Mutual Fund Disclaimers
 

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Fund unit values and investment returns will fluctuate. Important information is contained in each mutual fund's prospectus. Prospectuses can be obtained through ScotiaMcLeod.

We consider most of this site to be investor information about mutual funds and investing for our existing clients, and not sales communication. However, if you consider this site to be sales communication, National Policy 39 requires that we also add the following:

Required Disclosure and Warning Language for Sales Communications

A sales communication that includes a rate of return or mathematical table illustrating the potential effect of a compound rate of return shall contain a statement in substantially the following words:

The rate of return or mathematical table shown is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future values of the mutual fund or asset allocation service or returns on investment in the mutual fund or from the use of the asset allocation service.

Required Disclosure and Warning Language for Sales Communications without performance data

A sales communication of a mutual fund that is not a money market fund (i.e.; anything other than a money market fund) and that does not contain performance data shall contain a warning in substantially the following words:

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, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

A sales communication of a money market mutual fund that does not contain performance data shall contain a warning in substantially the following words:

Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated.

A sales communication for an asset allocation service that does not contain performance data shall contain a warning in substantially the following words:
