Q: Hello I5 team.
I'm trying to find out what the MER is for this fund and if this 8.8% div yield looks sustainable. I know the fund has increased 40% recently, but is it prudent to buy now?
Thankyou for your input

Q: Hi 5I Research team.
I presently own OCS.UN which I believe is a closed end fund. Could you please explain what a closed end fund is? I have held this for about a year and a half and am under water with this fund. Recently the fund has been going up. It pays a 10% dividend which is great. Would you expect this fund to continue to go up. Is the fund tied to the interest rate and would it continue to go up if the interest rate goes up. Thanks for your help
Bob

Q: Can you give me your opinion of the payout ration of the above, safety of the dividend in general and also the sensitivity to interest rate rises in the US? Is this a risky investment or fairly lowish in risk? I can find little information on its holdings but it pays a high dividend that has never been cut. Thanks.

Q: Income Financial Trust pays a 12 per cent on its basket of financial holdings, and its share price is currently some 27 per cent over NAV. My question: its 2015 tax form indicates that almost all of its payout consists of return of capital. Does that mean that investors in INC.UN are just repaid their own money, and NAV will get reduced significantly over time?
