These preliminary, estimated year-end distributions should be treated as forward-looking information that was based on certain assumptions and information currently available to Acuity and its advisers. Actual 2009 year-end distributions will be subject to general market conditions, trading patterns and other factors that may transpire prior to the end of this year. Therefore, actual 2009 year-end distributions may be materially different from the estimated amounts set forth above. There is no absolute guarantee that these funds will pay a distribution at year-end.

Acuity is the manager of the Acuity Mutual Funds and Acuity Pooled Funds listed above. Acuity Investment Management Inc., an affiliate of Acuity, provides investment advisory and portfolio management services to these funds. Acuity, and Acuity Investment Management Inc., manage approximately
