Sentry Select Commodities Income Trust is a closed-end investment trust that aims to provide steady monthly income and potential capital appreciation through Canadian and international commodity investments.
Monthly distributions are generated by a diversified portfolio of Canadian income trusts expected to benefit from increases in commodity prices. The opportunity for capital appreciation is derived from exposure to the 35 commodities that constitute the Rogers International Commodity Index.
Investors benefit in several key ways:• Attractive monthly income, with distributions providing an initial cash yield of 6.75 per cent per year• Participation in the commodities bull market, driven by such factors as strong economic growth in Asia and tight worldwide supplies • Exposure to the acclaimed Rogers International Commodity Index, which has significantly outpaced all other major commodity indexesThe Trust meets the needs of investors looking to enhance their portfolio diversification with a distinct asset class with a low correlation to equities and bonds. As a result, commodities can provide increased return potential and diversification within a well-balanced portfolio.
