Distribution Policy
Distributions will be declared and paid quarterly on the Units
based on distributions/dividends received on the Portfolio less
estimated expenses. For historical distribution amounts, please see distribution information.
Retraction Rights
The following provides a summary of the retraction rights
available to Unitholders. Please refer to the prospectus for complete
details.
Unlike most mutual funds the Units are listed allowing holders to
exit by selling their Units. In addition, they are also retractable at
any time. Because of the manner in which the retraction prices are
calculated, investors are almost always better off selling their Units
on the market rather than retracting them. It should be noted that all
the retractions listed below constitute a taxable disposition of the
Units at the time of the retraction whether the retraction is received
in the form of cash or portfolio shares.
Regular Retraction
Units may be surrendered for retraction at least 10 business days
prior to the 15 th of each month for payment on the last day of each
month or the preceding business day. Unitholders are entitled to receive
a redemption price equal to the lesser of (A) 96% of the weighted
average trading price of the Units on the TSX during the 15 trading days
preceding the applicable monthly retraction date, and (B) the
“closing market price” of the Units on the principal market
on which the Units are quoted for trading on the applicable monthly
retraction date. The “closing market price” shall be an
amount equal to (i) the closing price of the Units if there was a trade
on the applicable monthly retraction date and the market provides a
closing price; (ii) the average of the highest and lowest prices of the
Units if there was trading on the applicable monthly retraction date and
the market provides only the highest and lowest prices of the Units
traded on a particular day; or (iii) the average of the last bid and
last asking prices of the Units if there was no trading on the
applicable monthly retraction date.
Special Annual Retraction
The special annual retraction payment date occurs on
December 31st of each year. Units may be surrendered for retraction on
or before the close of business on the 10th business day prior to the
day which occurs on December 15 of each year. On the payment date Unitholders
are entitled to receive a cash retraction price per Unit equal to 100%
of the net realized proceeds per unit determined as of the Valuation
Date.
Redemption
The Trust is scheduled to wind up on December
31, 2013, and at that time, the Trust will distribute to Unitholders
their pro rata portion of the net assets of the Trust.
Taxation
A Unitholder will generally be required to include in computing
income for a taxation year the amount of the Trust's net income,
including net realized taxable capital gains, paid or payable to the
Unitholder in the taxation year. The non-taxable portion of the Trust's
net realized capital gains paid or payable (whether in cash or in Units)
to a Unitholder in a taxation year will not be included in the
Unitholder's income for the year.
On the disposition or deemed disposition of a Unit, the
Unitholder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent
that the Unitholder?s proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable
costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base
of the Units. For the purpose of determining the adjusted cost base to a
Unitholder, when a Unit is acquired, the cost of the newly acquired
Units will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all Units owned by
the Unitholder as capital property before that time.
