Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Fund is to obtain a relatively high level of current interest income consistent with preserving capital and maintaining liquidity by investing primarily in Canadian short-term debt instruments 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 Fund invests primarily in high-quality debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the Government of Canada, provincial or territorial governments or their agencies, Canadian chartered banks, Canadian loan or trust companies, and Canadian corporations. 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.
