The fund seeks total return by holding investment grade, CAD-denominated core debt securities of various maturities from every sector of the bond market. The fund utilizes top-down strategies focused on duration, yield curve positioning, volatility, and sector rotation, as well as bottom-up strategies for selection and identifying undervalued securities. The approach aims to add value over time within acceptable levels of risk. The fund may invest up to 5% in junk bonds and 10% in issuers from emerging markets. Fixed income instruments denominated in foreign currencies will be more no than 30% based on duration-weighted exposure. The actively managed fund allows the portfolio managers full discretion to make any investment decision at any time. The fund could engage in short selling, securities lending, derivatives, as well as repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions. Prior to Aug. 16, 2024, the fund was named PIMCO Canadian Total Return Bond Fund.
