TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 26, 2017) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Brompton Funds Limited (the "Manager") is pleased to announce that European Dividend Growth Fund (the "Fund") has filed a final prospectus relating to the Fund's initial public offering of units with a maximum offering size of $150 million. The Fund is offering units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Closing is scheduled to occur on or about July 21, 2017.

The Fund has been created to provide investors with exposure to an equal-weight portfolio of equity securities of large-capitalization European Dividend Growth Companies. In order to qualify for inclusion in the portfolio, at the time of investment and at the time of each periodic reconstitution and/or rebalancing, each European Dividend Growth Company comprising the portfolio must (i) be a constituent of the STOXX Europe 600 Index; (ii) have a market capitalization of at least EUR15 billion; and (iii) have a history of dividend growth or, in the Manager's view, have high potential for future dividend growth (a "European Dividend Growth Company").

The Manager expects that between 20 and 25, but no less than 20, European Dividend Growth Companies will comprise the portfolio at any given time. In addition, up to 25% of the portfolio may be invested in companies that are not included on the STOXX Europe 600 Index but that would otherwise be European Dividend Growth Companies. The indicative portfolio includes Adidas AG, Airbus SE, Allianz SE, Astrazeneca plc, AXA SA, BMW AG, BT Group plc, Carnival plc, Danone SA, Deutsche Post AG, Enel SpA, Henkel AG & Company, KGaA, HSBC Holdings plc, LafargeHolcim Ltd., LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton, Novartis AG, SAP SE, Shire plc, Siemens AG, UBS Group AG and Unilever plc.

The initial distribution target for the Fund is $0.04167 per unit per month representing an initial yield on the unit subscription price of 5.0% per annum.

The portfolio will be rebalanced and reconstituted at least annually or more frequently in the discretion of the Manager. The Manager will write covered call options from time to time on up to, but not more than, 33% of the portfolio, in order to seek to earn option premiums and lower the overall volatility of returns associated with owning a portfolio of equity securities. The Manager will seek to hedge substantially all of the portfolio's foreign currency exposure back to the Canadian dollar.

The syndicate of agents is being led by RBC Capital Markets and includes CIBC, Scotiabank, TD Securities Inc., BMO Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc., GMP Securities L.P., Raymond James Ltd., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Desjardins Securities Inc., Echelon Wealth Partners, Haywood Securities Inc., Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation.
