Investment Objectives

Dynamic Precious Metals Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily, directly or indirectly, in precious metals on a global basis. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objective of the Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required. This approval must be given by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of unitholders.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities on a global basis in businesses engaged in precious metals activities. The Fund may also invest in gold, silver, platinum, palladium in the form of bullion, coins and storage receipts as a way to maintain liquidity. As a result of this specialized investment mandate, the Fund may be subject to pronounced cycles and widely varying conditions in the stock markets.
