("Manulife Securities") do not make any representation that the information in any linked site is accurate and will not accept any responsibility or liability for any inaccuracies in the information not maintained by them, such as linked sites.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. The payment of distributions from an income trust mutual fund should not be confused with a fund's performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, then your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a fund and income and dividends earned by a fund are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, then you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero. Labour-sponsored investment funds (LSIFs) are not guaranteed, their value changes frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Availability and amounts of tax credits are subject to certain conditions and limitations and are subject to repayment if shares are not held for eight years.

There are a number of risks associated with an investment. Investors should refer to each Partnership's offering documents for details. Important information about this offering is contained in the prospectus relating to this offering, a copy of which should be obtained from the agents or the offices of designated subagents. You should review the prospectus carefully, and consult your Advisors, including tax Advisors, before making an investment decision. This material does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security. Such an offer can only be made by prospectus.

Using borrowed money to finance the purchase of securities involves greater risk than a purchase using cash resources only. If you borrow money to purchase securities, your responsibility to repay the loan and pay interest as required by its terms remains the same even if the value of the securities purchased declines.
