Yield Enhancement Strategies

In order to safely increase the yield of our portfolio, we look for unique bonds that are implicitly or explicitly guaranteed by the federal government or a provincial government. These issues have unique structures, with many of them related to specific projects. These bonds pay a higher yield than standard bonds and include the following:

• Canada Housing Trust
• CMHC-insured Mortgage Backed Securities
• Infrastructure
• School boards
• Hospitals
• Universities
