To achieve long-term total returns consisting of: > regular dividend income, which benefits from the preferential tax treatment given to dividend income; and > modest long-term capital growth. The fund invests primarily in common and preferred shares of major Canadian companies with above average dividend yields. We will not change the fundamental investment objectives of the fund unless we have the consent of a majority of the voting unitholders of the fund to do so.
