Investment Objectives
The objective of this Fund is to provide unitholders with both a reasonable income return and long-term capital appreciation from a portfolio made up of Québec securities. Consequently, the Fund invests in various equity or debt securities issued by Québec companies, partnerships or cooperatives, in various debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Québec government or municipalities, or by other Québec public or para-public organizations, and in term deposits in Québec financial institutions.
Investment Strategy
For the management of fixed-income securities, the portfolio manager favours a management style that takes into account all of the risk factors for this type of security. Securities are selected from public, para-public and private securities issued by organizations that have their head office and principal decision-making centre in Québec.
