Canadian High Income Equity Fund Announces Distribution Reinvestment Plan

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 17, 2014) - Canadian High Income Equity Fund (the "Fund") (TSX:CIQ.UN) is pleased to announce that it has initiated a distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that is available beginning with the June 30, 2014 record date. The DRIP provides unitholders with the ability to automatically reinvest distributions and realize the benefits of compound growth. Under the DRIP, if the 10 day weighted average trading price prior to the distribution payment date (the "Trading Price") is higher than the net asset value per unit ("NAV"), such that the Fund is trading at a premium to NAV, unitholders will benefit from reinvesting distributions at a lower value, generally being NAV. If the Trading Price is lower than the NAV, such that the Fund is trading at a discount to NAV, unitholders will generally benefit from reinvesting at below NAV through the acquisition of units in the market. The DRIP provides an attractive reinvestment mechanism in both circumstances when the Fund trades at a premium or a discount to NAV. Contact your investment advisor to enroll in the Fund's DRIP and please visit our website for complete details of the DRIP plan.
