How do I add a fund to an investment fund prospectus?

To add a new fund to an existing prospectus, you must use the ‘Maintain’ filing action and should not create a new filing.
 
New subtypes and document types are now available in SEDAR+ and should be used when adding a new fund as noted below.
 
Add a new fund to a preliminary prospectus
When you add a new fund to a preliminary prospectus, you are filing a preliminary prospectus for the new fund and an amended and restated preliminary prospectus for the existing fund in one document. The prospectus document should clearly indicate which fund is filing a preliminary prospectus and which fund is filing an amended and restated preliminary prospectus. Select the new fund and existing fund originally included in the filing from the list of investment funds displayed in both the ‘Investment funds in this filing’ and ‘Investment funds included in this submission’ sections.
 
The cover page of the new document must disclose the following:
 
PRELIMINARY [type of prospectus] DATED [insert date] FOR [add Additional Fund(s)] AMENDED AND RESTATED PRELIMINARY [Type of Prospectus] PROSPECTUS DATED [insert date] AMENDING AND RESTATING THE PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED [insert date] FOR [Insert Original Fund(s)]
