O'Leary Funds Reports Record Mutual Fund Sales for 2013

MONTREAL, Jan. 30, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - O'Leary Funds Management LP today announced gross sales of $275 million for its mutual fund business in 2013, another year over year sales record.

Gross sales in 2013 reached approximately $275 million, an increase of 129% compared to sales of $120 million in 2012. "By all accounts it was a very successful year," said Connor O'Brien, CEO of O'Leary Funds and President of Stanton Asset Management Inc., the portfolio advisor to the O'Leary family of funds. "Sales were strong across all strategies and regions, from our fixed income and equity funds, to our floating rate and balanced income solutions."

O'Leary Funds notably benefited from the introduction of its new O'Leary Floating Rate Income Fund, a product which received considerable attention from advisors following its launch in July. "We had already developed significant expertise with this asset class," said Mr. O'Brien, "and with economic conditions pointing to a rise in interest rates, it made sense to make the strategy available to mutual fund investors." After only six months of sales, the fund was among the firm's best sellers with new investor inflows in excess of $62 million at December 31, 2013.

During the year, the firm also broadened its advisor client base nationally, growing sales in every province, in part due to an expanded sales force. "Early indications are that sales will remain strong in 2014," said Stephen Crawford, Senior Vice-President, National Sales. "I would like to thank our network of investment advisors and their clients for their ongoing support as we pursue our mission to become Canada's leading destination for income investing. We are proud to be one of the few truly independent firms in the mutual fund space."
