Dividend Growth Split Corp T.DGS

Alternate Symbol(s):  DDWWF | T.DGS.PR.A

The Funds investment objectives are to provide holders of Preferred shares with fixed, cumulative, preferential, quarterly cash distributions and to return the original issue price of 10.00 per Preferred share to shareholders at maturity; and to provide holders of Class A shares with regular monthly cash distributions, targeted to be at least 0.10 per Class A share, and the opportunity for growth in Net Asset Value per Class A share. The Fund invests, on an approximately equally weighted basis, in a portfolio consisting primarily of equity securities of Canadian dividend growth companies. In addition, the Fund may hold up to 20% of the total assets of the portfolio in global dividend growth companies for diversification and improved return potential, at the Managers discretion.

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:NAV @ 2:45 pmYes I understand that. DGS's holdings are a little more diversified and I haven't attempted to figure out what the dividend payments of its holdings amount to but let's look at FFN for instance; the yearly dividends on its US and Can bank holdings is approx. 3% and was closer to 4% for most of the year until the recent surge in stock prices. Meanwhile the payment to the preferred shares was 7.65% per annum (https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/FFN.PR.A)  I'm not sure what the management fees are since it doesn't seem to be shown on their web site but surely they're under 1%

All in all which its certainly not enough to payout the preferreds, it's not an insignificant amount either. I assume that the accumulated dvidends get added to the NAV but there doesn't seem to be much transparency about that from any of these funds. Is this something that you yourself account for in your own NAV calculations?
