Financial Statements

The Vertex Managed Value Portfolio is R.R.S.P. eligible and focuses on maximizing client returns.

Investment Objective

The principle objective is to provide growth of capital while minimizing volatility through investment in a combination of equities and income securities, while maintaining an opportunistic outlook for unique investment situations. Using a common sense businesslike approach, our core belief is that return is generated through company earnings, not stock trading, thus turnover is limited.

Investment Strategy

Equities

Emphasis is placed on stocks trading at at values of under two-thirds of the general market, that also have annuity stream revenues with lower debt and higher dividends.  This results in a portfolio concentrated on fewer sectors of the overall economy such as food, drugs, utilities and financial services.  In addition, from time to time deep value stocks will be included, where stocks trade well below asset value.  Covered-call writing will be utilized, when call premiums are attractive, to enhance overall portfolio income.

Income

Taking a businessmen approach, income is achieved through many avenues.  These will include investments in conventional government and corporate bonds, as well as preferred, convertible and broken convertible securities. In addition, the Fund will take advantage of opportunities in higher-yielding equities, securities lending and covered-call writing.

The fund has no predetermined limits on equities or fixed income, but will be positioned in the best assets to achieve our principle investment objective.
