Low Volatility U.S. Equity Income Fund Files Final Prospectus

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 27, 2013) - Strathbridge Asset Management Inc. ("Strathbridge" or the "Manager") is pleased to announce that the Low Volatility U.S. Equity Income Fund (the "Fund") has filed and received a receipt for its final prospectus from the securities regulatory authority in each province of Canada for a maximum offering size of $50 million. The Fund is offering trust units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the units under the ticker symbol LVU.UN.

The Fund is designed to provide investors with an actively managed investment in the common shares of low volatility, large capitalization, U.S. companies while mitigating downside risk and paying a monthly cash distribution. The Fund's investment objectives are:

    (i)   to maximize risk adjusted returns for unitholders; and            
    (ii)  to pay unitholders monthly cash distributions in an amount        
          targeted to be 5.0% per annum on the NAV per unit.                

The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objectives by actively investing in a conservative portfolio consisting of large capitalization equity securities selected from the S&P 100 Index, a subset of the S&P 500 Index containing the largest issuers by market capitalization, with a beta of less than 1.0. Beta is a financial term used as a measure of a security's or a portfolio's return in relation to the market. A beta of less than 1.0 indicates that the price of a security will generally vary to a lesser extent than the movement of the market and a beta of greater than 1.0 indicates that the price of a security will generally vary to a greater extent than the movement of the market. The Fund will utilize a selective covered call option writing strategy designed to enhance portfolio income and mitigate downside risk.

If the Investment Universe was established on February 21, 2013, it would have consisted of 48 securities screened from the S&P 100 Index, and which have a beta of less than 1.0. The Portfolio will generally consist of 20 to 30 equity securities of issuers selected from the Investment Universe.
