Desjardins Funds are offered by Desjardins Financial Services Firm Inc., a Desjardins Group company. The Desjardins Funds are not guaranteed, their value fluctuates frequently and their past performance is not indicative of their future returns. The indicated rates of return for the Diapason portfolios are the historical annual compounded total returns assuming the investment strategy recommended by the asset allocation service is used and after deduction of fees and charges in respect of the service. The Desjardins Funds returns are based on the historical annual compounded total returns (as of 30 October 2009), including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions, and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any security holder, that would have reduced returns. Desjardins Funds securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There is no guarantee that Desjardins Money Market Funds will maintain their net asset value by security or that the full amount of your investment will be returned to you. Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments and the use of an asset allocation service. Please read the Desjardins Funds simplified prospectus before investing.
