Creststreet Dividend & Income Fund Declares Monthly Distribution
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2012 /CNW/ - Creststreet Dividend & Income Fund (the "Fund"), a class of Creststreet Mutual Funds Limited, is pleased to announce that a distribution in the amount of $0.034 per share will be paid on November 30, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2012. This is a monthly declaration of a distribution for the Fund and will be taxed as a capital gain in the hands of the investor. Distributions are automatically re-invested in additional shares of the Fund. To change the distribution type to cash would require notice on the part of the investor.
The Fund's objective is to provide a high level of stable investment returns through a combination of interest, dividends and capital gains while emphasizing capital preservation. The Fund invests a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities of primarily Canadian issuers which will include income trusts including one or more of business income trusts, convertible debentures of trusts, oil and gas trusts and real estate investment trusts. The Fund will employ a value-based approach to investing with an emphasis on long-term value. This involves direct assessments and detailed analysis on a company basis of management, its industry, business and asset strengths, weaknesses and exposures. Greater emphasis will be placed on valuation criteria applicable to both corporations and trusts such as EBITDA multiples, cash flow multiples, net asset values and other industry specific measures. In addition, security specific factors such as cash-on-cash yields and stability ratings will be included. Assessments of the company's or trust's industry position, balance sheet strength, future growth potential, its ability to execute successful acquisitions and its access to capital are also key components. Any distributions that are made by the Fund that are in excess of the Fund's cumulative income generated since the Fund's inception represent a return of an investor's capital. The fundcodes for the Fund are CAM300, CAM301 and CAM302.
In connection with the previously announced agreement between Creststreet Asset Management Limited ("Creststreet") and Brompton Funds Limited ("Brompton"), Brompton will acquire, among other things, the rights to provide management and administration and portfolio management services to the Creststreet Dividend & Income Fund, on or about November 30, 2012.
