Investment Objectives

The fund seeks to provide unitholders with (i) with a regular stream of monthly distributions and (ii) opportunity for capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. dollar denominated investment grade preferred securities.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its investment objectives the fund will invest primarily in a portfolio of U.S. investment grade preferred securities of issuers that the investment sub-advisor or the manager believes have strong fundamentals and are priced at attractive relative valuations and will be actively managed by the investment sub-advisor. Preferred securities are primarily issued by companies in the financial sector and, to a lesser degree, by companies in other sectors, such as industrials and utilities.
