Material Conflicts of Interest
.
A conflict of interest may arise as a result of a portfolio manager being
responsible for multiple accounts, including the Fund, which may have different investment guidelines and objectives. In addition to the Fund, these accounts may include other mutual funds managed on an advisory or sub-advisory basis, separate
accounts, and collective trust accounts. An investment opportunity may be suitable for the Fund as well as for any of the other managed accounts. However, the investment may not be available in sufficient quantity for all of the accounts to
participate fully. In addition, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by the Fund and the other accounts. The other accounts may have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, they may track the same benchmarks
or indexes as the Fund tracks, and they may sell securities that are eligible to be held, sold or purchased by the Fund. A portfolio manager may be responsible for accounts that have different advisory fee schedules, which may create the incentive
for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another in terms of access to investment opportunities. A portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment objectives and policies differ from those of the Fund, which may cause the
portfolio manager to effect trading in one account that may have an adverse effect on the value of the holdings within another account, including the Fund.
To address and manage these potential conflicts of interest, BMO AM has adopted compliance policies and procedures to allocate investment opportunities and to ensure that each of its clients is treated on
a fair and equitable basis. Such
policies and procedures include, but are not limited to, trade allocation and trade aggregation policies, cross trading policies, portfolio manager assignment practices, and oversight by
investment management, and/or compliance departments.
Compensation
. Compensation for BMO AMs portfolio managers consists
of base salary, which is monitored to ensure competitiveness in the external marketplace. In addition to base salary, portfolio managers have a portion of their compensation tied to the investment performance of client accounts. The formula for each
professional varies according to their level of portfolio responsibility and seniority. Investment professionals may also receive bonuses of restricted share units or other units linked to the performance of BMO Financial Group.
Ownership of Fund Shares.
As of December 31, 2012, neither portfolio managers owned any shares of the Fund.
