VANCOUVER, April 30 /CNW/ - Qtrade Fund Management Inc. ("QFM"), manager of the QFM family of mutual funds (the "QFM Funds") and the Meritas family of mutual funds (the "Meritas Funds"), announced today plans to change its corporate name to OceanRock Investments Inc.

Full details of all fund changes are available from QFM and in a material change report to be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The fund changes are expected to be fully implemented by September, 2010 and are subject to applicable notice requirements and receipt of applicable unitholder and regulatory approvals.
