Sentry Investments introduces three new mutual funds

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - June 10, 2015) - Sentry Investments ("Sentry") is pleased to announce the launch of three new mutual funds: Sentry Alternative Asset Income Fund, Sentry Income Advantage Fund and Sentry Global Mid Cap Income Fund.

Each fund offers very specific opportunities for investors. Sentry Alternative Asset Income Fund provides access to three asset classes that are attracting increasing attention from both retail and institutional investors, including pension managers -- real estate, infrastructure and high-yield bonds. Sentry Income Advantage Fund, which is essentially a bond fund with some equity exposure, is ideal for investors seeking a conservative source of income. With Sentry Global Mid Cap Income Fund, investors can go beyond large caps to access the relatively untapped global mid-cap market. All three funds offer a monthly distribution.

"We are excited to introduce these new funds that are a natural extension of our existing line-up," said Sean Driscoll, Chief Executive Officer, Sentry Investments. "These funds benefit from our strong history as an income provider and a manager of alternative assets. They are managed with Sentry's proven, disciplined house style designed to deliver income and growth with less volatility."

Sentry Alternative Asset Income Fund
The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of securities with exposure to alternative asset classes including global real estate, infrastructure and fixed-income securities. It provides access to stable income with potential for capital growth from long-duration assets. The initial targeted asset allocation is equally weighted at 33.3% for each asset class (although from time to time, the exposure for each asset class may range from 20% to 50%).

Sentry Income Advantage Fund
The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income and, to a lesser extent, income-oriented equity securities. It combines the stability of a fixed-income fund with the potential for equity growth. The Fund's target weighting is 75% exposure to fixed-income securities with the remaining 25% invested in income-oriented equity securities. It may invest up to 30% in foreign securities.
Managers: James Dutkiewicz, Chief Investment Strategist and Senior Portfolio Manager; Michael Simpson, Senior Vice-President and Senior Portfolio Manager
