This Pool aims to provide a return similar to that of a Canadian fixed-income fund managed by Fidelity, less transaction and hedging costs. It invests primarily in equity securities issued by Canadian companies and enters into forward contracts in order to hedge its exposure to these equity securities and to provide the Pool with a return based on the performance of a Canadian fixed-income mutual fund managed by Fidelity. In addition or alternatively, it may use derivative arrangements to provide the Pool with a similar return. It may also invest directly in fixed-income securities issued by Canadian and foreign governments or companies.
