The changes will be effective immediately. The changes are based on the methodology mandated by the Canadian Securities Administrators to determine the risk level of mutual funds. CI reviews the risk rating for each fund at a minimum on an annual basis, as well as when a fund undergoes a material change. These changes are the result of an annual review, and are not results of any changes to the investment objectives, strategies or management of the funds.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
