily bonds of Canadian governments and companies which do not mature for at least one year and with a rating not lower than BBB by an approved credit rating agency. The Fund may also invest in bonds or other debt instruments which are issued or guaranteed by international or supranational agencies, such as the World Bank, and other foreign issuers. The average term to maturity of the Fund’s portfolio is typically five to twelve years.
