FUND FEATURES ::
Attractive Asset Classes

income trusts and high yield bonds represent high yielding asset classes that have in the past typically demonstrated attractive risk-return profiles and low correlations to one another. Effective allocation between these two asset classes may result in diminished volatility over the term of the Fund.
Risk Control Mechanism

the Fund will have the ability to use derivatives to hedge the portfolio against various risks, including interest rates, commodity prices and credit risks as well as exchange rate changes (with at least 50% of the Fund's foreign currency exposure hedged to the Canadian dollar). The Fund may also engage in short selling, limited to 10% of total assets, of securities that the Manager and the Sub-Advisor consider to be overvalued.
Leverage
- the Fund will utilize a prudent level of leverage in order to enhance the Fund's total return.

Mandatory Purchase Program

Liquidity
-units of the Fund can be sold on the Toronto Stock Exchange or commencing in November of 2006, redeemed at 100% of NAV per trust unit as of the date of redemption
