With respect to Preferred Share Investment Trust (TSX:PSF.UN), the amount of the quarterly distribution has been lowered to $0.150 per unit (from $0.175 per unit). This reduction reflects the current defensive positioning of the Fund and the desire to conserve cash for the benefit of the Fund's NAV and for deployment into higher yielding opportunities as they are expected to become available. The Manager will continue to assess the amount of the distribution on a quarterly basis having regard to, among other things, the anticipated net cash flows, the net asset value and markets generally. There can be no assurance that the amount will not vary from quarter to quarter, or that the Fund will make any distribution in any particular quarter.
