IA Clarington Strategic Income Fund

The IA Clarington Strategic Income Fund is a diversified, actively managed balanced fund designed to provide a consistent stream of income while also pursuing capital appreciation. Its portfolio primarily consists of Canadian equities and fixed income instruments, with the flexibility to allocate up to 49% of assets to foreign securities. This broad mandate enables the fund manager to adjust asset allocations based on evolving market conditions, giving the fund a dynamic risk and return profile. A notable feature is its inclusion of high-yield corporate bonds, which can offer enhanced yield potential and reduce sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations compared to funds focused solely on investment-grade bonds. The fund distributes income monthly on a variable basis, and its active management approach emphasizes safety of income, rigorous security selection, and responsiveness to macroeconomic trends. Positioned within the Canadian neutral balanced category, the asset serves investors seeking a blend of income generation and long-term growth through an unbiased mix of stocks and bonds, under the stewardship of an experienced portfolio management team.
