Income Portfolio September 15, 2006 :

There have been a couple of changes to the income portfolio for September the two short term Farm Credit Corporation bonds due April 2007 and August 2008 have been sold. The proceeds have been reinvested in the following longer term bonds.

Bell Canada 5% February 15, 2017 purchased at $100.60 to yield 4.98% and

Province of Ontario Mid Term Note (MTN) 4.85% June 2, 2020 purchased at $104.21 to yield 4.48%.

 

The change is in anticipation of lower interest rates in Canada in the next year or so. These bonds should offer some potential for capital appreciation and offer higher yields than currently available on shorter term instruments.
