Sentry Investments launches new preferred pricing series and other enhancements to the Sentry Group of Funds

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 13, 2014) - Sentry Investments Inc. ("Sentry") is pleased to introduce three important enhancements to Sentry's mutual fund family:

• Launch of Sentry Preferred Pricing, a special pricing series featuring tiered-management-fee discounts for eligible investors
• Addition of Sentry Small/Mid Cap Income Class to the corporate class line-up
• Ability to customize monthly distributions

These enhancements are designed to provide investors in Sentry's mutual fund family with new options and additional flexibility. "We are always looking for ways to improve our fund family and make it more attractive to Canadian advisors and investors. I'm particularly excited about the launch of our preferred pricing series as it allows investors to benefit from reduced management fees when making large investments in our funds," said Sean Driscoll, Chief Executive Officer, Sentry Investments.

Launch of Sentry Preferred Pricing

Sentry is now offering advisors and investors a new pricing option: Sentry Preferred Pricing. The new pricing series – Series P and Series PF securities – are now available across all Sentry funds for purchase by eligible investors who meet the minimum investment amount of $100,000. Investors in the new preferred pricing series receive tiered-management-fee discounts, which can help their investments grow more quickly over time.

Sentry Small/Mid Cap Income Class added to corporate class line-up

Sentry is also continuing to enhance its corporate class line-up with the addition of Sentry Small/Mid Cap Income Class. Since inception in 2005, Sentry Small/Mid Cap Income Fund has been one of Sentry's strongest and most consistent performers. The addition of a class version of the fund provides investors with more choice and makes Sentry's corporate class line-up that much stronger.

The new Class will join Sentry Canadian Income Class, Sentry Canadian Resource Class, Sentry Conservative Balanced Income Class, Sentry Diversified Equity Class, Sentry Global Growth and Income Class, Sentry Money Market Class, Sentry Precious Metals Growth Class, Sentry REIT Class and Sentry U.S. Growth and Income Class. The corporate class structure provides greater tax efficiency for non-registered accounts by deferring capital gains tax on investment switches – moving from one corporate class fund to another – and by minimizing the taxation of annual distributions.

Customizable distribution

In an effort to provide optimal flexibility and choice, Sentry now offers investors additional distribution options. Previously, investors could elect to receive monthly distributions, where applicable, in cash or reinvest them in the relevant fund. Now, a third option has been added: the ability to reinvest a portion of the distribution (either a percentage or a dollar amount per security) and have the remainder paid in cash. Investors also have the choice of reinvesting all or a portion of their distribution in the same fund, or another Sentry fund.
