INVESTMENT DISCIPLINE

Marc-André Gaudreau and his team combine a top-down and bottom-up investment process to actively select securities that offer investors the greatest potential for strong risk-adjusted returns. The team selects securities based upon their independent fundamental credit analysis, while employing a capital preservation philosophy that results in a well-diversified, liquid portfolio. The Pool’s flexible mandate allows the manager to shift between different sub-classes of credit securities based upon his outlook for interest rates and credit markets. This allows the team to target higher yields and capital gains over the course of a credit cycle.

    • . Distributions may consist of net income, dividends, net realized capital gains, and/or return of capital. Distributions are not guaranteed and investors should not confuse a fund’s distribution yield with its performance or rate of return.

    • . The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in units [share] value and reinvestment of all distributions [dividends] and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any security holder that would have reduced returns.
