  • *Selected Investment Risks
    • An investment in units of m+ funds may not be appropriate for all investors. Units in any m+ fund are offered only by prospectus. You should read carefully the prospectus for any fund before investing, including the risks described therein.
    • Investors purchasing units are subject to upfront sales charges and organization costs which vary per fund and depend on the type of account purchasing the units, all described in the corresponding prospectus.
    • The value of the fund will decrease by ongoing fees and expenses.
    • The trusts are designed for investors who intend to hold the units until the trust mandatory dissolution date.
    • The structure of these securities may be complex and the suitability of an investment should be considered based on your investment objective, risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons.
    • The value of the fund will vary and fluctuate as the FLEX listed options do. Prior to the fund’s maturity date, the fund may not increase in line with changes in the referenced ETF. FLEX option prices are impact­ed by such market factors as time left to maturity, interest rates, and implied volatility.
    • The ability of the trust to meet its objective depends on the OCC’s ability to meet its obligations.
    • Unlike a direct investment in the referenced ETF, investors in the fund are not entitled to receive divi­dends.
    • Liquidity of the listed options used in a fund may be limited in certain circumstances.
    • You should consider the portfolio’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. Contact your financial advisor to request a prospectus, which will contain this and other information about the portfolio. Read it carefully before you invest.
