MAPF is, of course, Malachite Aggressive Preferred Fund, a &#8220;unit trust&#8221; managed by Hymas Investment Management Inc. Further information and links to performance, audited financials and subscription information are available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.himivest.com\/malachite\/MAPFMain.php\">the fund&#8217;s web page<\/a>. A &#8220;unit trust&#8221; is like a regular mutual fund,\u00a0but is sold by offering memorandum rather than prospectus. This is cheaper, but means subscription is restricted to &#8220;accredited investors&#8221; (as defined by the Ontario Securities Commission) and those\u00a0who subscribe for $150,000+.\u00a0Fund past performances are not a guarantee of future performance. You can lose money investing in MAPF or any other fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been a fair number of changes in portfolio composition since the April 30 analysis.
