Fund Features

Objectives

Mulvihill Canadian Bank Enhanced Yield ETF seeks to provide the Unitholders with long-term capital appreciation through exposure to a portfolio consisting principally of common shares of Bank of Montreal, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada, The Toronto-Dominion Bank and National Bank of Canada and pay monthly cash distributions.

 

Investment Strategy

The fund will invest, primarily in the common shares of the "Big Six" Canadian Banks. The fund will use modest leverage of 25% to enhance the dividend yields of the underlying stocks and provides additional return potential. Option writing strategies are utilized to enhance portfolio income. The fund will, from time to time employ various investment strategies (described below), including the use of derivative instruments to generate income, reduce portfolio volatility and protect capital. The fund seeks to pay monthly distributions, targeting a 7% yield per annum, with additional capital growth potential beyond such yield target.

The fund may (a) from time to time in response to market conditions write covered call options on individual securities to seek to receive premium income, reduce overall portfolio volatility and enhance the portfolio’s total return, (b) from time to time in response to market conditions write cash-covered put options in respect of individual securities that the fund is permitted to hold and in respect of market indices, in order to receive premium income, reduce overall portfolio volatility and reduce the net cost of acquiring the securities subject to put options, (c) purchase call options in respect of securities in which the fund is permitted to invest, (d) purchase put options on individual securities in its portfolio, indexed put options and unleveraged inverse exchange traded funds that provide exposure to such securities, (e) use derivatives, including but not limited to options, forward contracts, futures contracts and swaps for both hedging and non-hedging purposes to generate income, hedge against losses from changes in the prices of the fund’s investments and market declines (f) hold cash or cash equivalents for strategic reasons or to provide cover for the writing of cash covered put options in respect of securities in which the fund is permitted to invest. Options may be either exchange traded or over-the-counter options.

 

Distributions

The Fund expects to make distributions monthly that may consist of net income, net realized capital gains and/or return of capital, if any.

Investment Manager

The Investment Manager is responsible for making all investment decisions and managing the call option writing program in accordance with the investment objectives, strategies and restrictions of the Fund. Fees for the provision of investment management services are included in the management fee.

The Investment Manager has an asset mix committee consisting of senior members of the firm. The investment process for the Fund begins at the asset mix committee. Members of this committee meet monthly to examine macro-economic variables and relationships among dominant economic factors. This process culminates in an outlook for the various capital markets around the world and provides the Fundamental basis for Mulvihill’s long-term market outlook. These views are integrated into the investment decision making process at the portfolio management level. The asset mix committee of Mulvihill oversees investment decisions made by the portfolio managers of the Fund.

 

Independent Review Committee

The Fund has established an Independent Review Committee (“IRC”) in accordance with National Instrument 81-107 – Independent Review Committee for Investment Funds (“NI 81-107”) which is comprised of three members who are independent of the Manager. The mandate of the IRC is to review and provide its decisions to the Manager regarding any conflict of interest matters relating to its management of the Fund that the Manager has identified and brought to the committee.

A conflict of interest matter is a situation where a reasonable person would consider the Manager or an entity related to it to have an interest that may conflict with the Manager’s ability to act in good faith and in the best interests of the Funds and Securityholders.
