Goodman & Company announces Global Thematic Partners as a portfolio sub-advisor in Marquis Institutional Global Equity Portfolio

TORONTO, June 30 /CNW/ - Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Ltd. ("Goodman & Company" or the "Company") announced that, effective July 1, 2010, Global Thematic Partners, LLC ("Global Thematic"), a New York based investment management firm, is replacing Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("Deutsche Americas") as a sub-advisor to Marquis Institutional Global Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio").

Prior to this change, Deutsche Americas acted as a sub-advisor for a portion of the Portfolio, with Mr. Oliver Kratz as the person with principal responsibility. Global Thematic has retained Mr. Kratz from Deutsche Americas. As such, Mr. Kratz will continue to provide the same investment management services to the Portfolio that he provided while with Deutsche Americas.

The Global Thematic investment management team uses top-down research to identify uncorrelated themes, and then uses bottom-up analysis to select companies with the most attractive growth potential. This approach allows the investment team to invest around the world without any set targets for regions, countries or sectors.

This change has been approved by the Oversight Committee that consists of seasoned investment professionals from Goodman & Company and its parent company, DundeeWealth Inc. The other sub-advisors to the Portfolio remain unchanged and there will be no changes to the investment objectives or investment strategy of the Portfolio at this time.
