What I do outside of work
I play badminton regularly and am a fan of curling. I also enjoy cooking and am an aspiring baker. On by bucket list is to surpass 300 blood donations and I’m almost there!

Fund Benefits
Monthly distribution
This fund targets a $0.0564 per share monthly tax-advantaged dividend. It has maintained distributions since 2011 with no return of capital.
Tax-smart
The fund can earn dividends from global companies but classify the distributions to unitholders as Canadian dividends, which are taxed more favorably than regular income.
Proven track record
For over a decade, this fund has produced steady income with solid growth. Investors have been able to draw income without depleting their capital.
