Sentry Select Canadian Resource Class aims to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in the oil and gas, mining and minerals, and natural resources industries.
The portfolio manager seeks the best companies, focusing on essential elements such as strong fundamentals and management expertise. Sector weightings vary to take advantage of changes in market conditions or economic trends.
Investors benefit in several key ways:
• Participation in the positive long-term outlook for commodities, driven by factors such as strong economic growth in Asia and tight worldwide supplies
• Long-term capital appreciation in sectors with the potential for above-market performance
• A hedge against inflation, as resources tend to outperform in times of economic expansion
• Daily liquidity at the net asset value (NAV)
The Class meets the needs of investors seeking to enhance portfolio diversification. As a sector with a low to moderate correlation to other asset classes, resources can provide increased return potential and diversification within a well-balanced portfolio.
