in the fundamental investment objective of the Cumberland Capital
Appreciation Fund
TORONTO, April 30 /CNW/ - Cumberland Investment Management Inc., the manager of Cumberland Capital Appreciation Fund, announced today that it is seeking approval from unitholders for a change in the Fund's investment objective.
If all approvals are obtained, the investment objective of the Fund will be changed to permit investment by the Fund in high quality government and corporate fixed income securities as well as in income trusts and equity securities.
"The addition of the fixed income asset class provides more options for capital preservation and can provide better yields when compared to short term cash deposits," notes John Wilson, Chief Investment Officer, Cumberland.
The investment process will continue to be oriented towards individual security selection and be value driven.
Unitholders of the Fund will be asked to approve the proposed change at a special meeting to be held on May 26, 2010 in Toronto. If approved, the change in investment objective is expected to become effective on or about May 27, 2010.
