Investment Objectives

Dynamic U.S. Strategic Yield Fund (formerly Dynamic U.S. Monthly Income Fund) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income by investing primarily in a broad range of U.S. equity and debt securities, focusing on a value investment approach when selecting equity securities. Before a fundamental change is made to the investment objectives of the Fund, the prior approval of unitholders is required.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its investment objectives, the Fund will flexibly allocate between a broad range of primarily U.S. equity and debt securities depending on economic and market conditions. In the equity portfolio, the Fund may invest in a wide range of asset classes including income distributing securities without restrictions on sector or market capitalization. Investment analysis follows a bottom-up approach which emphasizes careful company specific analysis.
