Investment goal

The fund seeks to provide unitholders with a stream of current monthly income in U.S. dollars by investing primarily in senior floating rate loans, other floating rate securities and debt obligations of investment grade and non-investment grade North American and global corporate issuers.

Key reasons to invest

Diversification benefit from floating rate loans, which tend to have low correlations with most traditional asset classes.

Aims for yield enhancement over investment grade bonds with minimal interest rate risk.

Focus on preservation of capital through rigorous credit research in selecting bank loans, which are typically senior in a company’s capital structure and secured by collateral.

USD exposure through U.S.-denominated holdings targeting regular, monthly USD income.

Disclaimers

Periodically, specific securities in the Portfolio section may not be disclosed, as disclosure may impair the portfolio manager’s ability to transact the security, which may result in harm for the Fund and its unitholders. These are noted as "Undisclosed".

This fund is only eligible for non-registered accounts.

The NAV for IA Clarington U.S. Dollar Floating Rate Income Fund (the "U.S. Dollar Fund") is calculated in U.S. dollars. For this Fund, investments in non-U.S. based issuers (including Canadian issuers) may be purchased in currencies other than U.S. dollars. When these non-U.S. investments are purchased in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the value of the investment will be affected by the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the value of the other currency. If the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to the other currency but the value of the non-U.S. based investment otherwise remains constant, the value of the investment in U.S. dollars will have fallen. Similarly, if the value of the U.S. dollar has fallen relative to the other currency, the value of the U.S. Dollar Fund's investment will have increased.
