Investment Objectives
This fund's objective is to provide a high level of interest income along with some opportunity for growth by investing primarily in Canadian dollar denominated investment grade debt instruments.
Investment Strategy
These are the strategies the portfolio manager uses to try to achieve the fund’s objective: invests primarily in Canadian dollar denominated investment grade debt instruments such as debt securities issued or guaranteed by Canadian federal and provincial governments or issued by Canadian corporations; may also invest in non-investment grade debt instruments to add value and enhance the fund’s total return.
