Investment Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of Sionna Strategic Income Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income by investing primarily in the equity securities of both Canadian companies and high-quality Canadian government and corporate fixed-income securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign companies and high-quality U.S. government and corporate fixed-income securities.

Investment Strategy

To achieve the Fund’s investment objective, Bridgehouse has selected two portfolio sub-advisors and allocates a portion of the Fund’s assets to each portfolio sub-advisor. Bridgehouse also allocates a portion of the Fund’s assets, typically 30-35%, to fixed income investments.
