Investment Objectives

The primary objective of the Fund is the preservation of capital together with earning income through investments in high quality, short-term fixed-income securities.

Investment Strategy

In order to qualify as a “money market fund” within the meaning of NI 81-102, the Fund has adopted the standard restrictions related to investments of money market funds set out in NI 81-102. We use fundamental analysis and other rational measures of value to identify and actively manage high quality, short-term (less than one year) fixed-income securities issued or guaranteed primarily by governments, Canadian corporations and Canadian chartered banks.
