Attractive tax efficient yield target of 5.00% per annum (7.16% pre-tax interest equivalent yield excluding tax deferral)

The Trust will provide unitholders with tax efficient capital gains and returns of capital instead of fully taxable interest income from the Global Yield Portfolios through the use of the forward structures. Majority of each distribution on the Trust’s units at the outset will be treated as return of capital and fully tax deferred until disposition regardless of its income characterization within the Global Yield Portfolios. The remainder of each distribution will be capital gains. "‘Return of Capital"’ is an income tax characterization. The monthly distributions will be capital gains, with the portion that is tax deferred being referred to as ‘‘return of capital’’. The accumulated returns of capital distributed in the early years will result in significant tax deferral.
