AGF Funds Inc. today announced that it is offering advisors and investors more choice and access to potential tax benefits by adding three corporate class funds to its All World Tax Advantage Group (AWTAG): AGF Canadian Stock Class, AGF Emerging Markets Class and AGF Canadian Large Cap Dividend Class.
The new funds will have the same investment objectives as their existing mutual fund trust counterparts and be managed by the same portfolio managers.
“Advisors told us that they and their clients were looking for more choice within our existing line-up of corporate class funds,” said AGF Funds Inc. President Randy Ambrosie. “The addition of these new funds will increase the diversification options for investors who also want the potential tax benefits a mutual fund corporation can provide.”
AGF’s AWTAG offers more than 20 distinct mutual funds that investors can switch between without incurring immediate tax consequences in non-registered accounts.
Four funds have also been renamed to better reflect their investment mandates:
AGF Aggressive™ Growth Fund is renamed to AGF Aggressive™ U.S. Growth Fund
AGF International Value Fund is renamed to AGF Global Value Fund
AGF International Value Class is renamed to AGF Global Value Class
AGF World Companies Fund is renamed to AGF Global Equity Fund.
