Marketwired
Prime Dividend Corp. ("Prime Dividend") announces its annual
financial results for the year ending November 30, 2008.
By the end of 2008, the cumulative impact of the deterioration
in financial and economic conditions created record lows in
business, investor and consumer confidence and resulted in
recessionary conditions throughout the world. In addition, the
de-leveraging of hedge funds and other similar funds during the
final months exacerbated market volatility and losses in financial
markets. Market indices experienced declines not seen since the
Great Depression of the 1930s. In North America, the S&P TSX 60
index declined by -27.65% for the year ending November 30,
2008.
Throughout this difficult environment, the core holdings in the
portfolio have been negatively impacted. The Company met its
distribution objectives during the year for both classes of shares,
but the net asset value per unit declined to $14.56 per unit (a
unit consisting of one Preferred share and one Class A share) as of
November 30, 2008.
