Investor Relations and Related MattersForward -Looking InformationThe service may contain “forward-looking information” (as defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation) that is based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of the content published on the service. Often, but not always, such forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “targeted”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, or variations or the negatives of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved or not be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of BetaPro and/or its funds to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Examples of such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, factors relating to stock, derivatives, energy and commodities prices and the business, financial position, operations and prospects of BetaPro and/or its funds, including the risk factors identified in the prospectus of each of the BetaPro funds. Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information contained in the service. Such forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions described in the prospectus of each BetaPro fund. While we anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change, we have no intention to update this forward-looking information, except as required by applicable securities law. This forward-looking information should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date on each individual page of content or documents included on the service. We have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those current expectations described in forward-looking information. However, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended and that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from current expectations. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect us. A description of the above-mentioned items is contained in each BetaPro fund’s prospectus; which risk factors are specifically incorporated by reference.
