Separately, in the U.S. BMO and Ameriprise have agreed to work together to facilitate the transition of investment advisory services for certain mutually agreed upon BMO Funds, contingent upon the approval of the Funds’ Board of Directors and shareholders.

Risk Disclaimer:
Funds that have a higher concentration of investments in a specific industry or sector may be subject to a higher degree of market risk than funds whose investments are more diversified.
Investing internationally, especially emerging markets, involves additional risks such as currency, political, accounting, economic, and market risk.
Keep in mind that as interest rates rise, bond prices fall. This may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s portfolio.
High yield bond funds may have higher yields and are subject to greater credit, market and interest rate risk than higher-rated fixed-income securities.
Interest income from Tax-Free Fund investments may still be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for individuals and corporations, and state or local taxes.
Investing in alternative investments presents the opportunity for significant losses, including the possible loss of your total investment. Such strategies have the potential for heightened volatility and in general, are not suitable for all investors.
