from Standard & Poor's Rating Services or a comparable rating from an equivalent
rating agency.


In addition, up to 20% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund may be invested in
common equity securities of Financial Services companies not included in the

time of investment of at least US$10 billion and for non-Canadian issuers, a
minimum credit rating of "A" from Standard & Poors Rating Services or a
comparable rating from an equivalent rating agency.


The Fund employs a proprietary investment strategy, Strathbridge Selective
Overwriting ("SSO"), to enhance the income generated by the portfolio and to
reduce volatility. In addition, the Fund may write cash covered put options in
respect of securities in which it is permitted to invest.


The Fund's investment portfolio is managed by its investment manager,
Strathbridge Asset Management Inc. The Fund's Preferred and Class A shares are
listed on Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols WFS.PR.A and WFS
