Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to provide long-term returns and a steady flow of income. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian and U.S. investment grade corporate and high yield bonds. The fundamental investment objective of the Fund cannot be changed without the approval of investors who own securities in the Fund.

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 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.
