Why Invest In This Fund?


Big Pharma Split Corp. will invest in an initially equally-weighted portfolio comprised of Equity Securities of ten issuers, selected by the Portfolio Manager from the Investable Universe, that at the time of investment and immediately following each semi-annual reconstitution and rebalancing: (i) are listed on a North American exchange; (ii) pay a dividend; and (iii) have options in respect of its Equity Securities that, in the opinion of the Portfolio Manager, are sufficiently liquid to permit the Portfolio Manager to write options in respect of such securities. The Portfolio will be comprised primarily of the largest (as determined by market capitalization calculated in US$) Pharmaceutical Issuers in the Investable Universe.

The Manager will hedge substantially all of the Portfolio’s U.S dollar exposure back to the Canadian dollar.

The Class A Shares provide holders a monthly cash distribution and are targeted to be $0.1031 per share and, for the Preferred Shares, quarterly cash distributions are fixed at $0.1250 per share.

Disclaimer

The information contained herein is not an offer to sell nor a solicitation to buy the aforementioned security. You will usually pay brokerage fees to your investment dealer if you purchase or sell Class A shares or Preferred shares of Big Pharma Split Corp. (the “Fund”) on the TSX. If shares are purchased or sold on the TSX, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying shares of the Fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of an investment fund. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the fund. You can find more detailed information about the fund in these documents. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Distributions are paid to you in cash from the Class A shares or Preferred shares of the Fund. If the Fund earns less than the amount distributed, the difference is a return of capital. The current yield is calculated based on the market price of the Fund. Big Pharma Split Corp. is managed by Harvest Portfolios Group Inc.
