The value proposition for investors
Management believes that dental operations are a consistent and stable source of revenue based on historical data from the dental industry. Dentistry has high net margins relative to other industries operating in the healthcare space, which, in management's opinion, has an ability to convert profits into cash flow. A fund comprised of investments in several well-managed clinics can be an attractive component within a larger portfolio of investments. The dental industry in Canada exhibits a low level of revenue volatility. While patients may curb their demand for elective procedures, such as implants, in response to low discretionary income, many consumers still routinely visit their dentist for annual or semi-annual, need-based procedures, which lowers revenue volatility.1
