  • This type of investment offers attractive long-term growth potential.
  • Mutual funds are professionally managed, so you don’t have to be an expert to take advantage of this more complicated investment vehicle.

Before investing, carefully read through a mutual funds’ prospectus for important information about mutual funds. Remember that commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with mutual fund investments. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, and since their values change frequently, past performance may not be repeated. Investment returns and unit values will fluctuate. Mutual Funds are distributed through Desjardins Financial Security Investments Inc.
