Who is this fund for?

Investors who:
  • are seeking to invest in bonds as a way to diversify an equity portfolio
  • prefer to invest in government and government-guaranteed fixed-income securities only, since the fund does not invest in corporate bonds. This may reduce the risk and potential return of the fund
  • are seeking a combination of income and modest capital growth potential
  • are prepared to fully participate in both bond market upturns and downturns, as the fund is generally fully invested
  • are planning to hold the investment for the short-to-medium term

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus or Fund Facts document before investing. Except as otherwise noted, 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. The rates of return for periods of less than one year are simple rates of return. Mutual funds are not guaranteed or covered by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. For funds other than money market funds, unit values change frequently. For money market funds, there can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per unit at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you.
