2Growth 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.
3A financial ratio calculated as weighted average of current share price divided by forecasted earning per share of all stocks in the portfolio. A fund’s price to earning ratio can act as a gauge of the fund’s investment strategy in the current market climate, and whether it has a value or a growth orientation. Companies with a surge of popularity tend to have higher price-to-earnings ratios, reflecting a growth orientation, while lower price-to-earnings ratios reflect a value orientation.
4A financial ratio calculated as weighted average of current share price divided by book value per share of all stocks in the portfolio. It compares how the market values a company to the value on the company’s books. For example a company trading at several times its book value tends to indicate a growth stock where investors believe the book value will rise in the future. Typically a company with a low price-to-book ratio means that investors think that the firm’s assets have been too highly valued on its financial statements.
5The weighted average market capitalization of a fund’s equity portfolio gives you a measure of the weighted average size of the companies in which the fund invests. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of a company’s shares outstanding by its price per share.

7Ratings are based on DBRS.
8Distributions 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.
