DGS.PR.A Annual Report 2012

Dividend Growth Split Corp. has released its Annual Report to December 31, 2012.

DGS / DGS.PR.A Performance
Instrument One
Year

Years
Whole Unit +13.2% +7.8%
DGS.PR.A +5.4% +5.4%
DGS +26.3% +11.4%
S&P/TSX Composite Index +7.2% +4.8%

I think a dividend-tilting index would have been a more appropriate benchmark for this fund than the Composite, but we’ll let that go.

Figures of interest are:

MER: 1.06% of the whole unit value

Average Net Assets: The Net Asset Value at year end was $106.7-million, compared to $104.7-million a year prior, so call it an average of $105.7-million.

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Dividends and interest received of $4.77-million divided by average net assets of $105.7-million is 4.5%.

Income Coverage: Dividends and Securities Lending Income of $4.77-million less expenses of $1.11-million is $3.66-million, to cover preferred dividends of $3.35-million is 109%.
