The fund provides exposure to an index of inflation-linked bonds issued by the US government. Eligible securities must be denominated in USD, have an effective time to maturity of at least 18 months for new issuers, and have a par amount outstanding of not less than 750 million USD. Constituents are market-cap weighted and rebalanced on a monthly basis. Derivatives may also be in the mix in seeking to hedge the USD exposure of the securities to the CAD. The fund is designed for investors with a low risk appetite who are seeking low cost exposure to a diversified portfolio of inflation-link sovereign debts in the US.
