Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. The
indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in share 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. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values
change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government
deposit insurer.
The payment of distributions for Dividend Tax Credit Class and the Return of Capital Class should not be confused with a mutual fund’s performance, rate of return or yield.
If distributions paid by a mutual fund are greater than the performance of the fund, then your investment will decline. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a
mutual fund and income and dividends earned by a fund are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. For Return of Capital Class, your adjusted cost base will be reduced
by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, then you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.
Tax liabilities on investment income and capital gains earned by a mutual fund cannot be mitigated nor can they be fully managed in all circumstances. The risk increases the
greater the investment return earned by the mutual fund. As a result, a mutual fund may be required to make taxable distributions to investors in a NexGen Tax Class for which
a distribution or type of distribution is not optimal or in accordance with their tax preference. The tax efficiency of the Return of Capital Class and the Compound Growth Class is
enhanced the greater the demand for the Capital Gains Class, Dividend Tax Credit Class and the Registered. 2016-04-26
