Lysander Funds Limited is the investment fund manager of Lysander-Canso Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”). This document is not an invitation to invest in the Fund and does not constitute a public offering of sale. This Fund is an alternative mutual fund. It has the ability to invest in asset classes or use investment strategies that are not permitted for other types of mutual funds. The specific strategies that differentiate this Fund from other types of mutual funds include: increased use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes; increased ability to sell securities short; and the ability to borrow cash to use for investment purposes. While these strategies will be used in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the pace at which your investment decreases in value. Purchases in the Fund can only be made through an Investment Professional on the terms in the Fund’s offering document by eligible investors. Each purchaser of units in a fund may have statutory or contractual right of action. Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed or insured, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Prior to May 11, 2020, the Fund was offered on a private placement basis. 1Source: FTSE Canada Global Debt Capital Markets. Copyright © 2021. FTSE Canada Global Debt Capital Markets.
