O'Leary Canadian Dividend Fund Celebrates 5 Years of Strong Performance and Lower Volatility

MONTREAL, April 22, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - O'Leary Funds Management LP announced that the O'Leary Canadian Dividend Fund completed its fifth year on April 7, 2015, providing a 5-year annualized performance of 10.5% (2.8% more than the S&P/TSX), yield above 2.9%¹ and lower volatility than the S&P/TSX.

"We are very proud to celebrate this milestone and the success of the fund. The O'Leary Canadian Dividend Fund is differentiated with greater focus on dividend growth, diversification across industry sectors and reduced investment risk. The fund has lower allocations to volatile resource sectors and interest rate sensitive financials, and higher allocations to both Canadian and U.S. equities in healthcare and consumer sectors. The fund also has an excellent history of investing in mid-cap and large-cap Canadian companies, based on research and security selection by our investment team" said Connor O'Brien, Chief Investment Officer of Stanton Asset Management, the portfolio advisor to the O'Leary family of funds. "We would like to thank the advisors and clients for the confidence they have placed with us."

"The fund remains differentiated from peers and the S&P/TSX Composite with an active share above 70 (70% differentiated from the index). We see this strategy continuing to drive strong risk adjusted returns for our investors," added Steve DiGregorio, Portfolio Manager – Equities of Stanton Asset Management.

"As an investor, I am very happy with the income, performance and protection of capital" added Kevin O'Leary, Chairman of O'Leary Funds. "Since inception of the fund over five years ago, although the Canadian equity market was sometimes down, the fund has been positive every calendar year, which is the kind of performance that investors really appreciate."

The O'Leary Canadian Dividend Fund is an important component of the O'Leary Conservative Income Fund, which also invests in the O'Leary Canadian Bond Yield Fund, a 2014 Lipper Funds Awards winner in the Canadian Fixed Income category².
