Product overview


Premier Value Income Trust is a closed-end investment trust designed to provide high levels of monthly income. Investments are primarily in high-quality oil and gas resource trusts, business trusts, real estate investment trusts, and power and utility trusts.

Portfolio managers conduct an in-depth analysis of more than 200 securities in the trust sector, selecting trusts with high returns on equity and capital. The focus is always on underlying companies able to generate steady cash flow to pay distributions.

Investors benefit in several key ways:
• Higher yield and greater tax efficiency than bonds and guaranteed investments
• Stable distributions, thanks to broadly diversified investments
• Potential long-term capital appreciation, with lower volatility than traditional equities

The Trust meets the needs of investors requiring a steady income stream with tax advantages. It suits anyone interested in a professionally managed diversified product, working equally well in conservative, balanced or growth portfolios.
