XTR - Diversified Monthly Income Fund

Commencement Date: 19-Dec-2005
The iShares Diversified Monthly Income Fund seeks to provide a consistent monthly cash distribution, with the potential for modest long-term capital growth, by investing primarily in Canadian iShares Funds that provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of income-bearing investments. Exposure to these types of income-bearing investments may also be obtained by investing directly in them and/or through the use of derivatives. The investment strategy of XTR is to invest primarily in income-bearing Canadian iShares Funds. XTR will invest in a portfolio that is a diversified representation of income-bearing asset classes, including, but not limited to, common equities, fixed income securities and real estate investment trusts.

BlackRock Canada will develop and maintain a strategic asset allocation policy for XTR. The fund will generally rebalance to this allocation policy on a quarterly basis, but may also do so more frequently if market conditions warrant. The majority of the XTR's investment exposure will be to Canadian securities, but foreign asset classes may also be included as a result of their income properties or diversification benefits. BlackRock Canada will review, and may adjust, XTR's strategic asset allocation from time to time, as market conditions change, and as the investible universe evolves.

BlackRock announces unitholders vote in favour of the change to the investment objective of the iShares S&P/TSX Income Trust Index Fund (XTR) - Press Release.
