Closed-end Funds
A closed-end fund is a publicly traded investment company that raises a fixed amount of capital through an initial public offering (IPO). The closed-end fund is then structured, listed and traded like a stock on a stock exchange. Closed-end funds raise a prescribed amount of capital only once through an IPO by issuing a fixed amount of shares, which are purchased by investors in the closed-end fund as stock. Unlike regular stocks, closed-end funds represent an interest in a specialized portfolio of securities that is actively managed and which typically concentrates on a specific industry, geographic market or sector.

Split Share Corporations
Split share funds are unique investment corporations that offer two distinct classes of shares (capital shares, preferred shares) and typically invest in an underlying portfolio of dividend paying companies. Both classes of shares trade separately on an exchange. Preferred shares receive fixed, cumulative quarterly payments. Capital shares capture the movement of the underlying stocks, but in a more magnified way than if an investor owned the underlying portfolio of securities directly. This magnification of return is commonly known as “leverage”.
Copernican International Financial Split Corp.
Copernican International Financial Split Corp. was created to provide exposure to the world’s leading retail bank, life insurance and investment management financial service companies based outside North America which the Investment Advisor believes have both attractive dividend yields and strong earnings growth momentum. The Investment Advisor believes the ongoing consolidation across financial services will continue, resulting in faster and less costly technology-driven economies of scale reaching, profitably, a steadily increasing percentage of the world’s population, notably across parts of Eastern and Central Europe, Latin and South America and Asia.
Copernican World Banks Split Inc.
Copernican World Banks Split Inc. was created to provide investors with an opportunity to invest in an attractive tax-efficient split share structure with an actively managed portfolio of 25-30 of the world’s leading global bank-based financial services companies. The Investment Advisor believes these businesses have both attractive dividend yields and strong earnings growth momentum.
Principal Protected Notes (PPNs)
Principal protected notes (also referred to as deposit notes), are a type of investment that combines the benefits of principal protection at maturity with equity market growth potential. The return is usually linked to the performance of an equity investment and the term to maturity is generally six to eight years. If held to maturity, principal protected notes allow the investor to participate in equity markets with confidence, knowing their principal is protected.
