The fund provides exposure to a portfolio of short-term investment grade corporate bonds issued in Canada through a passively-managed, index-sampling strategy. This means that the sub-advisor matches the funds investments to the primary risk factors and other key characteristics of the underlying index. Such bonds have a term to maturity between one and five years. Holdings are selected and weighted by market value. In all, the fund aims to provide current income with its high credit quality exposure to short-term bonds.
