The Crusader High Dividend Canadian Equity portfolio’s investment objective is to earn income, preserve capital and achieve long-term capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of Canadian high yielding, dividend-paying equity securities; however, other equity-like income-producing securities, debt and money market securities may be used to achieve its objective.
Crusader’s proprietary quantitative models are unique. They are dynamic and form the basis of the Fund’s investment positioning. Dynamic modeling facilitates constant factor and regime analysis to optimize portfolio positioning that is relevant at all times.
Quantitative pro forma investment decisions are subject to a qualitative overlay – a “common sense” approach that may be garnered only from significant success and years of industry experience.
Crusader’s independent quantitative process, unique expertise and investment management experience affords the portfolio professional guidance that ignores market “hype” or “noise” while deploying a rigorous philosophy that is proven through a multitude of market environments.

Empirical evidence suggests Canadian dividend-paying stocks offer superior risk-return characteristics when compared to Canadian non-dividend-paying stocks. Empirical observation of the fundamental characteristics of these equity securities supports the risk-return relationship.
Theoretically, the argument can be made that investors in Canadian equity securities should own only Canadian dividend-paying stocks as the Canadian equity content within a diversified portfolio of assets.
Crusader Asset Management believes Canadian investors should reserve a portion of their Canadian equity investment for a dedicated strategy based on dividend paying stocks.
