Fixed Income Securities. A Sub-Fund, where stated in Annex A, may invest in bonds or other fixed income securities, including, without limitation, commercial paper and "higher yielding" (including non-investment grade) (and, therefore, higher risk) debt securities. A Sub-Fund may therefore be subject to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks. Higher-yielding debt securities are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to certain other outstanding securities and obligations of the issuer, which may be secured on substantially all of the issuer's assets. The lower rating of debt obligations in the higher-yielding sector reflects a greater probability that adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer or in general economic conditions or both may impair the ability of the issuer to make payments of principal and interest. Non-investment grade debt securities may not be protected by financial covenants or limitations on additional indebtedness. In addition, evaluating credit risk for debt securities involves uncertainty because credit rating agencies throughout the world have different standards, making comparison across countries difficult. Also, the market for credit spreads is often inefficient and illiquid, making it difficult to accurately calculate discounting spreads for valuing financial instruments. It is likely that a major economic recession could disrupt severely the market for such securities and may have an adverse impact on the value of such securities. In addition, it is likely that any such economic downturn could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay principal and pay interest thereon and increase the incidence of default for such securities. Inflation Risk. Inflation may reduce the asset value of the investment. The purchasing power of the invested capital is reduced if the inflation rate is higher than the income generated by the investments. Leverage. Investments in a Sub-Fund may comprise elements of leverage through the use of derivative instruments which may potentially magnify losses and may result in losses greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Hedging. Hedging strategies in general are usually intended to limit or reduce investment risk, but they can also be expected to involve transaction costs, involve a risk of loss, may give rise to liquidity problems or may inherently limit or reduce the potential for profit. Currency Hedging. A Sub-Fund may enter into foreign currency forward contr...

Bonds or other fixed income securities, including, without limitation, bonds, notes and debentures issued by corporations, debt securities issued or guaranteed by the federal, state or provincial government in the United States or Canada or a governmental agency, and commercial paper pay fixed, variable or floating rates of interest. The value of fixed income securities will change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, the value of certain fixed-income securities can fluctuate in response to perceptions of credit worthiness, political stability or soundness of economic policies. Fixed income securities are subject to the risk of the issuer's inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk). If fixed income investments are not held to maturity, the value of your Portfolio may suffer a loss at the time of sale of such securities.

Fixed Income Securities. A fixed income security is an investment that provides a return in the form of fixed periodic payments and eventual return of principal at maturity. The day the fixed income investment is to be paid back is called the maturity date. Fixed income investments that mature within a year are often referred to as money market instruments. Trades typically settle in one business day but settlement can be required for the same day depending on the issuer. GICs, Treasury Bills, Bonds, Debentures and Preferred Shares are examples of fixed income securities. Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) - GICs are deposit instruments most commonly available from financial institutions, requiring a minimum investment at a pre-determined rate of interest, for a stated term. They are generally non-redeemable prior to maturity, but there can be exceptions. Treasury Bills - Treasury bills are short-term debt instruments issued by federal, provincial or municipal governments in large denominations and sold at a discount. Bonds & Debentures - A bond evidences the issuer's agreement to pay a specified rate of interest to the investor at intervals over a given period of time and to then repay the principal on the bond's maturity date. Bonds (other than government bonds) are secured with collateral, such as mortgages or future revenues. Debentures are similar to bonds, but are not backed by collateral. Instead, their security depends on the issuer’s creditworthiness.
