TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Dynamic Funds, managed by GCIC Ltd., today announces the launch of Dynamic Premium Yield Fund. This innovative Fund has the ability to offer alternative income and diversification benefits when used in a traditional portfolio of equity and fixed income securities.
Dynamic Premium Yield Fund seeks to achieve high income and long-term capital appreciation primarily by writing put options on equity securities to collect premiums, investing directly in equity securities and/or writing call options on these securities. The Fund aims to select quality equity securities based on fundamental analysis and uses a variety of options strategies to generate income, capitalize on pricing discrepancies, or limit portfolio volatility. Oscar Belaiche and John Harris from Dynamic's award-winning Equity Income team will manage the Fund, with Damian Hoang working closely with them as a senior derivatives strategist.
"We are launching this Fund in response to advisors seeking a non-traditional strategy that can provide investors with a unique risk-reward profile while earning an attractive income stream, regardless of market environment," said Jordy Chilcott, President & Chief Executive Officer, GCIC Ltd. "We believe this Fund's approach to using options strategies, which combines fundamental, quantitative, technical, and volatility analysis, can act as an important tool in meeting a diverse set of client needs."
