Investment Objective
The Bond Basket Private Pool (referred to hereafter as the “Private Pool”) is mainly composed of investment grade bonds. The portfolio manager will adjust his strategy according to the direction of interest rates, generally shortening duration when interest rates go up and increasing it when rates go down. The portfolio manager will also look for the best corporate bonds and take advantage of credit spreads between government and corporate bonds. In addition, the manager will look for companies with credit ratings that can improve. Your investment advisor may provide you with a complete Investment Policy Statement.

A word about tax
In general, you’ll have to pay income tax on any gain and revenue generated from your investment. How much you pay depends on the tax laws that are applicable in the area you live in and whether or not you hold the investment in a registered plan, such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan or a Tax-Free Savings Account. Keep in mind that if you hold your investment in a non-registered account, fund distributions or capital gains are included in your taxable income; whether they are paid, accrued or reinvested.
