Investment Objectives

This fund’s objective is to provide strong risk-adjusted total returns by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of preferred shares, from both Canadian and foreign issuers. Any change to the fundamental investment objective must be approved by a majority of votes cast at a meeting of unitholders held for that reason.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio advisor aims to identify preferred share investment in quality, large corporations, which have shown a history of dividend stability and then considers the impact of economic trends. According to market conditions, the portfolio advisor may also choose to invest up to 10% of the fund’s assets in fixed-income. The portfolio advisor may use techniques such as fundamental analysis to assess growth and value potential.
