2. Basis of preparation (continued):
(b) Basis of measurement:
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investments and
derivatives at fair value through profit or loss which are measured at fair value.
(c) Functional and presentation currency:
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Funds’ functional currency,
and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except where otherwise indicated.
(d) Use of judgements and estimates:
These financial statements include estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses, and gains and losses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are
recognised prospectively. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments and the unrealized
gains/losses from investments.
3. Significant accounting policies:
The Funds have consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these
financial statements.
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities:
(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized on
the trade date, which is the date on which the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument. Other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the date on
which they are originated.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at
fair value, with transaction costs recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Classification
Effective November 1, 2017, the Funds adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The standard
requires assets to be carried at amortized cost or fair value, with changes in fair value recognized
in profit and loss (FVTPL) or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) based on the
entity’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics
of the financial assets.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued):
(ii) Classification (continued)
Assessment and decision on the business model approach used is an accounting judgement.
Upon transition to IFRS 9, the Funds’ financial assets and financial liabilities that were classified as
fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) under IAS 39 continued to be categorized as fair value
through profit and loss. There were no changes in the measurement attributes for any of the
financial assets and financial liabilities upon transition to IFRS 9.
Under IFRS 9, derivatives are classified as FVTPL like other financial assets and liabilities, so there
is no requirement to present separately the different component amounts on the Statement of
Comprehensive Income as they fall within the same classification; this is a change from the
requirement under IAS 39 where derivatives were classified as Held for Trading.
However, Canadian Security Administrators (“CSA”) regulatory requirements under NI 81-106
prescribe the individual line items that are required to be disclosed which includes separate
disclosure for derivatives.
The Funds classify financial assets and financial liabilities into the following categories.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:
• All investments, including derivatives
Financial assets at amortized cost:
• Cash and cash equivalents and receivables
Financial liabilities at amortised cost:
• All liabilities other than redeemable shares
The Funds designate all financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss on initial
recognition because it manages securities on a fair value basis in accordance with its documented
investment strategy. Internal reporting and performance measurement of these securities and the
Fund as a whole is on a fair value basis. The Manager also receives management fees which are
based on the overall fair value of the Fund.
(iii) Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal

or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Fund has access at that date. The
fair value of a liability reflects its non–performance risk.
When available, the Funds measure fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active
market for that instrument. A market is regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability
take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
The Funds measure instruments quoted in an active market at last traded price.
For securities where market quotes are not available, the Corporation values the initial investment
at the amount paid. After initial investment, the Corporation uses estimation techniques to
determine fair value including observable market data, discounted cash flows and internal models
that compare the investments to its peer group.
Fair value of investments in restricted shares is determined using an economic model taking into
account various factors including risk free rate of interest, volatility, market value and length of the
restriction.
Fair value of investments in share purchase warrants is determined using a recognized economic
model taking into account various factors including risk free rate of interest, dividend rates,
volatility, market value and trading volume of the underlying stock.
Fair value of subscription receipts is determined using a recognized economic model taking into
account various factors including risk free interest rate, volatility, price of underlying security, expiry
date and purchase price.
Fair value of investments in bonds, asset–backed securities and secured loans represents a price
that may fall between the last bid and ask price provided by an independent security pricing
service, depending on which service provider is used.
There is no difference between pricing NAV and accounting NAV.
(iv) Amortized cost measurement
The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset
or financial liability is measured at recognition, minus principal repayments (if applicable), plus or
minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between
the initial amount recognized and the maturity amount (if applicable), minus any reduction for
impairment (if applicable).

(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued):
(v) Specific instruments
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits with banks and highly liquid financial assets with
maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk
of changes in their fair value and are used by the Funds in the management of short–term
commitments, other than cash collateral provided in respect of derivatives and securities borrowing
transactions.
Redeemable shares
The Funds classify financial instruments issued as financial liabilities or equity instruments in
accordance with the substance of the contractual terms of the instruments. The Funds have
multiple series of redeemable shares that do not have identical features and therefore, do not
qualify as equity under IAS 32, Financial Instruments. The redeemable shares, which are
classified as financial liabilities and measured at redemption amount, provide investors with the
right to require redemption, subject to available liquidity, for cash at a share price based on the
Funds’ valuation policies at each redemption date. The shares represent the residual interest in
the Funds.
The value at which mutual fund shares are issued or redeemed is determined by dividing the net
assets at fair value based on last traded price of each class by the total number of mutual fund
shares outstanding by the class on the valuation date.
(b) Interest for distribution purposes:
The interest for distribution purposes shown on the statements of comprehensive income represents
the coupon interest received by the Funds accounted for on an accrual basis and is recognized
through profit or loss. The Funds do not amortize premiums paid or discounts received on the
purchase of fixed income securities.
(c) Dividend income and dividend expense:
Dividend income and dividend expenses are recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the right
to receive or make payment is established. This is usually the ex–dividend date.
(d) Dividends to holders of redeemable shares:
Dividends per share is calculated as the total amount of dividends attributable to a series divided by
the number of shares at the date of distribution.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(e) Net gain (loss) from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss:
Net unrealized/realized gain/loss from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss is
calculated using the average cost method.
Average cost does not include amortization of premiums or discounts on fixed income securities.
(f) Income tax:
The Corporation qualifies as a "mutual fund corporation" under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the
Alberta Corporate Tax Act.
Interest and foreign dividends received, less applicable expenses, are taxed at Federal and Provincial
corporate rates less applicable credits for any foreign taxes paid. Taxable dividends received from
taxable Canadian corporations are subject to taxes that are fully refundable upon payment of sufficient
taxable dividends to shareholders.
The Corporation is also subject to tax at full corporate rates on 50% of capital gains realized, less
allowable capital losses claimed. This tax is generally refundable to the extent that the Corporation
distributes its capital gains to shareholders by way of a capital gains dividend, or through the
redemption of its shares.
Temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts may
be either taxable or deductible. Taxable temporary differences give rise to deferred income tax
liabilities and deductible temporary differences give rise to deferred income tax assets. When the fair
value of investments is greater than the related tax basis, a deferred income tax liability arises and the
deferred tax liability is offset by refundable taxes generated by future payments of capital gains
dividends. When the fair value of investments is less than the related tax basis, a deferred income tax
asset arises and due to the uncertainty of such deferred income tax assets ultimately being realized,
the temporary differences are not recognized. Any unused capital and non–capital losses represent
deferred tax assets to the Corporation for which the temporary differences are not recognized as it is
uncertain if they will be realized in the future.
Income that would give rise to current income tax liabilities are distributed out to shareholders.
(g) Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares:
Change in net assets attributable to shareholders per share is calculated as increase (decrease) in net
assets attributable to shareholders, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the
period.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(h) Translation of foreign currency:
Foreign currency amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars as follows:
(i) fair value of investments and accrued receivables and payables and other assets and liabilities at
the rate of exchange at the end of the period; and
(ii) purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognized as a component of net gain/loss from financial
instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
(i) Derivative financial instruments:
The Funds may use derivative financial instruments to reduce their exposure to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at mark to market with
changes in fair value recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.
Options are contracts entitling the holder to purchase or sell a specified item at a specified price,
during a specified period or on a specified date. Options purchased are recorded as investments;
options written (sold) are recorded as liabilities. Any gain or loss resulting from revaluation is included
in change in unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments on the statements of comprehensive
income. Upon closing of an option, other than by exercise, which results in a cash settlement, the
difference between the premium (original option value) and the settlement proceeds is included in net
realized gain (loss) on derivative instruments on the statements of comprehensive income. When
securities are acquired or delivered upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sale proceeds
are adjusted by the amount of the premium. When an option is closed, the difference between the
premium and the cost to close the position is included in net realized gain (loss) on derivatives on the
statements of comprehensive income. When an option expires, the premium for options written or
purchased is reflected in the statement of operations as net realized gain (loss) on derivative
instruments.
The risks include the possibility there may be an illiquid options market or the inability of the
counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contract. Writing options involves, to varying
degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial
position.
(j) Short selling:
A Fund may make short sales whereby a security that it does not own is sold in anticipation of a
decline in the fair value of the security. Securities that are sold short are valued at the last close price
reported by the principal securities exchange on which the security is traded on the financial statement

date. To enter into a short sale, the Fund must borrow the security for delivery to the buyer. Also,
while the transaction is open, the Fund will incur a liability for any paid dividends or interest that is due
to the lender of the security.
Selling securities short may present elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
statement of financial position.
4. Asset transfers:
On May 24, 2018, Norrep Short Duration 2017 Flow–Through Limited Partnership transferred certain
assets of the partnership to NCM Opportunities Corp. in exchange for 890,181 NCM Energy Plus Class
Series F shares with a value of $7,998,272. The assets transferred were as follows:
(in Canadian dollars) May 24, 2018 Cash and cash equivalents 1,427,672 Investments, at fair value 6,570,600 Value of assets received and mutual fund shares issued 7,998,272
5. Fair value measurement:
(a) Investments:
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded on active markets are based
on quoted market prices. For all other financial instruments, the Corporation determines fair values
using other valuation techniques.
For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less
objective, and requires varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, uncertainty of market
factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument.
A three–tier hierarchy is used as a framework for disclosing fair value based on inputs used to value
the Fund’s investments. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
• Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1);
• Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for instruments, either
directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) (Level 2). This category includes
instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted
prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other
valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market
data; and

5. Fair value measurement (continued):
(a) Investments (continued):
• Inputs for the instruments that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
(Level 3). This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs
not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the
instrument’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on the quoted
prices for similar instruments but for which significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions
are required to reflect differences between the instruments.
Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level.
The Funds recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting
period during which the change occurred.
(b) Fair value hierarchy – Financial instruments measured at fair value:
The tables below analyze investments measured at fair value at March 31, 2019 and September 30,
2018 by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The

6. Financial instruments and associated risks:
Each Fund’s activities expose it to a variety of risks associated with financial instruments as follows: credit
risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk). Each Fund’s
overall risk management program seeks to maximize the returns for the level of risk to which the Fund is
exposed and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Funds’ financial performance. All
investments result in a risk of loss of capital.
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or
commitment that it has entered into with the Funds. The fair value of debt securities includes
consideration of the credit worthiness of the debt issuer. The carrying amount of bonds and secured loans
as presented on the schedules of investment portfolios represent the maximum credit risk exposure. This
also applies to cash and cash equivalents and receivables as they have a short–term settlement.
A portion of each Fund’s portfolio may consist of instruments that have a credit quality rated below
investment grade by internationally recognized credit rating organizations or may be unrated. These
securities involve significant risk exposure as there is uncertainty regarding the issuer's capacity to pay
interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. Low rated and unrated debt
instruments generally offer a higher current yield than that available from higher grade issuers, but
typically involve greater risk.
As at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Funds were invested in debt securities with the
following credit ratings:
NCM Income Growth Class
Debt Security by Credit Rating % of Assets Under Management in each category
March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018
BB 5.7% 5.0% B 4.0% 2.5%
NCM Global Income Growth Class
Debt Security by Credit Rating % of Assets Under Management in each category March 31, 2019 September 30, 2018
BB 8.9% 7.7% B 2.4% 2.9% CCC 0.8% 0.8% Unrated 0.8% 0.7%
Credit risk arising on transactions for shares purchased and portfolio assets sold relates to transactions
awaiting settlement, also known as settlement risk.
‘Settlement risk’ is the risk of loss due to the failure of an entity to honour its obligations to deliver cash,
securities or other assets as contractually agreed.

13 NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NCM OPPORTUNITIES CORP. | MARCH 31, 2019
6. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued):
Credit risk (continued):
Credit risk relating to unsettled transactions is considered small due to the short settlement period involved
and the high credit quality of the brokers used.
For the majority of the transactions, the Funds mitigate this risk by conducting settlements through a
broker to ensure that a trade is settled only when both parties have fulfilled their contractual settlement
obligations. Also, legal entitlement will not pass until all monies have been received for the units
purchased or the portfolio assets sold. If either party does not meet its obligation then the transaction will
fail.
The majority of the assets of the Funds are held by CIBC Mellon, the custodian, with some assets held at
Scotia Capital Inc., the prime broker. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the custodian may cause the Funds’
rights with respect to securities held by the custodian to be delayed or limited. The Funds monitor their
risk by monitoring the credit quality and credit rating and financial position of the custodian the Funds use.
If the credit quality or the financial position deteriorates significantly then the Portfolio Manager will move
the cash holdings to another financial institution.
The Portfolio Manager analyzes credit concentration based on the counterparty, industry and geographical
location of the financial assets that the Funds hold.
Other than outlined above there were no significant concentrations of credit risk to counterparties at March
31, 2019 and September 30, 2018. No individual investments exceeded eleven percent of the net assets
attributable to holders of redeemable shares at March 31, 2019 (September 30, 2018 – 20%) in each
Fund.
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that a Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets.
The Funds are exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable shares. Investments in small, mid–
capitalization and micro–capitalization companies may involve greater risks than in larger, more
established companies since such companies may have more limited markets and financial resources and
their securities may be more sensitive to market changes. As well, the liquidity of the securities may be
limited. Consequently, in order to fund redemptions, the Funds may have to liquidate shareholdings in the
more liquid large and medium–sized companies.
To the extent that the liquidity is limited, the Funds’ ability to realize profits and/or minimize losses may be
limited, which could adversely affect the net asset value of the Fund. Also, the Funds’ investments may
include unlisted equity instruments, which are not traded on an organized public market and which may be
illiquid.

6. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued):
Liquidity risk (continued):
As a result, a Fund may not be able to quickly liquidate some of its investments in these instruments at an
amount close to their fair value in order to meet its liquidity requirements. The Funds believe they
maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain liquidity.
The Funds’ liquidity risk is managed on a daily basis by the Portfolio Manager. Minimum cash and cash
equivalent balances will be required to be maintained in the Fund at the discretion of the Portfolio Manager
to allow for monies to cover redemptions. The Funds’ redemption policy allows for redemptions at any
time during any given month.
The Funds are subject to regulatory requirements whereby the Fund shall not purchase an illiquid asset if,
immediately after the purchase, more than 10 percent of the net assets of the fund, taken at market value
at the time of purchase, would consist of illiquid assets. Residual contractual maturities of financial
liabilities are all due on demand with the exception of the performance bonus. The performance bonus
may be due anywhere from two months to an unknown date. The terms of the performance bonus are
explained in note 8(a).

Market risk (continued):
NCM Global Income Growth Class, NCM Energy Plus Class and NCM Entrepreneurs Class portfolios
may consist of all types of equity and debt obligations of issuers across the globe that may or may not be
listed for trading upon the facilities of stock exchanges or other organized and regulated trading facilities.
Assets of the Funds may also be invested in debt obligations or held in cash and cash equivalents to the
extent that economic, market or other conditions make it appropriate.
Covered call options may be used to generate income from a security in a portfolio. The Fund benefits if
the price of the security stays below the strike price plus the premium of the written call option. If the price
of the security rises above the strike price plus the premium of the written call option, the strategy will have
underperformed the price return of the security; however, the overall return on the position will still be
positive.
Cash covered put options may be written in an attempt to purchase a security below the current market
price and/or to generate income. If the price of the security falls to the strike price of the put option, the
Fund may be assigned to purchase the security at the strike price. If the price of the security is below the
strike price less the premium of the put option, the Fund will have a loss on the position; however, will
have upside profit potential if the purchased security is held. Cash covered means that there are sufficient
funds available to purchase the security at the strike price.
No material change in the investment objectives, policies or restrictions of the Funds may be made without
the approval of a two–thirds majority of the votes cast by shareholders at a meeting of the Fund duly called
for that purpose.
The Funds’ market risk is managed on a daily basis by the Portfolio Manager in accordance with the
policies and procedures in place.
Details of the nature of the Fund’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2019 are disclosed in the schedule of
investment portfolio.
(a) Currency risk:
The Funds may invest in financial instruments and enter into transactions denominated in currencies
other than the Canadian dollar. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to risks that the exchange rate
of the Canadian dollar to other foreign currencies may fluctuate.
The Funds may use derivatives to hedge the Funds’ foreign currency exposure. Such permitted
derivatives may include exchange–traded options, futures contracts and options on futures, over–the–
counter options, and forward contracts.
At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Funds had the following foreign currency exposure
as a percentage of the net asset value, including the impact of outstanding derivative instruments:

Market risk (continued):
(b) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk arises on interest bearing financial instruments. The majority of the Funds’ assets are
non–interest–bearing, with the exception of NCM Income Growth Class and NCM Global Income
Growth Class. As a result, the Funds are subject to limited exposure to interest rate risks due to
fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.
NCM Income Growth Class and NCM Global Income Growth Class own interest bearing assets in the
form of senior secured loans and/or bonds. Senior secured loans are priced with a floating rate of
interest which typically resets quarterly and results in minimal exposure to interest rate risk.
Government bonds and investment grade bonds are fixed rate securities and have exposure to
interest rate risk. This exposure can be estimated by the bond’s duration.
High yield corporate bonds are also fixed rate securities but have less exposure to interest rate risk.
The value of these securities is impacted more by credit fundamentals such as cash flow, profitability
and debt servicing ability than by prevailing interest rates.
The table below summarizes the Funds’ exposure to interest rate risks at March 31, 2019 and
September 30, 2018. It includes the Funds’ assets at fair values, categorized by the maturity dates.

6. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued):
Market risk (continued):
(c) Other price risk:
Other price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in
market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by
factors specific to an individual investment or its issuer, or factors affecting all instruments traded in
the market. All securities present a risk of loss of capital. However, the Funds which hold short
positions are subject to certain inherent risks. The ultimate cost to the Funds to acquire these
securities may exceed the liability reflected in these financial statements.
Price risk is managed by the Fund’s Portfolio Manager by constructing a diverse portfolio of securities.
The price of a security is affected by individual company developments and by general economic and
financial conditions in those industries and countries where the issuer of the security is located, does
business or where the security, if applicable, is listed for trading. Certain securities are not listed on
any prescribed stock exchange and thus a liquid market for resale may not exist.
The Portfolio Manager will monitor these factors daily and make decisions regarding the portfolio
based on their knowledge of the market conditions and diversify the portfolio of investments
accordingly. The maximum price risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair
value.
Sensitivity analysis:
A 1% increase or decrease on the following indexes at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018

7. Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares:
The authorized capital of each Fund consists of an unlimited number of special shares, each issuable in
series. Currently there are primarily three series outstanding, Series A, Series F and Series I. However,
the NCM Income Growth Class has six series outstanding, Series A, Series F, Series I, Series B, Series
T6 and Series F6, NCM Global Income Growth has five series outstanding, Series A, Series F, Series I,
Series T6, and Series F6. NCM US Dividend Plus Class has four series outstanding, Series A, Series F,
Series I, and Series R. Each series ranks equally with respect to dividends and return of capital in the
event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up based on their respective series’ net asset values. Each
series pays its own fees and expenses. Series A and Series B are sold through one of two sales charge
options. Under the front end sales charge option, a commission ranging from 0 to 5% is paid by the
investor to the dealer with a 2% redemption fee being charged if the shares are redeemed in the first 90
days. Under the low load deferred sales charge option, a 2.25% commission is paid by NCM to the
dealer.

7. Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares (continued):
Redemption fees are 3.0% in the first year, 2.5% in the second year and 2.0% in the third year; however,
investors can redeem up to 10% of their shares without paying redemption fees. Series T6 is only sold
through the front end sales charge option. The Series F and Series F6 are sold without commission
provided the purchaser is enrolled in a fee–for–service or wrap program with the dealer. Series I are sold
without commission. A 2% redemption fee is charged if the Series F, Series I or Series F6 are redeemed
in the first 30 days.
Series I shares are available to certain investors at the Portfolio Manager’s discretion.
On October 1, 2018, NCM US Dividend Plus Class issued Series R shares. There are no sales charges or
commissions payable in respect of purchases of Series R shares. Series R is only available for purchase
by the NCM Funds and other funds and accounts managed or advised by the Manager and/or its affiliates.
In addition, the Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The Funds’
special shares have priority over the common shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the
distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution on winding up of the
Corporation. 20 common shares were issued on incorporation for $20.
The rights attached to the redeemable shares are as follows:
• the shares may be redeemed daily at the net asset value per share of the respective series;
• redeemable shares carry a right to receive notice of, attend and vote at meetings; and
• the holders of redeemable shares are entitled to receive all dividends declared by the Fund. Each
series will rank equally with respect to the distributions based on their respective series net asset
values. Dividends paid in cash will be paid in the currency in which the investor bought the units.
The analysis of movements in the number of redeemable shares and net assets attributable to holders of
redeemable shares during the period was as follows:
