Independent views and forward-looking statements

Views expressed regarding a particular company, security, industry or market sector are the views of only that author/speaker as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of IA Clarington.  Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon markets and other conditions and IA Clarington disclaims any responsibility to update such views.  These views are not a recommendation to buy or sell and may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for IA Clarington funds are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any IA Clarington fund.

The information contained in this website may include estimates, projections and other "forward-looking statements", which are generally expressed in the future tense, or using words such as "expect", "anticipate", "believe" or "may", whether or not they are expressly identified as forward looking statements. Any such statements pertaining to our investment products were based on assumptions that we believed to be reasonable at the time, but which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, any forward looking statements may prove to be incorrect and actual performance may differ materially from that predicted in any forward looking statements.

iA Clarington assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
