Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objectives are to provide current income with the potential for capital gains. The Fund will invest primarily its assets in fixed income instruments from both developed and emerging markets. The Fund follows a responsible approach to investing, as described on pages 74 to 79 of this prospectus. Unitholder approval (by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of unitholders) is required prior to a fundamental change of investment objectives.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio Sub-Advisor evaluates each security based on the yield specific to various categories of issuers. Only securities that meet the Portfolio Sub-Advisor’s evaluation criteria are considered for inclusion in the portfolio. The Fund may invest in a diversified mix of fixed income securities, ETFs and mutual funds. The Fund’s securities are selected based on their expected return, volatility and correlation while accounting for other qualitative factors.
