Connor, Clark & Lunn Private Capital Ltd. simplifies fund lineup

TORONTO, April 7, 2017 /CNW/ - Connor, Clark & Lunn Private Capital Ltd. (CC&L Private Capital) today announced plans to terminate the CC&L Balanced Growth Portfolio on or around June 16, 2017. Effective immediately, the portfolio is closed to new purchases.

CC&L Private Capital is focused on ensuring that our investment solutions meet the needs of financial advisors and their clients. Unfortunately, the CC&L Balanced Growth Portfolio has not been able to achieve economies of scale for the ordinary operating expenses that are indirectly borne by each unitholder. CC&L Private Capital is taking steps to ensure that all unitholders are treated fairly as a result of this announcement.

Unitholders may redeem units of the portfolio at any time prior to termination or switch them into another investment solution. On termination, CC&L Private Capital will redeem all of the outstanding units of the portfolio and remit an amount in cash equal to the remaining net assets to the remaining unitholders. No redemption fees or charges will be applied to unitholders by CC&L Private Capital upon redemption of units at or before the termination of the portfolio. Information pertaining to the termination of the portfolio has been sent to all unitholders and we encourage investors to consult with their financial advisor to discuss their options.
