Notification of underlying fund changes to your Clarica Portfolio Segregated Fund investment
Dear Policyholder,
CI Investments seeks to provide investors with a diverse selection of high-quality and efficiently-managed investment products. With that goal in mind, CI is planning a merger of the underlying fund, CI Alpine Growth Equity Fund, into CI Canadian Small/Mid Cap Fund.
As a result, this fund merger affects your Clarica Portfolio segregated fund contract issued by Sun Life Assurance
Company of Canada and managed by CI Investments.
Upon completion of the mutual fund merger, your investment's underlying fund will change and Clarica SF CI Alpine Growth Equity Fund and Clarica SF Growth Fund will invest in units of CI Canadian Small/Mid Cap Fund. These changes will be effective on or about July 10, 2015. Below is a summary of the changes:
Clarica Portfolio Segregated Fund Current Underlying Mutual Fund New Underlying Mutual Fund | ||
Clarica SF CI Alpine Growth Equity Fund | CI Alpine Growth Equity Fund | CI Canadian Small/Mid Cap Fund |
Clarica SF Growth Fund | CI Alpine Growth Equity Fund | CI Canadian Small/Mid Cap Fund |
This will have a minimal impact on the nature of your investments, since the old underlying fund and the new underlying fund share substantially similar investment objectives.
