Symphony Asset Management Provides Senior Loan Update
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 2, 2014) - (TSX:SSF.UN)
Investors and investment advisors are invited to listen to an
update on the US Senior Loan Market, hosted by Larry Holzenthaler
of Symphony Asset Management ("Symphony"). Investors may listen to
the recording of the update call on Brompton's website at
www.bromptongroup.com/symphony. The Fund is available for purchase
on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SSF.UN.
Symphony Floating Rate Senior Loan Fund (the "Fund") invests
primarily in floating-rate Senior Loans, which are the most senior
corporate obligations of a borrower, and are secured by the
borrower's assets. As a result, Senior Loans have a first-priority
secured claim on repayment ahead of bonds and equity. Senior Loans
also feature floating rate interest payments which may help
investors avoid potential negative performance of fixed-rate bonds
in periods of rising interest rates.
The Fund has a current distribution target of $0.70 per annum
(approximately 7.2% of the April 30, 2014 closing price). The Fund
is designed to pay tax-efficient Return of Capital distributions
until October 2016. At the highest personal income tax rate in
Ontario (49.53%), an investor would need to earn regular interest
income at a rate of 10.8% per annum to realize the same after-tax
cash flows.
