Mutual fund shares or units of NCM Investments are offered for sale by way of prospectus in all provinces and territories of Canada. Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the NCM Investments prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in share or unit value and reinvestment of all dividends or distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any security holder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. If we have included a rate of return or mathematical table to illustrate the potential effects of a compound rate of return, it is not intended to reflect future values of the mutual fund or returns on investment in the mutual fund. Each series of the Fund has a different management fee, and accordingly the performance of each series will differ.
