/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./

TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2013 /CNW/ - Strathbridge Asset Management Inc. (the "Manager") is pleased to announce that NDX Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund") has filed a preliminary prospectus for a public offering of units.

The Fund's investment objectives are to provide Unitholders with (i) stable quarterly cash distributions; and (ii) the opportunity for capital appreciation.

The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a portfolio consisting primarily of the top 20 highest yielding constituents of the NASDAQ-100 Index^SM. The NASDAQ 100 includes 100 of the largest U.S. domestic and international non-financial securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization. Each top 20 security held in the portfolio shall at the time of purchase have a weighting of between 3% and 7% of the fund's Net Asset Value. The portfolio will be reconstituted annually to include the then top 20 highest yielding securities of the NASDAQ 100.
