Participating preferred shares are a type of preferred shares that offer its shareholders the opportunity to receive additional dividends if the company’s profit exceeds a stated level. These dividends are paid in addition to the fixed dividends that are normally paid to preferred shareholders. Participating preferred shares allow shareholders to benefit from both fixed and variable income streams, depending on the company’s performance.

A strategic asset allocation strategy is one that involves setting target allocations for various asset classes based on the investor’s risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment objectives, and rebalancing the portfolio periodically to maintain the original allocations. This strategy is compatible with a buy-and-hold approach and aims to achieve long-term goals by diversifying across different asset classes and markets. In this case, you are implementing a strategic asset allocation strategy for your client Sierra by assigning 30% of her portfolio to fixed income and 70% to equities, and planning to rebalance her portfolio when the actual allocations deviate significantly from the target allocations.

A is correct because mortgage mutual funds typically pay monthly distributions of interest to their investors, as they invest in mortgages that generate regular interest income. If interest rates fall, the mutual fund’s net asset value per unit (NAVPU) will increase (B), not decline, as the value of the existing mortgages in the fund will rise. Mortgage mutual funds are suitable for low to moderate risk investors ©, not only for high risk investors, as they provide stable income and capital preservation. Mortgage mutual funds are not risk-free (D), even if the mortgages are National Housing Act (NHA) insured, as they still face credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk.
