Investment Objectives

Dynamic Dividend Advantage Fund seeks to provide income and long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of Canadian businesses that pay a dividend or distribution. 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 Canadian dividend paying equity securities and, to a lesser extent, in other securities (including fixed income securities) deemed desirable for dividend income, growth or capital preservation. Investment analysis for this Fund follows a bottom-up approach, which emphasizes careful company specific analysis.
