GUARDIAN INVESTMENT GRADE CORPORATE BOND FUND (CAD) GIGC.CA

The Guardian Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund is an actively managed fixed-income fund that seeks to provide investors with enhanced income by investing primarily in mid-term investment-grade corporate bonds.

Its strategy is built around active credit selection: Guardian Capital LP uses fundamental research and proprietary analytical tools to identify bond issues that offer relative value, with a view toward maximizing current income while managing risk through diversification across issuers, maturities, and credit qualities.

The fund's holdings are mainly bonds, notes, debentures, or other debt obligations issued by Canadian corporations, though it may also include similar securities from non-Canadian issuers. Mortgage-backed securities may be part of the portfolio.

The mandate focuses on maintaining liquidity and limiting exposure to any single issuer. The credit quality is generally investment grade. The vehicle is managed by Guardian Capital LP, part of Guardian Capital Group Limited, and is offered in multiple series including mutual fund and ETF share classes.

It does not track an external bond index; instead performance is driven by the manager's active decisions. The fund's type is fixed income (corporate bond), structured under Canadian regulatory regime.
