New USD purchase options for certain TD MAP Portfolios

On or about January 29, 2019 TDAM will launch new U.S. dollar purchase options on F-Series and W‑Series of certain TD MAP Portfolios. These new U.S. dollar purchase options aim to provide investors with additional U.S. dollar investment options to help meet their portfolio needs.

Target distribution rates are based on Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit (PU) for the fund(s). The target distribution rates will change with the changes in the series NAVPU or monthly distribution per unit. This is a target distribution only, is not guaranteed, may be adjusted from time to time without notice and is not a prediction of future distributions. The most recent actual monthly distributions per unit are available on the TDAM website at tdassetmanagement.com.

The payment of distributions should not be confused with a fund's performance, rate of return or yield. If a distribution paid by a fund is greater than the performance of the fund, the difference will be deducted from your invested capital. Capital gains taxes deferred will be payable when the units of a fund are sold or to some extent when their adjusted cost base goes to zero. Returns of capital (ROC) distributions do not constitute part of a fund's rate of return or yield. ROC reduces the adjusted cost base of the units to which it relates.

Certain statements in this document may contain forward-looking statements ("FLS") that are predictive in nature and may include words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "believes", "estimates" and similar forward-looking expressions or negative versions thereof. FLS are based on current expectations and projections about future general economic, political and relevant market factors, such as interest and foreign exchange rates, equity and capital markets, the general business environment, assuming no changes to tax or other laws or government regulation or catastrophic events. Expectations and projections about future events are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, which may be unforeseeable. Such expectations and projections may be incorrect in the future. FLS are not guarantees of future performance. Actual events could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any FLS. A number of important factors including those factors set out above can contribute to these digressions. You should avoid placing any reliance on FLS.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the fund facts and prospectus, which contain detailed investment information, before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed or insured, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

TD Mutual Funds and the TD Managed Assets Program portfolios are managed by TD Asset Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and are available through authorized dealers.
