DUAL LICENSE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

I/We acknowledge that WFGS mutual fund representatives may be licensed as insurance agents. All mutual funds are processed through WFGS and all life or disability products are processed through World Financial Group Insurance Agency of Canada Inc. a separate entity. The representative’s recommendations may result in the purchase of financial products through either entity mentioned above, and, should I/we purchase any of these products, it will result in a commission or finder’s fee which may vary from product to product. WFGS, nor World Financial Group Insurance Agency of Canada Inc. have their own products. These two entities represent many financial product suppliers based on market competitiveness and service. All information I/we provide is kept confidential and will be used to determine the suitability of products and services offered by both entities. No information will be provided.

DUAL OCCUPATION DISCLOSURE

WFGS Mutual Fund Representatives may also be engaged in other occupations not related to the sale of mutual funds. Please note that any activities not related to the sale of mutual funds are not the business of the Member or the responsibility of the Member. Also see, Dual License Disclosure Statement.

RISK TOLERANCE

Low: Low risk investments demonstrate a low volatility and are for investors who are willing to accept lower returns for greater safety of capital and may include such investments as Canada Savings Bonds, GICs and money market mutual funds.

Low to Medium: Low to Medium risk investments demonstrate a low to medium volatility but a higher volatility than those described above and may include bond or balanced funds.

Medium: Medium risk investments demonstrate a medium volatility and are for investors that are looking for moderate growth over a longer period of time and may include Canadian dividend, Canadian equity, U.S. equity and certain international equity funds.

Medium to High: Medium to High risk investments demonstrate a medium to high volatility and are for investors that are looking for long term growth and may include funds that invest in smaller companies, specific market sectors or geographic areas.

High: High risk investments demonstrate a high volatility and are for investors who are growth oriented and are willing to accept significant short term fluctuations in portfolio value in exchange for potentially higher long term returns and may include labor sponsored venture capital funds or funds that invest in specific market sectors or geographic areas such as emerging markets, science and technology, or funds that engage in speculative trading strategies including hedge funds that invest in derivatives, short sell or use leverage.

OBJECTIVES

Safety - The objective is mainly the protection of principal. The investment selection could include very low risk mutual funds and GICs.

Income -The objective is mainly to generate an income from your investments and you are less concerned with capital appreciation. This

could include fixed income funds, funds that invest in bonds and money market funds.

Growth - The objective is capital appreciation and current income from investments is not a requirement. This may lead you to hold a relatively high proportion of funds that invest in equities if you also have a medium to higher risk tolerance and longer term time horizon.

Speculative - The objective is capital appreciation. Investment could include higher risk funds with a long term time horizon. Speculative objectives are not realistic short term time horizon.

TIME HORIZON

Period from now to when you need to access a significant portion of the money you invested in the account. The investment time horizon is closely connected to the objectives of the plan, requirements for the investable assets and the risk tolerance of the investor. Generally, a longer time horizon would be 5 or more years, a medium time horizon would be 3-5 years and a short time horizon may be less than 3 years. Investors should ensure that their investments adequately reflect the amount of time they have available and the amount of risk that they are willing to assume. Investment performance may greatly fluctuate over the time horizon.

Version WFGS KYC 05/17

INVESTING WITH BORROWED MONEY

Using borrowed money to finance the purchase of securities involves greater risk than a purchase using cash resources only. If you borrow money to purchase securities, your responsibility to repay the loan and pay interest as required by its terms remains the same even if the value of the securities purchased declines.

RISK OF BORROWING TO INVEST

Here are some risks and factors that you should consider before borrowing to invest:

Is it Right for You?

• Borrowing money to invest is risky. You should only consider borrowing to invest if:o You are comfortable with taking risk.o You are comfortable taking on debt to buy investments that may go up or down in value.o You are investing for the long-term.o You have a stable income.

• You should not borrow to invest if:o You have a low tolerance for risko You are investing for a short period of time.o You intend to rely on income from the investments to pay living expenses.o You intend to rely on income from the investments to repay the loan. If this income stops or decreases you

may not be able to pay back the loan.

YOU CAN END UP LOSING MONEY

• If the investments go down in value and you have borrowed money, your losses would be larger than had youinvested using your own money.

• Whether your investments make money or not you will still have to pay back the loan plus interest. You mayhave to sell other assets or use money you had set aside for other purposes to pay back the loan.

• If you used your home as security for the loan, you may lose your home.• If the investments go up in value, you may still not make enough money to cover the costs of borrowing.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

• You should not borrow to invest just to receive a tax deduction.• Interest costs are not always tax deductible. You may not be entitled to a tax deduction and may be reassessed

for past deductions. You may want to consult a tax professional to determine whether your interest costs will bedeductible before borrowing to invest.

Your representative should discuss with you the risks of borrowing to invest.
