Overview Chart of the Balanced Flexifonds Fund

Overview Chart of the Balanced Flexifonds Fund

When savers invest in a mutual fund, they purchase units. Revalued each trading day, the market value per unit is the value of one unit.
The management expense ratio (MER) is already deducted from the reported returns.
This chart shows how Series 1 units of the Fund performed over the past 4 years. On an annual basis, the value of the Fund decreased during one of these 4 years. The range of returns and change from year to year can help you assess how risky the Fund has been in the past. It does not tell you how the Fund will perform in the future.

Legal notice

Management fees and other expenses may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please consult your advisor and read the prospectus and the fund facts documents before making an investment. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns 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 securityholder that would have reduced returns. The FlexiFonds funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated.

How much is a FlexiFonds mutual fund advisor worth?

That's where the FlexiFonds team comes in, to help you make decisions that are in your best interest. According to a Quebec study conducted by CIRANO, using financial advice could enable you to accumulate nearly 3 times more savings than if you were to invest on your own for retirement.
