Approved Fund Managers as of March 31, 2024

"In the administration of these custody agreements, CIRO carries out due diligence to ensure that the custodial agreement is in the prescribed form and is executed by those in authority. Copies of the agreements on file are available upon request. It remains the responsibility of Dealer Members to monitor the custodian for ongoing compliance as an acceptable securities location and to carry out product due diligence and suitability assessment of investments sold to clients."

Note:                        
One of the ways for book entry investment products (including investment funds, guaranteed investment certificates and other evidence of deposits) issued by a company or its agent to be considered and acceptable securities locations, is for the company or its Agent to sign a custody agreement with the IIROC outlining the terms upon which such securities are deposited and including provisions that no use or disposition of the securities shall be made without the prior written consent of the Member and the securities can be delivered to the Member promply on demand. IIROC has executed these agreements on behalf of SRO members in order to reduce the need for the company or its Agent to enter into individual agreements with each Member it deals with.

Another way for the company or its Agent to be considered an acceptable securities location is for the Member to have a custody agreement, which conforms to SRO by-laws directly with the company or Agent

Unless otherwise indicated, a mutual fund company / fund manager on this listing has signed an agreement only for its family of funds. Where the mutual fund company / fund manager administers a third party mutual fund it must sign a seperate agreement. Where this is the case, the listing will indicate the third party mutual fund(s) covered by the agreement.

* The agreement remains valid for regulatory purposes during the period in which the custodian is in receivership
