Announces Year End Results
(For Release 4 p.m. EDT, April 2, 2002)

Toronto, April 2, 2002: Mulvihill Premium Global Plus Fund announces results for the year ended December 31, 2001. Total results from financial operations amounted to a loss of $5.9 million or $1.21 per unit, which includes both realized and unrealized capital gains and losses. Net assets decreased from $105.1 million to $89.7 million. Distributions to Unitholders amounted to $9.7 million or $2.00 per unit.

The Trust's strategy is to invest net proceeds from this offering in a diversified portfolio (the "Portfolio") consisting principally of common shares issued by corporations selected from the Standard & Poor's 100 Index and American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") of the top 100 corporations selected on the basis of market capitalization whose ADRs are trading on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. In addition, in order to provide further global investment opportunities, the Trust may, from time to time, invest up to a maximum of 25% of its net asset value in World Equity Benchmark Shares that seek to provide investment results that track the performance of a specific country index compiled by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. To generate additional returns above the dividend income earned on the portfolio, the Trust may from time to time, write covered call options in respect of all or part of the common shares in the portfolio. In addition, the Trust may write cash covered put options in respect of securities in which the Trust is permitted to invest.

Unitholders of Mulvihill Premium Global Plus Fund may elect to have their distributions re-invested into additional Units by enrolling in the Trust's Distribution Reinvestment Plan. Unitholders should contact their broker of the Plan Agent (Computer Share) to enroll in the plan.

The Trust's investment portfolio is managed by its investment manager, Mulvihill Capital Management Inc.. Trust Units are listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GIP.UN.
