*Investment Shares are not an ongoing investment offering, however, periodically existing Investment Shares are redeemed and become available for sale. When offered, Investment Shares are sold for a limited period, on a first-come, first-served basis and are TFSA, and RRSP eligible.

It is important to note Investment Shares are not eligible for insurance by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA). As well, the dividends are not guaranteed.
