You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the investment fund on the TSX. If the shares are purchased or sold on the TSX, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying shares of the investment fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of an investment fund. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Distributions are paid to you in cash unless you request, pursuant to your participation in a distribution reinvestment plan, that they be reinvested into Class A units of the Fund. If the Fund earns less than the amounts distributed, the difference is a return of capital. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the investment fund. You can find more detailed information about the investment fund in these documents.

Hamilton non-profit marks 5 years of support for Black-owned businesses, hopes to make bigger impact
Social Sharing A non-profit organization that supports Black-owned businesses in the Hamilton area celebrates its fifth anniversary this week, and one of its leaders said the group wants to make an even bigger impact in Ontario and Canada. Ashleigh Montague, co-founder of Blk Owned, said while they started in Hamilton, where most of the businesses they support are located, they've also partnered with organizations in the Niagara Region. Montague said they are now ready to take Blk Owned even further. "When I think years from now I am seeing more of a national impact," Montague told CBC Hamilton. "Within the next three years, I see expanding geographically within Ontario, strengthening the reach that we have been able to foster over the last five years." Montague and her sisters — Alexandria Montague and Abygail Montague — co-founded Blk Owned on June 2, 2020 at a time when people around the world had taken to social media to post black squares after the resurgence of Black Lives Matter, and, specifically, the murder of George Floyd by white police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis. Since then, the organization created an Instagram page to showcase Black-owned businesses, launched, and has hosted markets, events, and workshops along with a Black-owned business directory that highlights and showcases businesses to the community. In 2022, Blk Owned launched a trailblazer program to help young Black entrepreneurs gain fundamental skills to help improve their business. They've had three cohorts of participants since. In all, they've supported hundreds of Black entrepreneurs, Montague said. 'Entrepreneurship is really lonely' Blk Owned has received funding from Toronto Pearson airport's Uplift Fund, as well as the Hamilton Community Foundation, Montague said, which has allowed them to launch the community platform and a hybrid version of the trailblazer program. Montague said the trailblazer program runs over a two-month period with online and in-person components. At the end of each cohort, participants receive an award and networking opportunities with more established businesses, with the other participants and with facilitators, Montague said. The in-person segment has been held at Sheridan College the past two cohorts, she added. "Because of our expansion of our program... we've had people connecting with businesses from the Brampton region, the Scarborough region, all the way through to London," she said. "With our work with the Southwestern Ontario Black Business Network, we've been able to stretch our reach all the way to Windsor." Gugu Mpofu is the owner of Oaesis Within, an organic body care and wellness company. She told CBC Hamilton that she was one of the first participants in the trailblazer program, adding that "they've really helped propel my business." "They had mentors who were part of the Hamilton Business Centre and I ended up joining their startup company plus program where I got a grant of $5,000," Mpofu said. "I've always had the support of Blk Owned, whether it's just through their programming, through their vendor markets, through their networking events, and also through them recommending me into spaces where I was able to have wholesales," she added. Mpofu, who also serves as community relationships co-ordinator at Blk Owned, said the organization is more than a support system. "Entrepreneurship is really lonely, very scary, and starting my business, I was worried about being the only Black or racialized person in the room, and just having Blk Owned it's like somebody to lean on," she said. "I can always go back to them if I'm feeling like I need a resource or if I feel like I need to join a market or if I need to network with other people … and that's something that's very precious." Anniversary celebration on June 5 Matheus Brasileiro, the founder and owner of vegan Brazilian bakery Sau Bake in the Hamilton Farmers' Market, has been in business for more than two years — first in Toronto, and then Hamilton. They said they learned about Blk Owned through a friend and participated in the trailblazer program last year, adding that it was "very helpful." Brasileiro said the support Blk Owned provides to small businesses is like "having someone that gets your back and understands the struggle that you go through as a Black business and small business." "You can't run a small business without a community, without having support, and one of the big reasons that I [got] to where I am right now with my little shop … was knowing that I had Blk Owned [to support me]," Brasileiro added. To mark the fifth anniversary of Blk Owned, Montague said the organization will be hosting a community celebration on June 5 at CoMotion On King, the co-working space out of which staff work. Montague said part of the free event will be "taking a look back at the last five years, but also taking a moment to reflect on where we're going to be going, moving forward from here." Later in the summer, on July 13, they will also be hosting a fundraiser and awards gala, called the Garden Party at the Royal Botanical Gardens, where Blk Owned will be honouring seven business owners in the Hamilton community, Montague said.

What you need to know about Ottawa's proposed GST cut for first-time homebuyers
The new Liberal government tabled a notice of ways and means motion last week to cut the GST for first-time homebuyers, moving forward with a key campaign promise from the recent election. Ottawa's proposed cut to the GST on new homes valued up to $1-million will provide first-time homebuyers a rebate of up to $50,000. However, the rebate would be reduced gradually for homes valued above $1-million and eliminated entirely for homes valued at $1.5-million or more. Called the first-time home buyers' GST rebate, the program would allow an eligible individual to recover up to $50,000 of the GST (or the federal portion of the HST) they paid when buying a home from a builder. The rebate also applies when buying shares of a co-operative housing corporation (where the co-op paid federal sales tax) or building a new home. For homes valued between $1-million and $1.5-million, the rebate would be reduced in a linear manner and calculated as a percentage of the maximum rebate ($50,000). In answer to questions from The Globe, Department of Finance spokesperson Benoit Mayrand provided examples of how this would work. To qualify for the rebate, at least one of the purchasers of the new home must be a first-time homebuyer acquiring it for use as their primary residence. (To be considered a first-time homebuyer, an individual generally needs to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, at least 18 years of age, and have not lived in a home, located anywhere in the world, that they or their spouse or common-law partner owned in the current year or previous four years.) The GST rebate would be available for homes where there's an agreement of purchase and sale with a builder made between May 27, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2030, and where construction begins by Dec. 31, 2030 and is completed substantially by Dec. 31, 2035. For someone building their own home, or having it built for them, construction must begin between May 27, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2030 to be eligible, and the home must be completed substantially by Dec. 31, 2035. The rebate can only be claimed once, and can't be claimed if a person's spouse or common-law partner has already used it. The first-time homebuyers' GST rebate would operate alongside the existing GST new housing rebate, which is available to eligible buyers whether or not they've previously owned a home. Under the existing GST new housing rebate, a homebuyer can recover 36 per cent of the GST paid on a new home priced up to $350,000, resulting in a maximum rebate under the program of $6,300. The GST new housing rebate is phased out in a linear manner for new homes up to $450,000, with no rebate for homes above that amount. (There may also be rebates available on the provincial sales tax.) Mr. Mayrand provided two examples of how the two rebates would work together for a first-time homebuyer.

Should You Buy Citigroup While It's Below $76?
Citigroup (NYSE: C) is one of the best-known banks in the United States and probably the world. But it doesn't have the best history when it comes to dealing with adversity, given its less-than-impressive performance during the Great Recession. Even though it is a much different company today than it was back then, investors can probably do better. Here's why and how. What does Citigroup do? Citigroup is a bank, providing basic financial services to consumers and businesses. This is the core of its business. However, it also operates in the investment banking, wealth management, and markets spaces. The business is not significantly different from any of its largest peers, though it is important to note that Citigroup is more than just a simple bank. That said, it is just as important to take a little historical journey with Citigroup. That's because it allowed itself to get caught up in the housing market meltdown that happened during the Great Recession. It was forced to take a government bailout, and it cut its dividend. Neither the share price nor the dividend are back to the levels seen prior to the Great Recession. So nearly 15 years after the event, shareholders are still deeply underwater. To be fair, Citigroup is not the same company it was back then. It is more financially secure and is being operated more prudently. And yet the stock price has bumped repeatedly up against the $76 or so price level over the past decade only to fall back lower. With the stock price back up near that level, should investors buy on the hope that it will break through what appears to be an emotionally-driven price cap? Data by YCharts. There are better options than Citigroup The first concern that investors should probably have right now is related to the U.S. economy. There are legitimate worries that current tariff and tax policies could lead to a period of weakness. If that includes a recession, Citigroup stock will probably head lower again. That said, it seems unlikely that a recession will have the same impact on the business as did the Great Recession. So this risk is legitimate, but probably not something that should stop you from buying Citigroup in and of itself. That's where another important factor comes up -- the dividend. Citigroup currently offers a yield of around 3%. The average bank is yielding around 2.7%. That's a clear yield advantage, but you can actually do better if you buy Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD) and its 4.4% yield. Given that one of the key reasons to buy Citigroup is the dividend, this is an important comparison to consider. One big difference between these two equally large North American banks is that TD Bank, as it is more commonly known, didn't cut its dividend during the Great Recession. That's because Canadian banks like TD Bank face more rigid regulations in their home market and, thus, tend to operate with more conservative business models. And that is an important fact to consider today because TD Bank is suffering through a self-imposed wound. TD bank's U.S. business was used to launder money. It paid a large fine, is working to upgrade its internal controls, and is under an asset cap until regulators are happy with the new controls. Its core Canadian business is unaffected by the asset cap (which effectively means the U.S. business can't grow until the cap is lifted) but overall growth will be slower for a few years than it has been historically. The U.S. business was expected to be TD Bank's growth engine. This is not good news, but it will likely pass in time. And that's the opportunity because investors have reacted by dumping TD Bank's stock. This has pushed the yield up toward historical highs and created a long-term opportunity for dividend investors (and turnaround investors). Investors can take comfort in the fact that, despite the headwinds, TD Bank increased its dividend yet again at the start of 2025. It was a modest hike, but the point of the increase was to signal that the bank was down, but not out. Even Citibank below $76 isn't as compelling as TD Bank There's nothing inherently wrong with Citigroup. Investors probably wouldn't be making a huge mistake to buy it even as it bounces up against a stock price ceiling it has hit several times before. But with a yield of around 3%, investors can do much better with TD Bank and its 4.4% yield and turnaround potential as it recovers from a self-inflicted wound. While economic concerns will impact both of these large banks, TD Bank appears to offer more opportunity for income and capital appreciation today. Should you invest $1,000 in Citigroup right now?
