Investment Objectives

The primary investment objective of the Fund is to maximize performance through current income and capital appreciation while maintaining safety of capital through direct and indirect investments primarily in corporate bonds, income trusts, and other income generating securities. The adviser may also choose to invest a portion of the assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and/or in securities issued by foreigners and may invest in other mutual funds.

Investment Strategy

The fund will primarily invest in credit focused fixed income securities issued anywhere in the world. The fund will be strategically invested in Canadian investment grade bonds, high-yield corporate bonds, and emerging-market debt but has the flexibility to invest in other fixed-income securities or instruments, including but not limited to, preferred shares, loans, floating-rate debt instruments, securitized debt (ABS, MBS, and CMBS) and other income-generating securities.
