The Creststreet Dividend & Income Fund is the successor fund to the Creststreet Managed Equity Index Fund ("CMEIF").

Tax Deferred Switching between Fund Classes
Creststreet Mutual Funds Limited offers three fund classes; the Creststreet Resource Fund, the Creststreet Alternative Energy Fund and now the Creststreet Dividend & Income Fund. Investors can switch shares from one Fund to another on a tax-deferred "rollover" basis where the event will not result in a capital gain or loss and the adjusted cost base of the shares of the new Fund acquired on the switch will be equal to the adjusted cost base of the shares switched from the former Fund.
