Investment Objectives
The primary objective of the Fund is to provide investors with a higher level of income by investing primarily in mid-term investment grade corporate bonds.
Investment Strategy
We use a pro-active, disciplined management approach while employing proprietary analytical tools to identify corporate bond investments that offer value on a relative basis with a view to maximizing current income. We adhere to a risk management process that is designed to limit total exposure to individual issuers, diversify exposure to various term maturities and credit risks, and maintain portfolio liquidity.
