POSITIONING STATEMENT


A top-down global fixed-income fund that invests in sovereign investment grade fixed income.

WHY CONSIDER THIS FUND?

  • This fund is for conservative investors seeking a core foreign, fixed-income fund to provide monthly income.
  • Investors must be willing to accept a higher degree of risk than a domestic fixed-income fund.
  • This fund would be an excellent complement to a domestic or foreign equity fund.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments.  Please read the prospectus before investing.  The indicated rate[s] of return is [are] the historical annual compounded total return[s] including changes in [share or unit] value and reinvestment of all [dividends or distributions] and does [do] 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. The payment of distributions should not be confused with a fund's performance, rate of return or yield.  If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a fund, an income and dividends earned by a fund are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost based will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base falls below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.
