Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objectives of the Fund are to provide relatively high yields and stability of capital by investing primarily in a well-diversified portfolio of fixed income securities issued by Canadian governments and corporations.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the Fund’s investment objectives, we invest primarily in high-quality Canadian corporate bonds and government bonds issued in Canadian or U.S. dollars. In addition, we may also invest in asset-backed commercial paper. The Fund maintains an average term to maturity similar to the FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index. We incorporate material ESG factors as part of the investment process to consider issuers’ oversight and management of these material ESG factors.
