TORONTO, April 26 /CNW/ - Dynamic Funds(R) ("Dynamic"), managed by Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Ltd., today announces the addition to the DynamicEdge line-up of three target date mandates, each available as both a corporate class and trust portfolio (the "Target Date Portfolios").

The DynamicEdge Portfolios now include both target date and fixed asset mix solutions.
