SMALL
CAP GROWTH ETF ACCOUNT
Following is a
summary of information about the Small Cap Growth ETF Account.
Investors are advised to learn key data about an investment
prior to making any investment decision.
Objective
The objective of this account is to seek investment results
that correspond to the performance, before fees and expenses,
of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, or a similar U.S. small
cap stock index. It invests solely in the Sentry Small Cap
Growth ETF Portfolio.
Investor Profile
The Small Cap Growth ETF Account may be suitable for investors
with a very long-term investment horizon who are seeking
long-term growth of capital by participating in the small
capitalization sector of the U.S. stock market. Individuals
must be willing and able to accept substantial changes in
unit price both in the short, long and very long term.
Investment Strategy

in one or more exchange traded funds (ETFs) that seek investment
results that correspond to the performance, before fees
and expenses, of U.S. small cap stocks, as represented by
the S&P SmallCap 600 Index or a similar index. The portfolio
managers employ a passive investment strategy. Cash may
be held in the portfolio to efficiently accommodate purchases
and redemptions.
Investment Considerations

to investing in small cap U.S. companies and is appropriate
for investors seeking a passive investment management approach
to U.S. small cap stocks for a portion of their retirement
portfolio.
