Description

The fund provides exposure to long-term Canadian bonds issued domestically in Canada and denominated in Canadian dollars. The fund selects a broadly diversified range of bonds, which may include federal, provincial, corporate, and municipal bonds. The index consists of semi-annual pay fixed rate bonds with an investment grade rating and remaining maturity of at least 10 years. Constituents are weighted by market value. If it is not possible or practical to hold the securities from the index, the fund may utilize a representative sampling approach in which securities are chosen to provide the same investment characteristics as the index. The index is rebalanced daily.
