We reserve the right to change these additional terms and conditions from time to time at our sole discretion and without notice. Any changes will be effective on the date they are posted.

If you do not agree with the following additional terms and conditions your sole remedy is to discontinue your use of the Service(s).

In addition to the disclaimers and limitations of liability provided below, the following additional Service-specific terms and conditions also apply:

Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Rating: The Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Rating, commonly referred to as the Star Rating, relates the risk-adjusted performance of a fund to that of its category peers. Morningstar calculates ratings only for categories that contain at least five funds with sufficient history. To determine a fund's rating, the fund and its peers are ranked by their Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Returns. If a fund scores in the top 10% of its fund category, it receives five stars (High); if it falls in the next 22.5%, it receives four stars (Above Average); if it places in the middle 35%, it earns a fund three stars (Neutral or Average); those in the next 22.5% receive two stars (Below Average); and the lowest 10% get one star (Low).

Morningstar also accounts for instances where a fund is sold in multiple versions (corporate class, trust, F-class, etc.). In order to prevent one fund from unfairly taking up many places in a portion of the ratings scale, Morningstar treats multiple versions of a fund as "fractional funds." The multiple versions of a fund are all rated, but they collectively count as one and so leave more room for other deserving funds.

Also, Morningstar calculates Star Ratings within separate universes for mutual funds and segregated funds. This enables investors to make more relevant comparisons within the two groups of funds. Seg funds include an insurance component, which adds to their costs. That translates into higher management expense ratios, which reduce investment returns.

The overall Star Rating for a fund is a weighted combination of its three-, five-, and 10-year ratings. If a fund has less than three years' performance history, it is not rated. If it has at least three but less than five years' history, its overall rating is equal to its three-year rating. If it has at least five but less than 10 years' history, its overall rating is equal to 60% of its five-year rating and 40% of its three-year rating. If it has at least 10 years' history, its overall rating is equal to 50% of its 10-year rating, 30% of its five-year rating and 20% of its three-year rating.

Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Ratings are recalculated monthly. For greater detail on the calculation of the Morningstar Star Ratings, you may visit Morningstar's website (www.morningstar.ca).

Ratings are those of Morningstar, and Invesco Trimark does not guarantee accuracy.

Online tax slips/contribution receipts: If there is a discrepancy between the information displayed on the tax slips and contribution receipts on our website and the documents that have been mailed to you, the information on the mailed documents prevails.
