Product overview


Sentry Select Canadian Income Fund / Class aims to provide a consistent monthly income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian securities including equities, fixed-income instruments, REITs and income trusts. The Fund was awarded the 2005 Canadian Income Trust Fund of the Year Award and was also a finalist in 2006*, 2007, and 2008.

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

The Fund meets the needs of investors requiring a steady, tax-efficient income stream. Investors seeking growth can have monthly distributions automatically reinvested to purchase additional units of the Fund, ensuring increased growth through compounding.
