Sentry Select Mining Opportunities Class aims to provide capital appreciation by investing primarily in companies involved in base and precious metals, and minerals.
The Fund focuses on companies engaged in the exploration, development and production of base metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper, nickel, lead and uranium, and, to a lesser extent, precious metals and minerals, such as gold and diamonds.
Investors can benefit in several key ways:
• Long-term capital appreciation in sectors with the potential for above-market performance based on rising demand and tight worldwide supplies
• A hedge against inflation
• Daily liquidity at the net asset value (NAV)
The Fund meets the needs of investors seeking to enhance portfolio diversification. As an asset class with a low correlation to stocks and bonds, metals and minerals can provide increased return potential and diversification within a well-balanced portfolio.
