Investment Objectives

DXP seeks to provide dividend income while preserving capital by investing primarily in preferred shares of Canadian based businesses. Exposure to these types of securities will be obtained by investing primarily in Dynamic Active Preferred Shares Fund (the “Dynamic APS Fund”), and/or by investing directly in them, in securities of one or more Other Funds, and/or through the use of derivatives.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, DXP will invest primarily in preferred shares of Canadian companies. DXP may also invest in dividend paying common shares and other distribution paying equity securities, fixed income securities and interest earning securities. DXP may also (a) invest up to 49% of its assets in foreign securities and/or (b) hold cash and cash equivalents.
