Investment Objectives

The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide investors with a high yield by investing primarily in, or obtaining exposure primarily to, fixed income securities of corporate issuers located in Canada or the United States.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the fund has entered into a forward agreement with another party under which the other party will buy Canadian shares owned by the fund for a price determined by the value of units of the reference fund. This provides the fund with economic returns similar to that of the reference fund. The fund may use derivatives from time to time for hedging and other non-hedging purposes.
