Sentry Investments launches Sentry U.S. Growth and Income Currency Neutral Class

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - April 18, 2016) - Sentry Investments Inc. ("Sentry") has launched Sentry U.S. Growth and Income Currency Neutral Class ("Currency Neutral Class"), a currency-hedged version of Sentry U.S. Growth and Income Fund. Currency Neutral Class is now available for sale.

Currency Neutral Class, which is offered under Sentry Corporate Class, invests in securities of Sentry U.S. Growth and Income Fund. The portfolio manager applies a currency-hedging strategy to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on fund performance.

"We are pleased to launch this product as it provides more options for advisors and investors who want to capitalize on U.S. investment opportunities," said Kos Lazaridis, Vice-President, Product, Sentry. "The new currency neutral option is intended for those who want exposure to the U.S. market, but do not want the added exposure to currency risk."

Investors already invested in the corporate class version of Sentry U.S. Growth and Income Fund can switch into Currency Neutral Class on a tax-deferred basis.

Currency Neutral Class is available in Series A, B, F, O and I. Aubrey Hearn, Vice-President and Senior Portfolio Manager, will manage Currency Neutral Class and will also continue to manage Sentry U.S. Growth and Income Fund.
