Low Volatility U.S. Equity Income Fund Announces Annual Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 21, 2014) - Low Volatility U.S. Equity Income Fund (the "Fund") (TSX:LVU.UN) announces results for the period ended December 31, 2013. Net increase in net assets from operations amounted to $4.3 million or $2.02 per unit. Net assets were $23.4 million or $10.97 per unit, net of distributions to unitholders in the amount of $0.8 million or $0.37 per unit.

The Fund's investment objectives are (i) to maximize risk adjusted returns for unitholders; and (ii) to pay unitholders monthly cash distributions in an amount targeted to be 5.0% per annum on the NAV per unit.

The Fund achieves its investment objectives by actively investing in a conservative portfolio consisting of large capitalization equity securities selected from the S&P 100 Index with a beta of less than 1.0. Beta is a financial term used as a measure of a security's or a portfolio's return in relation to the market. A beta of less than 1.0 indicates that the price of a security will generally vary to a lesser extent than the movement of the market and a beta of greater than 1.0 indicates that the price of a security will generally vary to a greater extent than the movement of the market. The investment universe will be reconstituted annually.

The Fund employs a proprietary investment strategy, Strathbridge Selective Overwriting ("SSO"), to enhance the income generated by the portfolio and to reduce volatility. In addition, the Fund may write cash covered put options in respect of securities in which it is permitted to invest.

The Fund's investment portfolio is managed by its investment manager, Strathbridge Asset Management Inc. The Fund's units are listed on the TSX under the symbol LVU.UN.
