Distributions from PAIF are contingent on dividends paid on underlying investments of PAIF and are not guaranteed.

        All forms of investment carry risk, including the risk of losing all of the invested amount. Such activities may not be suitable for everyone.

        The information provided does not constitute investment advice and it should not be relied on as such. It should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell a security. It does not take into account any investor's particular investment objectives, strategies, tax status or investment horizon. You should consult your tax and financial advisor.

        Securities lending programs and the subsequent reinvestment of the posted collateral are subject to a number of risks, including the risk that the value of the investments held in the collateral may decline in value and may at any point be worth less than the original cost of that investment.

        Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.

        Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

        ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. Frequent trading of ETF's could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs.

        The investment objective of PAIF is to provide investment results that closely correspond to the performance of its benchmark index. The primary driver of investment decisions is the objective of generating returns to meet the investment objective. Climate change analysis does not form part of the security selection process and climate-related risk is not a factor applicable to PAIF being able to meet its investment objective.
