EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGES FOR MEMBERS

Flexible income optionsDo you want access to a portion of your investments? The income options available in a Chorus II Portfolio2 are a great way to help you manage your finances, providing you with the possibility of a monthly income while the rest of your money keeps on growing.

Your representative can help you choose the income option that’s best for you. And you can change it any time you need to.

For instance, if you opt for fixed monthly distributions, the income you receive will be primarily a return of capital. Since it’s not immediately taxable, that means a potentially higher net income.3

INVESTMENT INCOME THAT FITS WITH YOUR LIFE

2 Only for T- and S-class units.3 If the rate of return is lower than the distribution rate, any return of

capital will reduce the Portfolio’s net asset value and impair its capacity to generate future income.
