Distribution Policy
Distributions will be declared and paid monthly on the Units
based on distributions received on the portfolio less estimated expenses
and any taxes payable by the Trust. 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 once
annually.The special annual retraction date occurs on December 31st of
each year. On that date Unitholders are entitled to receive 100% of the
net realized proceeds per Unit retracted.
Redemption
The Trust is scheduled to wind up on April 29, 2013, and at that
time, the Trust will distribute to Unitholders their pro rata portion of
the net assets of the Trust unless Unitholders determine to continue the
Trust by a two-thirds majority vote at a meeting called for such
purpose.
Taxation
Distributions received by the Trust from the portfolio securities
will be distributed to the Unitholders monthly. Distributions received
from issuers in the portfolio securities have various tax treatments:
some are taxed as dividends, some as interest income and others as a
return of capital. Amounts received as a return of capital are not
taxable but must be used to reduce the adjusted cost base of an
investor?s Units. Dividends received by an individual are generally
subject to the normal gross-up and dividend tax-credit rules applicable
to dividends received on securities of a taxable Canadian Corporation.
The tax treatment and classification of revenue of distributions
received are reported by the underlying issuers in the portfolio
securities either at the time of declaration or on an annual basis.
A Unitholder will generally be required to include in the
calculation of income the net income and the net realized taxable
capital gains of the Trust paid or payable to the Unitholder in the
year. If the distributions by the Trust to a Unitholder in any year
exceed the net income and net realized capital gains of the Trust for
the year paid or payable to the Unitholder, such distributions will not
be taxable but will reduce the adjusted cost base of the Unitholder?s
Units. For a historical breakdown of distribution amounts, please see distribution information.
