Investment Objectives

The fund seeks to provide shareholders with (i) high monthly income and (ii) long-term capital appreciation. The fund will achieve its investment objectives primarily by investing in the equity markets including by (i) writing cash covered put options to reduce the net cost of acquiring securities and receive premiums and (ii) directly investing in equity securities and writing call options on these securities to receive dividends and premiums.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its investment objectives, the fund uses primarily rules-based portfolio selection strategies to invest in a broad range of equity securities and cash in order to create value, generate income and reduce risk over the investment period. The fund also uses a broad range of derivative instruments in compliance with Canadian securities laws including options, futures contracts, warrants, forward contracts and swaps to enhance portfolio income, offer long-term capital appreciation.
