Product overview


Sentry Select Growth and Income Fund’s investment objective is to seek a balance of current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying and/or distribution-paying North American equity and income securities, including income trusts, common and preferred shares and, to a lesser extent, interest-bearing securities, such as bonds, bills or bankers acceptances. The Fund intends to pay regular, tax-efficient monthly distributions, targeted at 8% per annum.

Portfolio managers use techniques such as fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis to assess the growth and value potential of each potential investment. This means evaluating the financial condition and management of each company, its industry and the overall economy.

Investors benefit in several key ways:

  • Higher yield and greater tax-efficiency than bonds and GICs
  • 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 and the potential for long-term capital appreciation. Investors seeking additional growth can have monthly distributions automatically reinvested to purchase additional units of the Fund, ensuring increased growth through compounding.
