Special Meeting for certain mutual fund unitholders to be held on November 21, 2025 - Click here to learn more

Overview

The Pender Alternative Special Situations Fund aims to identify investment opportunities that the Manager believes represent special situations – when a company is undergoing a value changing event which has not yet been recognized by the market. There are often opportunities for companies and industries when there is a change in fundamentals, sentiment or momentum or another catalyst present, such as a restructuring. The Fund aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in Canadian and US equities with the ability to also invest in debt and other securities.

As at September 1, 2022 (the “Conversion Date”), the Fund amended its investment objectives and strategies and converted from a conventional mutual fund to an alternative mutual fund. For further information, please see the news release and the Simplified Prospectus dated August 29, 2022, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca
