Investment Objectives

Dynamic Dividend Fund seeks to provide dividend income through investment primarily in equity securities of Canadian companies. 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

To achieve its mandate, the Fund invests primarily in securities of dividend or distribution paying Canadian businesses (including investment trusts) without restriction as to sector. The portfolio advisor primarily uses a bottom-up approach, seeking to identify preferred and equity securities, issued by stable companies. In order to maximize yield while minimizing risk, the portfolio advisor evaluates the financial condition and management of each company, its industry and the overall economy.
