Risk and Return Statistics are calculated based on the monthly return data of the respective fund class since inception except for Maximum Drawdown and Period of Maximum Drawdown which are calculated using the daily return data of the respective fund class. Due to the fund’s limited history, all risk/reward analysis results may not be statistically relevant. Beta measures the fund’s volatility relative to its benchmark: a rating of “1” implies the fund’s movements are identical to the index (typically you pay a manager to achieve beta of less than 1). Up/Downside Capture is a measure of an investment manager’s performance during only the up or down movements of an index (ideally you want low downside and a fairly high level of upside): the numbers shown here are the fund’s up/down capture relative to the benchmark(s). Maximum drawdown measures the largest single drop in a class’s Net Asset Value Per Unit from peak to trough before establishing a higher peak (the smaller, the better).

There is no guarantee that a hedging strategy will be effective or achieve its intended effect. The use of derivatives or short selling carries several risks which may restrict a strategy in realizing its profits, limiting its losses, or, which cause a strategy to realize a loss. There may be additional costs and expenses associated with the use of derivatives and short selling in a hedging strategy.

The rate of return shown in the "Growth of $10,000 investment" graph is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future values of the investment fund or returns on investment in the investment fund.

*Investment Risk Rating is the historical volatility risk as measured by the standard deviation of fund performance, which is the standard methodology outlined in Appendix F Investment Risk Classification Methodology to NI 81-102 Investment Funds.

About the Fundata FundGrade A+® Rating

FundGrade A+® is used with permission from Fundata Canada Inc., all rights reserved. The annual FundGrade A+® Awards are presented by Fundata Canada Inc. to recognize the “best of the best” among Canadian investment funds. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year. The FundGrade Ratings are subject to change every month. The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering all time periods from 2 to 10 years. The scores are then weighted equally in calculating a monthly FundGrade. The top 10% of funds earn an A Grade; the next 20% of funds earn a B Grade; the next 40% of funds earn a C Grade; the next 20% of funds receive a D Grade; and the lowest 10% of funds receive an E Grade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+® uses a GPA-style calculation, where each monthly FundGrade from “A” to “E” receives a score from 4 to 0, respectively. A fund’s average score for the year determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is awarded a FundGrade A+® Award. For more information, see www.FundGradeAwards.com. Although Fundata makes every effort to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained herein, the accuracy is not guaranteed by Fundata. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year.
