The Fund invests in Real Estate Investment Trusts, Business and Industrial Trusts, Commodity-based Royalty Trusts and Pipeline and Power Generation Trusts.
The Portfolio Advisor, Acuity Investment Management Inc., seeks securities with steady dividend or distribution payouts with the ability to sustain the payouts for a moderate period of time and which are favourably priced with respect to these payout expectations.

All returns are historical annual compounded rates of return and reflect changes in unit value and distributions reinvested. They do not take into account sales charges or administrative fees, payable by unitholders, which would have reduced returns. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Your unit value and investment return will fluctuate. Important information about any mutual fund is contained in its simplified prospectus which should be read carefully before investing. Copies of Acuity Funds Ltd.'s prospectus are available from your investment advisor or Acuity Funds Ltd.
