Voluntary Annual Cash Redemption Overview
The voluntary cash redemption process is set to take place on December 5, 2025. Unitholders will have the opportunity to redeem their units at a price calculated as 95% of the Average Net Asset Value (NAV) determined from the three trading days prior to the redemption date. This approach aims to provide a fair and transparent method for unitholders seeking liquidity.
Redemption Requests and Requirements
Unitholders who wish to participate in this redemption must notify their investment advisor or brokerage by November 14, 2025. It is worth noting that some investment firms might set earlier deadlines to streamline the processing of these requests. Furthermore, registered unitholders, who possess a physical share certificate, should reach out directly to the Fund’s transfer agent, Alliance Trust Company, for assistance.
Understanding Key Dates
Here are the significant dates to remember:
- From October 3 to November 14, 2025: Unitholders can submit their units for redemption.
- On December 2, 3, and 4, 2025: The redemption price will be calculated based on the Average NAV during these trading days.

- Payment for all accepted redemption requests will occur by December 30, 2025.
