The ETF seeks to provide shareholders with (i) long-term capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio of high quality North American dividend-paying equity securities; and (ii) monthly cash distributions. The ETF invests in an equally weighted portfolio of approximately 40 high quality North American dividend-paying equity securities based on a fundamental rules-based portfolio selection strategy that intends to create value and reduce risk over the investment period. The ETF s investment strategy systematically selects companies that have attractive dividend yield and the ability to grow their businesses and dividends for shareholders in the future. The portfolio is structured to reduce risk by using both quality and financial risk screens in order to exclude from the investment universe companies that have low financial strength and limited capacity for business and dividend growth. In addition, when appropriate, the portfolio may also use derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes, including but not limited to options, futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps as permitted by Canadian securities laws, to hedge market exposure to protect capital, to generate income, hedge against losses from changes in the prices of the ETF s investments and from exposure to foreign currencies and/or as a substitute for direct investment. The ETF s portfolio holdings are rebalanced quarterly. Generally, a substantial portion of the foreign currency exposure within the portfolio will be hedged back to the Canadian dollar by using derivatives including currency forward contracts in the investment advisor s discretion. The charts below provide you with a snapshot of the ETF s investments on April 30, The ETF s investments will change.

2 HOW RISKY IS IT? The value of the ETF can go down as well as up. You could lose One way to gauge risk is to look at how much an ETF s returns change over time. This is called volatility. In general, ETFs with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns. ETFs with lower volatility tend to have returns that change less over time. They typically have lower returns and may have a lower chance of losing RISK RATING Purpose Investments Inc. has rated the volatility of this ETF as medium. This rating is based on how much the ETF s returns have changed from year to year. It doesn t tell you how volatile the ETF will be in the future. The rating can change over time. An ETF with a low risk rating can still lose For more information about the risk rating and specific risks that can affect the ETF s returns, see the sections entitled What are the risks of investing in the fund? and Who should invest in this fund? in the ETF s simplified prospectus. NO GUARANTEES ETFs do not have any guarantees. You may not get back the amount of money you invest. HOW HAS THE ETF PERFORMED? This section tells you how the ETF shares of the ETF have performed over the past 4 years. Returns are calculated using the ETF s net asset value (NAV) after expenses have been deducted. These expenses reduce the ETF s return. YEAR-BY-YEAR RETURNS This chart shows how ETF shares of the ETF performed in each of the past 4 years. The ETF dropped in value in 1 of the 4 years. The range of returns and change from year to year can help you assess how risky the ETF has been in the past.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when trading ETFs: PRICING ETFs have two sets of prices: market price and net asset value (NAV). MARKET PRICE ETFs are bought and sold on exchanges at the market price. The market price can change throughout the trading day. Factors like supply, demand and changes in the value of an ETF s investments can affect the market price. You can get price quotes any time during the trading day. Quotes have two parts: bid and ask. The bid is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay if you want to sell your ETF shares. The ask is the lowest price a seller is willing to accept if you want to buy ETF shares. The difference between the two is called the bid-ask spread. In general, a smaller bid-ask spread means the ETF is more liquid. That means you are more likely to get the price you expect. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV) Like mutual funds, ETFs have a NAV. It is calculated after the close of each trading day and reflects the value of an ETF s investments at that point in time. NAV is used to calculate financial information for reporting purposes like the returns shown in this document. ORDERS There are two main options for placing trades: market orders and limit orders. A market order lets you buy or sell shares at the current market price. A limit order lets you set the price at which you are willing to buy or sell shares. Page 2

3 TIMING In general, market prices of ETFs can be more volatile around the start and end of the trading day. Consider using a limit order or placing a trade at another time during the trading day. WHO IS THIS ETF FOR? Investors who: want capital growth over the long term want distributions payable to you monthly are investing for the medium and/or long term; and can tolerate medium risk. Don t buy this ETF if you need a steady source of income from your investment. A WORD ABOUT TAX In general, you ll have to pay income tax on any money you make on an ETF. How much you pay depends on the tax laws where you live and whether or not you hold the ETF in a registered plan such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, or a Tax-Free Savings Account. Keep in mind that if you hold your ETF in a non-registered account, distributions from the ETF are included in your taxable income, whether you get them in cash or have them reinvested. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? This section shows the fees and expenses you could pay to buy, own and sell ETF shares of the ETF. Fees and expenses including trailing commissions can vary among ETFs. Higher commissions can influence representatives to recommend one investment over another. Ask about other ETFs and investments that may be suitable for you at a lower cost. 1. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS You may have to pay a commission every time you buy and sell ETF shares of the ETF. Commissions may vary by brokerage firm. Some brokerage firms may offer commission-free ETFs or require a minimum purchase amount. 2. ETF EXPENSES You do not pay these expenses directly. They affect you because they reduce the ETF s returns for the ETF shares. As of December 31, 2017, the ETF s expenses were 0.74% of its value. This equals $7.40 for every $1,000 invested. PURPOSE CORE DIVIDEND FUND ETF SHARE Management expense ratio (MER) This is the total of the ETF s management fee and operating expenses. The manager waived some of the ETF s expenses.

The ETF seeks to provide shareholders with (i) consistent long-term capital appreciation with an attractive risk-adjusted rate of return investing in a portfolio of North American equities; and (ii) less volatility and low correlation to North American equity markets by hedging the ETF s exposure to overall market risk. The ETF uses a multi-factor, fundamental rules-based portfolio selection strategy to select long portfolio securities from a universe of North American equities. The selection strategy emphasizes factors that have shown to be effective at differentiating between strong and weak performing stocks including: fundamental change, valuation, growth and quality. The investment advisor tactically hedges up to 75% of the ETF s market exposure in order to reduce overall market exposure and the market risk associated with the ETF s portfolio investments. This hedging is intended to enable the ETF to take advantage of the expected value (or alpha) associated with the ETF s individual portfolio investments but with reduced risk that is associated with the overall market (or beta). Tactical hedging is implemented through the use of derivative instruments as permitted by Canadian securities laws including but not limited to market index futures contracts, options and swaps. In addition, when appropriate, the portfolio may also use derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes, including but not limited to options, futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps as permitted by Canadian securities laws, to hedge market exposure to protect capital, to generate income, hedge against losses from changes in the prices of the ETF s investments and from exposure to foreign currencies and/or as a substitute for direct investment.

The ETF seeks to (i) maximize total return, consisting of dividend income and capital appreciation by tactically investing in a broad range of asset classes which may include equity, fixed income and inflation sensitive securities and cash; and (ii) provide shareholders with stable monthly cash distributions. The ETF is tactically managed across a broad range of asset classes including equities, fixed income, inflation sensitive securities and cash based on a risk-parity weighting methodology, with the goal of achieving a positive total return in diverse market environments while reducing portfolio risk. Risk-parity methodology or risk-parity based asset allocation strategy is broadly defined as a strategy that aims to spread portfolio risk, as measured by volatility of the rate of return on the portfolio, equally across all asset classes. In other words, each asset class in the portfolio is weighted such that all asset classes have the same marginal contribution to the total risk of the portfolio. The ETF may choose to (a) write cash covered put options in respect of the individual securities and market indices in order to receive premium income, reduce overall portfolio volatility and reduce the net cost of acquiring the securities subject to put options, (b) write covered call options on individual securities to seek to receive premium income, reduce overall portfolio volatility and enhance the portfolio s total return, (c) use warrants, ETFs and derivatives such as options, forward contracts, futures contracts and swaps for both hedging and non-hedging purposes to generate income, hedge against losses from changes in the prices of the ETF s investments and from exposure to foreign currencies and/or gain exposure to individual securities and markets instead of buying the securities directly and/or (d) hold cash or fixed income securities for strategic reasons or to provide cover for the writing of cash covered put options in respect of securities in which the ETF is permitted to invest. Options may be either exchange-traded or over-the-counter options. The portfolio holdings are rebalanced monthly. Generally, a substantial portion of the foreign currency exposure within the portfolio will be hedged back to the Canadian dollar by using derivatives including currency forward contracts in the investment advisor s discretion.

12 TRADING ETFS ETFs hold a basket of investments, like mutual funds, but trade on exchanges like stocks. Here are a few things to keep in mind when trading ETFs: PRICING ETFs have two sets of prices: market price and net asset value (NAV). MARKET PRICE ETFs are bought and sold on exchanges at the market price. The market price can change throughout the trading day. Factors like supply, demand and changes in the value of an ETF s investments can affect the market price. You can get price quotes any time during the trading day. Quotes have two parts: bid and ask. The bid is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay if you want to sell your ETF units. The ask is the lowest price a seller is willing to accept if you want to buy ETF units. The difference between the two is called the bid-ask spread. In general, a smaller bid-ask spread means the ETF is more liquid. That means you are more likely to get the price you expect. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV) Like mutual funds, ETFs have a NAV. It is calculated after the close of each trading day and reflects the value of an ETF s investments at that point in time. NAV is used to calculate financial information for reporting purposes like the returns shown in this document. ORDERS There are two main options for placing trades: market orders and limit orders. A market order lets you buy or sell units at the current market price. A limit order lets you set the price at which you are willing to buy or sell units. TIMING In general, market prices of ETFs can be more volatile around the start and end of the trading day. Consider using a limit order or placing a trade at another time during the trading day. WHO IS THIS ETF FOR? Investors who: want capital growth over the long term want distributions payable to you monthly are investing for the medium and/or long term can tolerate low to medium risk Don t buy this ETF if you need a steady source of income from your investment. A WORD ABOUT TAX In general, you ll have to pay income tax on any money you make on an ETF. How much you pay depends on the tax laws where you live and whether or not you hold the ETF in a registered plan such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, or a Tax-Free Savings Account. PURPOSE INVESTMENTS INC PURPOSE MONTHLY INCOME FUND ETF Unit Keep in mind that if you hold your ETF in a non-registered account, distributions from the ETF are included in your taxable income, whether you get them in cash or have them reinvested. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? This section shows the fees and expenses you could pay to buy, own and sell ETF shares of the ETF. Fees and expenses including trailing commissions can vary among ETFs.

Some brokerage firms may offer commission-free ETFs or require a minimum purchase amount. 2. ETF EXPENSES You do not pay these expenses directly.

Management expense ratio (MER) This is the total of the ETF s management fee and operating expenses. The manager waived some of the ETF s expenses. If it had not done so, the MER would have been higher. Trading expense ratio (TER) These are the ETF s trading costs.
