The fund seeks to provide total returns that primarily consist of interest income. It invests in a diversified portfolio of liquid short-term debt securities issued by Canadian and foreign corporations. The fund primarily invests in fixed income securities with a credit rating of BBB or higher. The portfolio may hold debt securities with a longer term-to-maturity as long as the average term-to-maturity of all the securities held in the portfolio at the time of purchase is approximately 18 months. The fund may invest in other floating rate debt securities and use derivatives such as forwards, options, and swaps for hedging purposes. As an actively managed fund, the adviser has the discretion to make necessary investment decisions to meet its objectives.
