Returns are for the periods ended October 31, 2022 and are unaudited. Inception date November 15, 2005. The table shows the past performance of the Company’s Preferred Shares compared to the S&P/TSX Preferred Share Index (“Preferred Share Index”). The Preferred Share Index tracks the performance, on a market‑weight basis, of a broad index of preferred shares trading on the TSX that meet the criteria relating to size, liquidity and issuer rating. Since the Preferred Share Index is more diversified, it is not expected that the performance of the Preferred Shares will mirror that of the Preferred Share Index. Past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Preferred Shares and Class A Shares will perform in the future. The information shown is based on the redemption price per Preferred Share or net asset value per Class A Share and assumes that distributions made by the Company on the Preferred Shares and Class A Shares in the periods shown were reinvested (at the net asset value per Class A Share or redemption price per Preferred Share) in additional Preferred Shares or Class A Shares of the Company.
