Marketwired
Dividend 15 Split Corporation II ("Dividend 15 II") announces its
financial results for the year ending November 30, 2008.
By the end of 2008, the cumulative impact of the deterioration
in financial and economic conditions created record lows in
business, investor and consumer confidence and resulted in
recessionary conditions throughout the world. In addition, the
de-leveraging of hedge funds and other similar funds during the
final months exacerbated market volatility and losses in financial
markets. Market indices experienced declines not seen since the
Great Depression of the 1930s. In North America, the S&P TSX 60
index declined by -27.65% for the year ending November 30,
2008.
Throughout this difficult environment, the core holdings in the
portfolio have been negatively impacted. The Company met its
distribution objectives during the year but the net asset value
declined to $14.11 per unit (a unit consisting of one Preferred
share and one Class A share) as at November 30, 2008.
Dividend 15 invests in a portfolio of leading Canadian
dividend-yielding stocks as follows: Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova
Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada,
Toronto-Dominion Bank, National Bank of Canada, CI Financial Income
Fund, BCE Inc., Manulife Financial, Enbridge, Sun Life Financial,
TELUS Corporation, The Thomson Corporation, TransAlta Corporation,
TransCanada Corporation. Shares held within the portfolio are
expected to range between 4-8% in weight but may vary at any
time.
