Investment Objectives

This fund's objective is to generate a high level of monthly distributions with moderate volatility by investing primarily in a portfolio of trust units, equity securities and fixed income securities.

Investment Strategy

These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests in common equities and real estate investment trusts, generally with large market capitalizations and above average dividend yields; may invest in fixed income securities, primarily consisting of Canadian government and corporate issues of any maturity or credit rating; may invest up to 20% of the fund’s assets in foreign securities; may use general ESG integration in the investment process.
