AIC Global Premium Dividend Income Corporate Class (formerly known as AIC Global Diversified Corporate Class)

Investment Objective

The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to protect capital and achieve maximum long-term capital growth by benefiting from diversification which global capital markets offer to investors by investing primarily in equity securities of companies operating in world markets.

How the Fund is Managed

The Fund was created to provide investors with exposure to some of the world’s leading dividend-paying issuers.
The Fund’s focus is on absolute returns although it is also benchmarked against the MSCI World (Total Return) Index and the Dow Jones STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 (Total Return) Index.
The Fund is actively risk-managed with a view to reducing volatility via exposure to all or most of the 10 key industry sectors and will seek to achieve a weighted average dividend yield 50% above the dividend yield on the MSCI World Index.
Active currency hedging.
Selective use of options to generate additional returns and improve tax efficiency of distributions.
High quality weighted average credit rating of issuers in the Fund.

Key Reasons to Invest

Globally diversified portfolio comprising some of the world’s dominant dividend yielding companies, spread across several sectors.
International companies tend to possess higher dividend payouts than their North American peers.
Dividends provide investors with a degree of downside protection in more challenging equity markets, provided that the company’s underlying business remains stable.
Premium quality dividend-paying companies tend to experience consistent earnings growth and their total current payout is positively related to future earnings growth.
Taxable investors benefit from the Fund’s more than $100 million capital loss carry forward to offset future capital gains, such that on the assumption that distributions are 75% return of capital and 25% income, the 6% yield based on $10.00 unit price, equates to a pre-tax interest equivalent yield of 10.5% (based upon Ontario’s highest marginal tax rate).
Monthly income or reinvestment of tax-efficient distributions to purchase more units.
Currently high quality weighted average credit rating by S&P of “A.”
Currently hedged approximately 49% of Fund’s value back to the Canadian dollar.
Available in C$ and US$.
