| Corporate Class Funds | The All World Tax Advantage Group is a mutual fund corporation that currently offers approximately 20 different classes of securities. In addition to fund diversification by investment style, geography and market capitalization, a key benefit of investing in any of the classes within the group is the possibility of sharing incurred expenses (and losses) of the combined structure potentially offsetting income earnings to minimize chance of a dividend declaration. While the articles of AGF All World Tax Advantage Group Limited provide authority to make distributions out of capital and AGF All World Tax Advantage Group Limited intends both to calculate capital in the manner contemplated by the corporate statute for corporations that are not mutual fund corporations and only to declare distributions out of capital if there is sufficient capital attributable to a series, no definitive case law exists to confirm that a mutual fund corporation may make distributions of capital and how it is to be calculated. Further, no advance income tax ruling has been requested or obtained from Canada Revenue Agency, nor is AGF aware of any published advance income tax ruling or the possibility of obtaining such a ruling, regarding the characterization of such distributions or the calculation of capital for such purposes. |
| Series T and V Disclaimer | The targeted annual distribution is based on the Fund’s or Portfolio’s previous year-end net asset value and is subject to change. Monthly distributions on Series T and Series V shares may generally be a return of capital so long as there is sufficient capital attributable to the relevant series. Your adjusted cost base 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. |
| Distributions Disclaimers | 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, and income and dividends earned by a fund, are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base 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. |
| AGF Gold Label | In order to invest in and maintain participation in the AGF Gold Label program (Series Q and/or W), a minimum of $100,000 in Series Q and/or W per Fund (in each account) or $250,000 in aggregate household assets in Series Q and/or W is required. Management fees (for Series Q and W) as well as service fees (for Series Q only) within the AGF Gold Label program will be taken out directly from client accounts. For AGF Gold Label clients, AGF pays the operating expenses, custody and other administration-related costs (except brokerage commissions, counterparty fees, IRC fees or other extraordinary items). Tier level discounts apply only to the dollar amount(s) grouped in each particular tier. |
