3. The Pooled Funds fit within the definitionof "mutual fund in Ontario" in section 1(1) of theAct and are thus required to file with the Commission interimfinancial statements under subsection 77(2) of the Act andcomparative annual financial statements under subsection 78(1)of the Act (collectively, the "Financial Statements").

5. As required by subsection 94(1) of theRegulation, the Permitted Financial Statements will containa statement indicating that additional information as to portfoliotransactions will be provided to a Unitholder without chargeon request to a specified address and,

(a) the omitted information shall be sentpromptly and without charge to each Unitholder that requestsit in compliance with the indication; and
