Investment Objectives

Dynamic Premium Yield Fund seeks to achieve high income and long-term capital appreciation primarily by writing put options on equity securities to collect premiums, investing directly in equity securities and/or writing call options on these securities. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objectives of the Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required. This approval must be given by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of unitholders

Investment Strategy

The Fund uses a broad range of options strategies to produce high-level income, offer long-term capital appreciation and preserve capital. The investment process is based on fundamental analysis and is further enhanced by proprietary options and volatility analysis. The Fund will seek attractive investment candidates using fundamental analysis and evaluate the financial condition and management of each company, its industry and the overall economy.
