Fund information

PowerShares Canadian Dividend Index Class

Investment Philosophy

The Fund seeks to replicate the Indxis Select Canadian Dividend Index, net of fees and expenses. The Index comprises companies incorporated in Canada that are traded on a major Canadian exchange and have had stable or increasing annual regular dividend payments for the past five or more consecutive years. To be included in the Index, a company must have paid the same or increasing regular cash dividend for five or more consecutive years.

Why invest in this fund

  • Historically, dividends have constituted a large component of a company's total return
  • The Fund offers focused exposure to dividend-paying companies while significantly reducing the company-specific risk of buying a single stock
  • The Fund offers many of the advantages of ETFs as well as lower fees than traditional mutual funds and daily disclosure of fund holdings
  • The Fund is part of a mutual fund corporation, offering investors in non-registered accounts additional tax benefits, as switches to other funds within the corporation can be made without triggering capital gains

Notice to users regarding commissions and funds:

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Unless otherwise indicated, rates of return for periods greater than one year are historical annual compound total returns including changes in unit or share value and reinvestment of all distributions, and do not take into account any sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any security holder that would have reduced returns.

Mutual funds unlike GICs are not guaranteed and are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. Their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. In the case of a money market fund there can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you.
