12 Important information Connect with Vanguard > vanguardcanada.ca Investors will usually pay brokerage fees to their dealer if they purchase or sell units of ETFs on Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). If the units are purchased or sold on TSX, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units of the ETF and may receive less than the current NAV when selling them. ETFs are priced continuously and bought and sold throughout the day in the secondary market, which entails paying additional costs such as bid/ask spreads. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning units of an ETF. An ETF must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the fund. You can find more detailed information about the Vanguard ETFs in these documents at ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Vanguard ETFs are managed by Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc. The opinions expressed in this presentation are those of the individual representative and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Vanguard Investments Canada Inc., or Vanguard's Investment Strategy Group. This presentation is not intended to be relied upon as investment or tax advice and it is not a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to buy or sell any ETFs or to adopt any particular investment strategy or portfolio strategy. The Vanguard models reflect a core philosophy that a portfolio of broadly diversified, lowcost index funds provides prudent risk-return balance. Within this framework, the asset allocation model is the primary determinant of expected long-term risk and returns. Vanguard makes no representations or warranties as to the appropriateness or suitability of the models for any particular investor and assumes no liability for investment results. All investments including those described in the models are subject to risk and investors using the models may lose money. The risks associated with the model portfolios will reflect the risks of the underlying ETFs. The amount of risk is directly proportional to the amount invested in each of the underlying ETFs. All investments are subject to risk. Investments in bond funds are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk. Foreign investing involves additional risks, including currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. Currency hedging transactions incur extra expenses, may not perfectly offset foreign currency exposures, and may eliminate any chance to benefit from favorable fluctuations in those currencies. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.

The management fee is equal to the current fee paid by the Vanguard ETF to Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. and does not include applicable taxes or other fees and expenses of the Vanguard ETF. For any Vanguard ETF (VA, VE, VBG, VBU, VDU, VEE, VEF, VFV, VGG, VGH, VSP, VUN, VUS, VXC) that invests in another Vanguard fund, the management fee also includes any fees paid to Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. or its affiliates by such other Vanguard fund as well as certain expenses of the other Vanguard fund that are paid directly by the other Vanguard fund.
