Units

 

 

The price per Unit shall be initially $25.00 Canadian.

The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of series of Units and an unlimited number of Units in each series. Currently there is only one series of Units and each Unit represents an equal interest in the Fund. Initially, Units of the Fund will be of the same series with equal rights and privileges. Fractions of Units may be issued. A fractional Unit carries the rights and privileges and is subject to the restrictions and conditions applicable to whole Units in the proportion it bears to one whole Unit. The trustee may create new series of Units from time to time upon notice to the Unitholders.

Wisecap may place instructions throughout the month to buy or sell Units of the Fund for an investor. These orders will be held in the TD-Waterhouse order system until they are transacted on the last business day of the month.

Risks To Capital

An investment in the Fund carries with it certain risks including: fluctuation in the value per Unit with changes in the market value of the portfolio of the Fund; poor performance compared to other investments in the event of a drop in value of the equity markets; depression of the price of a particular equity or reduction in its trading liquidity due to an adverse event; or an incorrect valuation of a particular investment by Wisecap.

Withdrawals & Portfolio Rebalancing

An investor must provide written notice to Wisecap by the last business day of the month prior to the month of withdrawal of assets from the Fund.

On rebalancing of a client account upon the withdrawal of assets by an investor, Wisecap shall cause sufficient assets in the account or the Fund to be realized upon, after settling all commitments.

Redeemed Units will be placed in cash at the custodian which can be withdrawn from the custodian bank account. The Fund will charge and retain a 0.5% of total contributions' deferred charge on any withdrawals within one year of the relevant contribution. There are no deferred charges on any contributions left for one year in this Fund or with any other Wisecap managed Fund or account.

Withdrawals from Pooled Funds: Notwithstanding the above, WiseCap pooled funds, by reason of the fact that they only trade at month-end may only be redeemed on written notice to WiseCap given at least 30 days prior to any month end and effective only on the last day of a month. WiseCap may in its absolute discretion delay redemption for an additional six months if in their absolute discretion deem such necessary to protect all unit holders. Redemptions from non-RSP accounts may not be allowed during the month of November due to tax considerations.

A Declaration of Trust dated June 30, 2003; and a separate management agreement dated June 30, 2003 between the Fund and Wisecap. Copies of the above are available on request.

STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada grants purchasers, or requires that purchasers be granted, rights of rescission or damages where an offering memorandum or any amendment to it contains a misrepresentation. For these purposes, a "misrepresentation" is an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is necessary in order to make any statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. A "material fact" is a fact that significantly affects, or would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on, the market price or value of the securities. These rights must be exercised by the purchaser within time limits prescribed by the applicable securities legislation.

The following is a summary of the rights of rescission or damages available to purchasers under the securities legislation of certain of the provinces of Canada. These rights are in addition to and without derogation from any other rights or remedies that a purchaser might have at law, and may be subject to defences that the Funds or their representatives might have at law.

Rights for Purchasers in Ontario

If this Offering Memorandum, together with any amendment thereto, contains a misrepresentation, an investor in Ontario who purchases a security offered by this Offering Memorandum during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation, if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, and such investor shall have a right of action for damages against the Fund or, at the election of the investor, a right of rescission against the Fund (in which case the investor does not have a right of action for damages against the Fund), provided that:

(a)                no action may be commenced to enforce a right of action

(i)                  for rescission more than 180 days after the date of the purchase; and

(ii)                for damages later than the earlier of (A) 180 days after the investor first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, and (B) three years after the date of purchase;

(b)               the Fund will not be liable if it proves that the investor purchased the security with knowledge of the misrepresentation;

(c)                in an action for damages, the Fund will not be liable for all or any portion of such damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the security as a result of the misrepresentation; and

(d)               in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the security was offered.

Rights for Purchasers in British Columbia, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island

If this Offering Memorandum, together with any amendment thereto, delivered to a purchaser of securities resident in British Columbia, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island, contains a misrepresentation and it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, the purchaser will be deemed to have relied upon the misrepresentation and will have a right of action, exercisable on notice given to the Fund not more than 90 days after the date of purchase, for damages or, alternatively, while still the owner of the securities, for rescission, provided that:

(a)               the Fund will not be liable if it proves that the investor purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation;

(b)              in an action for damages, the Fund will not be liable for all or any portion of such damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation; and

(c)               in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the securities were sold to the purchaser.

Rights for Purchasers in Alberta

In Alberta, if this Offering Memorandum, or any amendment thereto, delivered to a purchaser of securities contains a misrepresentation, and it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, the purchaser will be deemed to have relied upon the misrepresentation and will have a right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Fund. The Fund will not be liable if it proves that the investor purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation. In an action for damages, the Fund will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in the value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation. The amount recoverable under this right of action will not exceed the price at which the securities were offered. A purchaser may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Fund, in which case the purchaser shall have no right of action for damages.

No action shall be commenced to enforce the foregoing rights:

(a)              in the case of an action for rescission, more than 180 days after the date on which the securities were purchased;

(b)              in the case of an action for damages, more than the earlier of (i) 180 days from the day that the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, or (ii) one year from the date on which the securities were purchased.

(ii)                after delivery of the Offering Memorandum or amended Offering Memorandum and before the purchase of the securities, on becoming aware of any false statement, the director withdrew his consent to the delivery of the Offering Memorandum or amended Offering Memorandum to prospective purchasers and gave reasonable public notice of such withdrawal and the reason therefore; or

(iii)               with respect to any false statement, the director had reasonable grounds to believe and did believe that the statement was true; or
