How we Structure our Portfolio
• Invest in a focused and thoroughly researched portfolio of investments, primarily A+ rated securities or better
• Portfolio typically consists of 15-20 credits due to the limited number of exceptional opportunities available
• Strategy is to maximize returns over the long-term, not provide a stable 1% per month

OBJECTIVE:
The philosophy of the Fund is to opportunistically invest in credit where attractive risk adjusted returns can be captured. We seek the best values within the corporate bond market, understand them within a variety of market environments, take positions when we believe they are attractive and exit these positions when we feel they become less appealing. The objective is to invest when spreads are compelling, not to invest for the sake of deploying cash. The intention is disciplined security selection, rather than interest rate prediction. Anomalies in specific securities or sectors are identified through a rigorous evaluation process that utilizes fundamental analysis, credit analysis, historic time series, swaps and relative value. Government bonds are sold against securities to hedge market risk.
INVESTMENTS:
The portfolio will be a combination of investment grade credit, governments and provincials.
