Investment Objectives

The fund's investment objective is to provide income by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance, net of fees, of a broad and recognized Canadian bond market index (the "Index"). The fund invests directly in fixed income securities included in the Index and/or may achieve indirect exposure to some or all of the Index by investing in exchange-traded funds, mutual funds or derivatives that are correlated to the performance of the Index.
