Investment Objectives

The objective of the Fund is to provide long-term returns and a steady flow of income. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian and U.S. investment grade corporate and high yield bonds.

Investment Strategy

The investment grade corporate bond component of the Fund will be managed based on a combination of top-down macroeconomic research and bottom-up fundamental credit analysis. This approach has a greater emphasis on sector, credit and security selection. The high yield component will be managed using fundamental credit analysis (bottom-up) to select those securities and sectors believed to be offering the best relative value.
