Aston Hill Capital Markets Inc. Announces Termination of U.S. Agency Mortgage-Backed REIT Advantaged Fund

TORONTO, July 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Aston Hill Capital Markets Inc. (the "Manager"), as Manager of the U.S. Agency Mortgage-Backed REIT Advantaged Fund (the "Fund"), announced today that the Fund has been terminated and delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). The decision to terminate the Fund was previously announced on April 28, 2016 following receipt of the most recent annual redemption requests. As a result of redemptions, the net asset size of the Fund has been reduced to a level below which, in the opinion of the Manager, it is no longer economically feasible to continue the Fund and it would be in the best interest of the unitholders to terminate the Fund.

The Fund will distribute in cash the net assets of the Fund to unitholders on a pro rata basis based on the net asset value per unit on or about June 30, 2016 (the "Termination Date"). Payment is expected to be made on July 6, 2016 or as soon as practicable following the Termination Date. Unitholders need not take any action to receive the payment.  Class A Units of U.S. Agency Mortgage-Backed REIT Advantaged Fund were listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol USM.UN.
