Fund Objectives

The main objective of the Fund is to invest in a mix of short-term securities to provide the best possible returns under current market conditions, while offering a high level of security to unitholders. The Fund invests in secure debt instruments such as Government of Canada Treasury-Bills, Bankers Acceptances, and Commercial Paper. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio will be maintained at less than 90 days, and will fluctuate depending on interest rate conditions. Shorter terms allow timely reinvestment at higher rates when interest rates are moving up, while longer terms lock in higher returns when interest rates are declining.
