Description

This fund seeks to provide leveraged exposure to a market-cap weighted index of equity and equity-related securities of Canadian companies that are amongst the largest (in market-cap) and most liquid issuers listed on the TSX. Constituents are selected at the discretion of the index committee and weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. In order to mitigate risks and generate income, the index will generally write covered call options on 50% of the portfolios securities and may vary based on market volatility and other factors. To enhance returns, this fund employs an approximate 1.25x leverage through the use of cash borrowing.
