Investment strategy changes
Investors Portfolios
Effective on or about September 11, 2020 a change in strategy will occur which removes the predetermined underlying fund exposure to certain Investors Portfolios. This will allow them to actively shift their investments in the mandates without having to provide advance notice to their Securityholders.

These changes will provide the Funds with a more flexible asset allocation approach and should allow them to respond more quickly to changing market conditions in accordance with their investment objectives.

This change in strategy applies to the following Investors Portfolios:

• Investors Income Plus Portfolio
• Investors Growth Portfolio
• Investors Growth Plus Portfolio
• Investors Retirement Growth Portfolio
• Investors Retirement Plus Portfolio
• Investors Cornerstone Portfolio

This is not a solicitation to purchase securities of these funds. Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus of the mutual funds before investing. Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. These funds are distributed across Canada by Investors Group Financial Services Inc., (in Quebec, a financial services firm) and Investors Group Securities Inc. (in Quebec, a firm in financial planning).
