Product overview


Sentry Select Primary Metals Corp. is a corporation with a focus on providing long-term capital appreciation by investing in an actively managed portfolio consisting primarily of securities of mining and exploration issuers. For at least the first three years, the manager intends to focus on issuers that are engaged in the production of and/or exploration for uranium, nickel and molybdenum.

Investors may benefit in several key ways:

• Long-term capital appreciation in sectors with the potential for above-market performance based on rising demand and tight worldwide supplies
• Additional return potential through warrants, exercisable on or before June 30, 2009
The Fund meets the needs of investors seeking to enhance portfolio diversification. As an asset class with a low correlation to stocks and bonds, metals can provide increased return potential and diversification within a well-balanced portfolio.
