Investment Objectives

To achieve a combination of income and long-term capital preservation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment grade Canadian bonds. In addition, up to 30 percent of the portfolio may be invested in income producing equity securities, such as common shares of Canadian companies that pay dividends, real estate investment trusts, preferred shares and income trusts.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio manager utilizes interest rate anticipation, credit sector and security selection strategies in the context of a long term, bottom–up, value-oriented approach. The approach for fixed income securities is conservative in nature and is based upon an overall forecast derived from both macroeconomic and technical analysis with the selection of bonds based upon optimal risk/return characteristics.
