DF +39.44% +17.09% 23.58%
S&P/TSX 60 Index +13.40% +4.36% +9.65%

Using the S&P TSX 60 index rather than “Dividend Aristocrats” seems a little odd to me – but we’ll let them choose their benchmark!

Figures of interest are:

MER: 1.49% of the whole unit value (As reported)0.

Average Net Assets: The average of the beginning and end of year figures is ($378.1-million + $307.8-million) / 2 = $343-million. Total preferred share dividends = $8,890,054 at 0.525 / share implies average of 16.93-million units outstanding, at an average NAVPU of ($18.22 + $18.45) / 2 = 18.34, implies average net assets of $310-million. Not very good agreement! But call it about $327-million

Underlying Portfolio Yield: Dividends received of $12.13-million divided by average net assets of 327-million is 3.7%

Income Coverage: Net Investment Income of 7.23-million divided by Preferred Share Distributions of 8.89-million is 81%.
