*These annual awards recognize the best of the best among Canadian investment funds that have maintained a high FundGrade rating throughout a calendar year. FundGrade ranks and grades Canadian investment funds monthly against their peers using risk-adjusted performance metrics measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. It’s a completely quantitative measure. To make the grades relevant, funds are only measured against similar investment products with comparable investment mandates.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with investment fund investments. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the investment fund. Please read the prospectus before investing. There is no assurance that any fund will achieve its investment objective, and its net asset value, yield, and investment return will fluctuate from time to time with market conditions. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. The indicated rate of return is the historical annual compounded total return including changes in share/unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and does not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns.
