Investment Objectives

The fund’s objective is to earn a high level of dividend income with some potential for long-term capital growth. It invests primarily in dividend-paying common shares and in a broad range of preferred shares, such as floating rate, convertible and retractable preferred shares of Canadian companies.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio adviser uses fundamental analysis to identify investments that pay dividends and income and have the potential for capital growth over the long term. This involves evaluating the financial condition and management of each company, as well as its industry and the economy. The Fund’s assets are diversified by industry and company to help reduce risk.
