On June 5, 2009, the Fund underwent a merger that was a material change for the Fund under applicable securities laws. As such, in accordance with such laws, we may only disclose performance for periods after June 5, 2009. Securities laws prohibit the publishing of performance information for funds with a track record less than one year. Also on that date, the Fund changed its name from IA Clarington Diversified Income Fund to IA Clarington Tactical Income Fund, its investment objectives, and Catapult Financial Management was appointed by the manager as sub-advisor to the Fund.  These changes could affect the performance of the Fund.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing.

Any indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in security 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.

On November 17, 2006, Industrial Alliance Investment Management Inc. assumed portfolio advisory responsibilities for the Fund. The Fund’s investment strategy was changed as a result of this change. These changes could have affected the performance of the Fund.

* The payment of distributions and distribution breakdown is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. 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, then 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 goes below zero, then you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero. For more information about the Fund’s distribution policy and the conditions under which the distribution rate shown may change, please refer to the simplified prospectus.

Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

The portfolio manager uses a Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) investment style and seeks out companies with a strong competitive position, strong balance sheet and stable management. The Fund will generally be diversified across various sectors and asset classes. The fixed income portion of the portfolio will usually have a target duration of between three and seven years, although individual fixed income securities may deviate from this target.
