ATB Investment Management Announces a Risk Rating Change

ATB Investment Management Inc. ("ATBIM") announced a risk rating change for Compass Maximum Growth Portfolio that will take effect today and be reflected in the fund's renewed prospectus and fund facts document. This change is the result of the firm's annual risk rating review and renewal process and not the result of any alterations to the investment objective, strategy or management of the fund.

Investment Risk Classification Methodology

The methodology used to determine the risk rating of each mutual fund is based on the Canadian Securities Administrators' (CSA) Investment Risk Classification Methodology. A summary of this methodology and the investment objectives and strategies of each fund can be found in the simplified prospectus. The methodology is also available by contacting ATB Investment Management Inc.'s client service team at 1-855-386-2282 or ATBFunds@atb.com.

In accordance with the standardized Investment Risk Classification Methodology mandated by the CSA, ATBIM reviews risk ratings at least annually and at any time when it no longer deems a fund's risk rating to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees, and expenses may be associated with investments in mutual funds. Please read the prospectus and fund facts document before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed. Their values change frequently. Past performance may not be repeated.
