An ETF is a stand-alone investment fund, while an ETF series is an exchange-traded class of securities offered by a conventional mutual fund. Investors generally pay brokerage fees to their dealer if they purchase or sell units of an ETF or ETF series on a recognized Canadian stock exchange. Investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units of the ETF or ETF series and may receive less than the current asset value when selling them. Please read the prospectus and ETF Facts before investing.

Distributions should not be confused with “yield” or “income” and are not intended to reflect a fund’s investment performance or rate of return. Distributions may be comprised of income, capital gains or return of capital. The distribution rate on units held by an investor may be greater than the return on the fund’s investments. If the cash distributions paid to an investor are greater than the net increase in the value of the investment, the distribution will erode the value of the original investment. For mutual fund series, distributions are automatically reinvested in additional units of the applicable fund unless the investor instructs us to distribute cash. For ETF series, distributions will be paid in cash unless the investor has enrolled in the applicable Distribution Reinvestment Plan of the respective ETF series. If necessary, a fund will make an additional distribution of income and capital gains in December of each year. The funds may make additional distributions of income, capital gains or return of capital at any other time as we consider appropriate. A distribution of capital is not immediately taxable to an investor but will reduce the adjusted cost basis of the investor’s units. There can be no assurance that a fund will make any distributions in any particular month, and we reserve the right to adjust the amount of monthly distribution if we consider it appropriate, without notice.
