Investment Objectives

The Fund’s objective is to seek to generate income while preserving investor capital by investing primarily in preferred securities of Canadian issuers that are listed on a Canadian stock exchange. The investment objective of the Fund can only be changed with the approval of a majority of the Unitholders at a meeting called for such purpose.

Investment Strategy

In order to achieve its investment objective, the Fund invests primarily in preferred shares of Canadian issuers listed in Canada, using fundamental and credit research. The Fund may also invest in other income-generating securities. The Fund is actively managed and seeks to invest in mispriced securities (as determined by the portfolio manager) within the preferred share market in order to achieve additional income and/or capital appreciation.
