The investment risk level of an exchange traded fund
("ETF") such as HRAA is determined in accordance with a
standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National
Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the
historical volatility of the ETF, as measured by the 10-year
standard deviation of the returns of the ETF. If an ETF has less
than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of
the ETF is calculated using the return history of the ETF, and, for
the remainder of the 10 year period, the return history of a
reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the
standard deviation of the ETF.
No changes have been made to the investment objectives or
strategies of HRAA as a result of the changes to the risk ratings.
A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, investment
objectives and strategies of HRAA can be found in HRAA's most
recently filed prospectus.
