Performance for the returns of other casses of units offered by the Fund Many centra banks, incuding the Bank of Canada, eased monetary poicy at the beginning of the period in an effort to combat ow

ending its ongest period of inactivity since the 1950s This decision was made in response to the sharp drop in oi prices in ate 2014, which has been negative for growth and underying infation in Canada The European Centra Bank introduced quantitative easing, which contributed to ower, and in some cases negative, goba bond yieds In the second haf of the period, goba bond yieds moved higher, supported by evidence that the US economy was recovering from its earier weakness As the period ended, yieds were moderatey ower The Fund s strategy of significanty overweighting investment grade

add moderatey to the Fund s performance Investors improved their outook on Genera Cabe, stabiizing oi prices benefited Cafrac Hodings and an improved outook for goba growth boosted Lundin Mining s share price The Portfoio Advisor added Aimentation Couche-Tard Inc (360%, 2025/06/02), Gacier Credit Card Trust (224%, 2020/09/20) and The Toronto-Dominion Bank (169%, 2020/04/02) to the Fund to
