Investment Funds


Financial


As part of their disclosure requirements, investment funds file annual and interim financial statements. These must include a:

  • statement of net assets
  • statement of operations
  • statement of changes in net assets
  • statement of cash flows (if applicable)
  • statement of investment portfolio
  • auditor’s report (for annual financial statements)
Investment funds must also file annual and interim management reports of fund performance. These reports contain:

  • a management discussion of fund performance (comparable to the MD&A provided by corporate issuers), which should complement the financial statements
  • financial highlights
  • performance information
  • summary portfolio disclosure
Management reports of fund performance must follow the format set out in Form 81-106F1 Contents of Annual and Interim Management Report of Fund Performance.

Annual financial statements and management reports of fund performance must be provided within 90 days of an investment fund’s financial year end, while interim financial statements and management reports of fund performance must be provided within 60 days of the end of the investment fund’s interim reporting period. Financial statements and management reports of fund performance must be filed on SEDAR and delivered to security holders.

In addition to the semi-annual financial reporting, investment funds must also provide summary portfolio disclosure for their first and third quarters.

An investment fund must also ensure that its auditor meets the requirements in National Instrument 52-108 Auditor Oversight, and if it changes its auditor it must provide certain disclosure regarding the circumstances of the change.
