1 The 'up to 50% more' claim excludes the Questwealth Conservative Portfolio. "Earn up to 50% more", illustrates how investing with 4 out of the 5 Questwealth Portfolios ('QWP') could improve your retirement savings using a hypothetical example. The example assumes $50,000 compounds annually over 30 years at a growth rate equal to the average 5-year historical return of comparable mutual fund categories. Potential savings are based on a comparison of the highest MER charged by QWP versus the average MER of the Series 'A' mutual funds in the respective fund categories. Fees may change over time and actual results may vary. No representations and warranties are made as to the reasonableness of these assumptions.

Fee Rebate is on management fees in eligible QWP accounts only and only applicable to net new deposits if all eligibility conditions are met. Other fees for transactions and account administration will continue to apply. Offer has an enrollment period, where at least one new Qualifying Deposit must be received into an Eligible Account by December 31, 2024.
