Investment Strategy
The Fund manager believes long-term capital appreciation is a consequence of focusing on attractive “growth of dividend
Ensuring an above average distribution yield
The Fund will always hold a diversified portfolio of relatively high-yielding, high-quality, large capitalization, Canadian, dividend paying common equities. We then implement a conservative options writing program around the equity positions to further increase the current income yield.
Holding high-quality, global, dividend-paying equities
Our dividend focus will generate an income stream for the Fund and its investors. In the coming years, growing income – not fixed income – is the only means of maintaining purchasing power.
70 percent in Canadian equities
The Fund will invest 70% in Canadian equities.
Investor Suitability
