TORONTO, Feb. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - AlphaNorth 2011 Flow-Through Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is pleased to announce that effective February 22, 2013, it has completed the transfer of all of the assets of the Partnership to the newly launched AlphaNorth Resource Fund (the "Resource Fund"), a class of shares of AlphaNorth Mutual Funds Limited.

AlphaNorth Resource Fund

The Resource Fund, a class of AlphaNorth Mutual Funds Ltd., is an open-ended mutual fund available on FundSERV for purchase through Series A (ANF020) and Series F (ANF021) for fee based accounts.  Please note the rollover transfer was completed in exchange for series B shares (ANF040). The Resource Fund seeks to generate strong returns by investing in Canadian resource companies that offer attractive risk-reward characteristics.  In order to accomplish this objective the fund will focus primarily on Canadian junior and intermediate resource companies, however, up to 25% of the fund may be invested in foreign markets.

"Equities have lagged the underlying strength in many commodities," remarked Steven Palmer, President and CEO. "This is a timely launch as our bullish macro call presents a compelling risk/reward opportunity from current levels for resource equities." The Manager supports the view that small cap equities are the best performing asset class over the long-term, particularly following a period of significant decline as was the case in 2011 and 2012.

AlphaNorth Mutual Funds Limited

AlphaNorth Mutual Funds Ltd., also includes the AlphaNorth Growth Fund, available on FundSERV through Series A (ANF010) and Series F (ANF011). The multiple class structure of AlphaNorth Mutual Funds Ltd., allows investors to switch between the AlphaNorth Funds on a tax-deferred basis and reposition their investment portfolio to meet their individual investment requirements.  Tax liabilities incurred through capital gains may be deferred by remaining invested in the Resource Fund or Growth Fund.
