Investment Objectives

The primary objective of the Fund is to provide exposure, directly or indirectly, to a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of Canadian-dollar denominated investment grade bonds, segmented into three groupings with maturities from one to three years that will provide regular income.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will achieve exposure to Canadian-dollar denominated investment grade bonds by investing primarily in an equally weighted portfolio of three Funds with remaining terms to maturity of one to three years. Upon termination each year of the nearest term Fund, the cash proceeds received will be invested into a longer-dated Fund to maintain the one to three-year ladder. The portfolio holdings will be rebalanced from time to time.
