Scotia Caribbean Income Fund

Investment objective

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide income and modest capital appreciation over the medium to long-term.

The Fund invests primarily in high quality US Dollar denominated fixed income securities issued by governments and corporations from the Caribbean region. The portfolio manager primarily uses yield curve and credit analysis to select individual investments and to manage the Fund.

Fund risk: low-med

    Reasons for investing

  • Diversification in growing economic regions, leveraging potentially higher yields than US investment grade debt.
  •  A consistent stream of income with beneficial tax treatment.
  • Potential hedge against local currency devaluation and inflation, by investing in US dollar-denominated assets.
