Middlefield INDEXPLUS Income Fund

Fund Description

The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equity income securities of which a portion tracks the S&P/TSX Composite High Dividend Index. The remainder of the portfolio is actively managed to enhance returns and reduce the risks associated with indexing while maintaining low-cost exposure to the underlying equity income market.

The S&P/TSX Composite High Dividend Index is a strategy index consisting of 50 to 75 stocks selected from the S&P/TSX Composite Index focusing on dividend income. The index is market-capitalization weighted, with stocks capped at 5% and each sector capped at 30%. The index rebalances quarterly on the same schedule as the S&P/TSX Composite Index.

Key Reasons to Invest:

  • exposure to a portfolio which is designed to enhance returns and reduce the risks associated with indexing while providing tax efficient monthly distributions
  • a portfolio focused on high-quality large-cap companies primarily in the utilities, financial and real estate sectors
  • focus on dividend-paying companies which benefit investors by dampening the volatility associated with investing in equities and provide a viable alternative to investors during both low and higher interest rate cycles
