Sentry Investments announces restructuring of its global equity team

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 26, 2013) - Sentry Investments announces that Dennis Mitchell, Executive Vice-President and Chief Investment Officer, has assumed lead portfolio manager responsibility for Sentry Global Growth and Income Fund and the equity portion of Sentry Global Balanced Income Fund. Vice-President and Senior Portfolio Manager James Dutkiewicz will continue to manage the fixed-income portion of the balanced fund.

The objectives and strategies of both funds will remain the same.

"Since joining Sentry in 2005, Dennis has become one of the most disciplined practitioners of the Sentry house style," said Sandy McIntyre, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "He has a highly successful track record of managing money, including his management of global assets in his other mandates."

Dennis oversees Sentry's award-winning investment management team and helps to mentor Sentry's next generation of portfolio managers in the intricacies of Sentry's disciplined house style. That house style, applied consistently across Sentry's entire mutual fund line-up, helped Sentry capture back-to-back Lipper Best Equity Fund Family Awards in 2011 and 2012 for delivering superior risk-adjusted returns.

Sentry also announces that portfolio manager Dana Love has decided to leave the firm.
