The fund is actively managed to provide high-yield income and capital gains by investing in a portfolio of fixed income securities. The fund aims to achieve this by using a multi-layered approach which seeks to minimize volatility, drawdowns and credit risk. This fund implements proprietary risk models and quantitative techniques to target a risk profile while a systematic approach is used for security selection and sector allocation. The fund uses derivatives to attempt to achieve a desired risk exposure and/or minimize the exposure to currency fluctuations between developed market foreign currencies (such as the USD) and the CAD.
