The 'up to 50%' claim excludes the Questwealth Conservative Portfolio. Portfolio. The up to 50% claim illustrates how investing with 4 out of the 5 Questwealth Portfolios ('QWP') could improve your retirement savings using a hypothetical example. The example assumes $50,000 compounds annually over 30 years at a growth rate equal to the average 5-year historical return of comparable mutual fund categories. Potential savings are based on a comparison of the highest MER charged by QWP versus the average MER of the Series 'A' mutual funds in the respective fund categories. Fees may change over time and actual results may vary. No representations and warranties are made as to the reasonableness of these assumptions.
