Sentry Select Small Cap Income Fund aims to provide consistent monthly income and potential capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-cap income trusts in the business, real estate, resources, and power and utilities sectors.
The portfolio manager uses fundamental analysis to identify undervalued prospects with good growth potential. High returns on capital, free cash flow and modest capital expenditure requirements are key attributes sought in small-cap trusts. The manager also selects smaller companies that are likely candidates for conversion to trusts.
Investors benefit in several key ways:
• Participation in small-cap trusts, an overlooked sector which offers attractive value and growth potential
• Higher yield and greater tax-efficiency than bonds and guaranteed investments
• Stable distributions, thanks to broadly diversified investments
• Potential long-term capital appreciation, with lower volatility than traditional small-cap equities
• Daily liquidity at the net asset value (NAV)
The Fund meets the needs of investors who seek high growth potential with consistent monthly distributions.
