Investment Objectives

To provide total returns comprised of interest income and capital growth while minimizing the exposure to currency fluctuations between foreign currencies and the Canadian dollar. The fund invests primarily in government debt securities of emerging market countries and may also invest in emerging market corporate bonds and government debt securities of developed countries.

Investment Strategy

It is currently expected that the fund will invest up to 100% of its net assets in units of the RBC Emerging Markets Bond Fund (the underlying fund). The fund also employs strategies to minimize the effect on the fund of currency fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar.
