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. Borrowing to
invest is suitable only for investors with higher risk tolerance.
You should be fully aware of the risks and benefits as both investment
losses and gains may be magnified. The value of your investment will
vary and is not necessarily guaranteed; however, you must meet your
loan and income tax obligation and repay your loan in full. Please
read the terms of your loan agreement and the investment details for
important information and discuss with your financial advisor how
to borrow and invest.
Mutual fund units and other securities may be purchased using available cash, borrowed money or a combination of cash and borrowed money. The term leveraging is used when borrowed money is used for all or some of the purchase. Leveraging magnifies both the gains and losses on the investment.
When an investment is purchased solely with cash, the percentage gain or loss will equal the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the securities. When leveraging is used other factors must be taken into consideration such as, the percentage of the purchase that is leveraged and the terms of the loan used to secure the purchase.
In the terms of the loan the lender may require that the amount outstanding on the loan not rise above an agreed percentage of the market value of the securities. In the event of this occurrence the borrower must pay down the loan with other cash resources or sell the securities thereby returning to the agreed upon loan –to-value relationship. The sale of securities to meet the loan agreements may at times have to be done at a loss. Money is also required to pay the interest on the loan. Investors borrowing money to purchase investments are advised to have adequate financial resources in order to pay the interest and to reduce the loan if required by the loan arrangements.
Leveraging Example:
$100,000 of mutual fund units are purchased of which $25,000 is used from available cash and $75,000 is borrowed money.
If the value of the units decline by 10% the equity interest (Value of the securities less the amount borrowed) falls to $15,000 ($90,000 - $75,000). This represents a 40% decline of the cash invested.
Investors considering borrowing to purchase securities should be aware that the purchase with borrowed monies involves greater risk than a purchase using available cash resources only. To what extent a purchase using borrowed monies involves undue risk is a determination to be made by each purchaser and will vary depending on the circumstances of the purchaser and the securities purchased.
