*Tax Status of Capital Class
Each Capital Class fund is a class of shares of Mackenzie Financial Capital
Corporation (“Capitalcorp”), which is a mutual fund corporation.
Unlike mutual fund trusts that calculate their income tax as individual
entities, a mutual fund corporation must compute its income for tax
purposes as a single entity rather than on a fund specific basis. Therefore,
all income, including capital gains, generated by the Capital Class funds
is aggregated for tax purposes. The aggregate capital losses are used
to offset the aggregate capital gains and, to the extent that results
in net capital gains for Capitalcorp, capital gains dividends are paid
to investors as described in the simplified prospectuses and annual information
forms of the Capital Class funds. Increased capital gains increase the
likelihood that capital gains dividends will have to be paid. While switching
among Capital Class funds results in no immediate tax consequences to
an investor, switching activity may trigger capital gains within Capitalcorp,
thus increasing the possibility of a capital gains dividend being declared.
