Active And Strategic Fixed Income Team – Relative Value Universe

Investment approach

This actively managed strategy invests in physical and synthetic fixed income securities to take advantage of market anomalies on the various yield curves in North America while keeping a constant focus on long term capital preservation. The portfolio of physical securities generates a yield to maturity superior to its benchmark through a systematic bias on the yield curve dispersion and an overweight positioning in high quality credits. The portfolio of synthetic securities consists of several duration neutral strategies with a short-to-medium term horizon showing low correlation. The portfolio is built using a bottom‑up approach based on four types of analysis with a strong emphasis on risk management.

Please read the simplified prospectus before investing. The amount of risk associated with any particular investment depends largely on your own personal circumstances including your time horizon, liquidity needs, portfolio size, income, investment knowledge and attitude toward price fluctuations. Investors should consult their financial advisor before making a decision as to whether this fund is a suitable investment for them.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

The rate of return or mathematical table shown is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future values of the mutual fund or returns on investment in the mutual fund. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any unitholder that would have reduced returns.
