Product overview


Sentry Select 40 Split Income Trust is a closed-end investment trust offering investors income and the potential for capital appreciation from investment in a stable, well-diversified portfolio. The offering consists of preferred shares and capital units.

The Trust’s portfolio investment guidelines are designed to limit portfolio risk, compared to passively managed products by limiting exposure to less stable securities, to any single issuer, and to the oil and gas sector as a whole.

Investors benefit in several key ways:
• Income and the potential for capital appreciation
• Proven investment management
• Disciplined, qualitative portfolio selection guidelines
• Conversion to open-end mutual fund after two years
