Unitholders approve change in investment objective of Dynamic Equity Income
Fund
TORONTO, Oct. 13 /CNW/ - Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Ltd. ("Goodman & Company"), manager of Dynamic Equity Income Fund (the "Fund"), is pleased to announce that unitholders have today voted to approve the change in the investment objective and strategy of the Fund to allow the Fund to achieve high income and long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities that pay a dividend or distribution.
The Fund's new investment objective and strategy are expected to provide the Fund with greater flexibility to invest in other forms of issuers, such as corporations, in pursuing its mandate. These changes are in response to the amendments to the tax treatment of income trusts beginning in January 2011, whereby income trusts will be taxed at the same rate as corporations. Many income trusts are converting to corporations, thus reducing the number of income trusts available for the Fund to invest in.
