Lysander Funds Limited is the investment fund manager of Lysander-Canso Aviation and Space Fund (the “Fund”). This document is not an invitation to invest in the Fund and does not constitute a public offering of sale. The Fund is only available under prospectus exemptions and other exemptions available to investors who meet certain eligibility or minimum purchase requirements. Currently these exemptions include the accredited investor exemption and the $150,000 minimum purchase exemption for non-individual investors. Each purchaser of Units in the Fund may have statutory or contractual rights of action. The offering of Units of the Fund is made pursuant to an Offering Memorandum and the information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified by the more detailed information in the Offering Memorandum. Information presented in this material should not be construed as investment or financial advice. Please consult a Financial Advisor. Please read the offering memorandum before investing. Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with investment funds.
The indicated rates of return are historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Investment funds are not guaranteed or insured, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
1Growth of $10K chart shown represents a hypothetical investment of the Fund since inception. The chart assumes reinvestment of all distributions and is net of fees. The rate of return shown is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future values or return on investments.
2Distributions are based on the actual number of units outstanding at the relevant time. Distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional units of the Fund. If the Fund’s series’ net income/capital gains is less than the amounts distributed in the year, the distribution will include a return of capital. In these circumstances, if an investor elects to receive their distributions in cash and not reinvest such distributions, it is expected that the value of their investment will decline over time. Distributions are not an indication of performance, rate of return or yield.
