World Financial Split Corp. Announces Year End Results

Marketwired Canada


World Financial Split Corp. (TSX:WFS)(TSX:WFS.PR.A) (the "Fund") announces
results for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net realized loss before
distributions amounted to $(1.8) million or $(0.35) per Unit. Net assets were
$9.92 per Unit, net of distributions to shareholders in the amount of $0.53 per
Preferred share. 


The Fund is a mutual fund corporation which invests in a portfolio that includes
common equity securities selected from the ten largest financial services
companies by market capitalization in each of Canada, the United States and the
Rest of the World (the "Portfolio Universe"). The issuers of securities in the
Portfolio, other than Canadian issuers, must have a minimum credit rating of "A"
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
Portfolio Universe as long as such companies have a market capitalization at 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
respectively.
