About Excel Latin America Bond Fund

The Fund's investment objectives are to (i) provide quarterly tax-advantaged distributions consisting primarily of returns of capital; and (ii) preserve and provide the opportunity to increase the net asset value of the Fund, in each case, through exposure to an actively managed, diversified portfolio consisting primarily of U.S. dollar denominated high yield fixed income securities issued by companies located in Latin America, with an initial focus on Brazil. The portfolio manager intends to hedge substantially all of the value of the portfolio to Canadian dollars.

Class A units of the Fund are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ELA.UN.

It is expected that distributions to unitholders will consist primarily of returns of capital but may also include capital gains for income tax purposes.  Distributions are paid as a fixed amount each quarter, representing an amount which approximates the amount of income the Fund is expected to receive on average each quarter net of any expenses.  This Fund does not have a fixed quarterly distribution amount but intends to, at least annually, set distribution targets based on the Manager's and portfolio manager's estimate of distributable cash flow of ELA Trust for the period.  All distributions are paid out to unitholders as cash distributions.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with investment funds. Excel Funds Management Inc. does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of the Fund, the repayment of capital from the Fund or any tax treatment of any distribution from the Fund. You should refer to the prospectus dated May 30, 2012 (the "Prospectus") of the Fund and other documents filed by the Fund with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, available at www.sedar.com, for further information regarding the Fund.
