The Trust has been designed to capitalize on the view that the domestic and U.S.-based oil and gas sector will continue over the next several years to benefit from a combination of global excess demand and diminishing supply. The Trust’s Portfolio (as defined below) will consist primarily of units of oil and gas royalty trusts supplemented by the common shares of Canadian and U.S.-based issuers operating in the energy sector. This asset allocation is intended to provide attractive current returns through the regular receipt of distributions received on Energy Related Trusts, while providing the potential for capital appreciation through the common share component of the Portfolio.
