The fund offers inflation-protected income by tracking an index of treasury inflation-protected securities issued in the US with at least one year to maturity. It is designed for investors with low to medium risk appetite by exclusively investing in bonds with investment-grade credit ratings that are denominated in USD. Although the fund aims to hold its constituents in parallel proportions as they are reflected in the index, the manager may also opt to use a sampling strategy and hold other bonds to obtain exposure to the performance of the index. The fund is also offered in USD units, CAD unites, and CAD-hedged units. The index is market value-weighted and is rebalanced monthly.
