About CI WISDOMTREE CDA QU DIV GRWTH IDX NON HEDGED UNITS

The fund focuses on Canadian companies potential for dividend growth. Securities that meet their size and liquidity requirements are ranked according to market-cap and 100 highest-ranking securities are selected for further screening. With the goal of increasing coverage of firms likely to be larger players in the dividend market, the fund then combines growth (forward-looking earnings estimates) with quality factors (three-year historical averages return-on-assets and return-on-equity) in its selection process. The top 50 names based on the combined ranking of these factors are selected for inclusion. Although the fund comprises of large- and midcap securities, the resulting portfolio tends to skew toward larger firms. Stocks projected to pay more dividends are weighted more heavily, with individual security weights capped at 5%. The index is reconstituted quarterly.
