CONTENTS OF FUND PROSPECTUS⁽¹⁾

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

This Form describes the disclosure that is required in a fund prospectus of a mutual fund. Each Item of this Form outlines disclosurerequirements. Instructions to help you provide this disclosure are printed in italic type.
Terms defined in National Instrument 81-101 Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure, National Instrument 81-102 Mutual Funds or NationalInstrument 81-105 Mutual Fund Sales Practices and used in this Form have the meanings that they have in those national instruments.
The fund prospectus is intended to be a free-standing document that can be read without reference to the related fund summary. The fundprospectus does not include the financial statements of the mutual fund. The financial statements are required by National Instrument 81-101to be delivered to any person or company that requests them.
The fund prospectus shall include all of the information contained in the related fund summary. Disclosure of that information is expected tobe expanded in the fund prospectus either as a result of the requirements of this Form or because the mutual fund wants to provide fullerdescriptions of matters than can be accommodated in the fund summary in order to satisfy its obligation to provide purchasers of its securitieswith full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to those securities. Where this Form requires a mutual fund to provide thedisclosure required by a specified Item of Form 81-101F1 (the "Fund Summary Form"), the mutual fund should consider whether theinformation needs to be expanded beyond what is contained in the related fund summary in order to satisfy its statutory obligations. A mutualfund may also include information, including educational material, in the fund prospectus not specifically contemplated by the Items in thisForm.
Unless otherwise required by this Form, the information contained in the related fund summary may be presented in a different format andstyle in the fund prospectus than in the fund summary. The fund prospectus is required by National Instrument 81-101 to be presented in aformat that assists in readability and comprehension. Whereas this Form does not mandate the use of a specific format to achieve this goal,mutual funds are encouraged to use, as appropriate, tables, captions, bullet points or other organizational techniques that assist in presentingthe disclosure clearly.
The fund prospectus may contain photographs and artwork only if they are relevant to the business of the mutual fund, mutual fund family ormembers of the organization of the mutual fund and are not misleading.
As with the fund summary, the fund prospectus is to be prepared using plain language. Reference should be made to Part 3 of CompanionPolicy 81-101CP for a discussion concerning plain language and presentation.
This Form generally sets out requirements for the fund prospectus of a "mutual fund". Even though this Form speaks of one mutual fund, afund prospectus may describe more than one mutual fund. One fund prospectus can be prepared for all mutual funds in a mutual fund family,even where the mutual fund family has chosen to prepare more than one fund summary for its mutual funds. A fund prospectus that describesmore than one mutual fund shall be organized as follows:
one part of the fund prospectus shall contain fund-specific information; in that part of the fund prospectus, information about eachmutual fund shall be provided on a fund by fund or "catalogue" basis, with the information for each mutual fund set out separately, andstarting on a separate page, in a manner similar to that required for a fund summary; and
the rest of the fund prospectus shall contain general information that is common to all, or substantially all, of the mutual funds towhich the fund prospectus pertains.
The back cover shall contain the information required by Item 33.
Except as required in paragraphs (8) and (9) of these Instructions, and despite requirements contained in the Fund Summary Form, it is notnecessary to disclose the Items required by this Form in a fund prospectus in any particular order or under any particular heading. This isunlike the rule for a fund summary, which provides that information contained in a fund summary must be in the order and under the headingsrequired by the Fund Summary Form.
At the option of the mutual fund, any footnotes provided for under any Item of this Form may be deleted if the substance of the footnotes isotherwise provided.

1. A number of the disclosure obligations contained in this Form were published for comment as part of proposed National Instrument 81-102 Mutual Funds ("NI81-102"). Thoseprovisions will be deleted from NI81-102 before that proposed Instrument is finalized and moved to this Form so that all disclosure provisions concerning conventional mutual funds can bein one instrument.

5. This provision is related to the provisions concerning failed purchases of securities of a mutual fund contained in subsections 9.4(4), (5) and (6) of NI81-102. Those provisions providethat a mutual fund shall reverse failed purchases, and requires dealers involved with the failed purchase to compensate the mutual fund for losses incurred by it as a result of the failure tosettle. NI81-102 does not provide for the ability of those dealers to seek compensation from their clients. Section 9.3 of Policy 81-102CP states that dealers may wish to provide for a rightof recovery against their clients in such circumstances. This disclosure is intended to alert investors of the possibility of those arrangements.

6. This provision corresponds to Item 12(5), and pertains to the possibility that dealers may make arrangements with clients for compensation in the case of failed redemptions in the samemanner as Item 12(5) relates to failed purchases. This provision relates to section 10.5 of NI81-102 and section 9.3 of Policy 81-102CP.

7. The Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA") are considering what, if any, disclosure a mutual fund should make if an individual employed by the manager or a portfolio adviserstops providing portfolio management services in respect of the mutual fund. The issue is most acute in cases in which the mutual fund has promoted that individual's expertise orreputation in its advertising. The CSA will consider this issue in their review of NI81-102 and the obligation contained in that proposed Instrument for mutual funds to disclose "significantchanges".
