Did You Know?According to the 2012 Digital Experience and Attitudes Survey conducted by BlueRush Digital Media Corp in partnership with Investment Executive, most advisors stay digitally connected while on the road. While approximately 1 in 5 advisors said they own neither a smartphone nor a tablet, two-thirds of the survey respondents indicated they are somewhat likely or very likely to acquire a new smartphone or tablet within the next six months.

May 2012 – Product Development Highlights AGF Investments launched AGF Floating Rate Income. The new fund will invest primarily in floating-rate senior loans and other floating-rate debt securities of U.S. based companies. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in other income-producing holdings and 10% in gold and silver.

Fidelity Investments Canada launched Fidelity Tactical Fixed Income. The fund will invest in a wide range of investment-grade and higher yielding fixed income securities. Up to 40% of the fund can be invested outside Canada. The management fees for the Series A units are 1.35%

Horizons Exchange Traded Funds launched Horizons Universa Canadian Black Swan and Horizons Universa US Black Swan. The actively managed ETFs are both designed to provide stock-market exposure with downside protection. The “Black Swan” is a reference to devastating market events that cause stock markets to suffer one-month losses of 20% or more. In addition to a management fee of 0.95% (Class E) and 1.70% (Advisor Class), the funds have a performance fee set at 20% of the amount by which the ETFs exceed the return of the market benchmark.

Dynamic Funds proposed fixed fees for fund expenses for all Dynamic Funds and the Marquis Investment Program. The fees will range from 0.12% to 0.35% and will be lower than or equal to the actual operating expenses paid over the last financial year. Investors will vote on the proposal August 21.
