Investment Objectives

The objective of the fund is to provide high current income and some long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in bonds, debentures, notes, revenue bonds and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities of Canadian corporate entities.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio advisor employs fundamental analysis in selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in non-investment-grade debt instruments. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in debt instruments issued in foreign currencies, including those issued in either developed or emerging markets currencies. It may exceed this threshold from time to time. The Fund may invest in syndicated loans.
