Canoe Financial announces changes to its mutual fund lineup
Fund name changes
Effective June 20 2025, the following name changes will take effect:
Canoe Defensive Global Balanced Fund will be renamed Canoe Fundamental Global Balanced Fund
Canoe Canadian Small Mid Cap Portfolio Class will be renamed Canoe Fundamental Small Mid Cap Portfolio Class
These changes reflect Canoe Financial's continued focus on clarity, precision and alignment between fund names and investment strategies.
Canoe Fundamental Global Balanced FundThe new name reflects the fund's change in investment strategy to focus on fundamental, bottom-up security selection, in alignment with Canoe Financial's investment process.
This change also removes the risk management overlay previously managed by Nalmont Capital Inc. ('Nalmont'). With the termination of the sub-advisory agreement with Nalmont, as it relates to Canoe Defensive Global Balanced Fund, Canoe Financial and Robert Taylor as its Chief Investment Officer, will be solely responsible for managing the fund's portfolio. Nalmont will continue to act as sub-advisor to Canoe Defensive Global Equity Fund, Canoe Defensive International Equity Fund and Canoe Defensive U.S. Equity Portfolio Class.
Canoe Fundamental Small Mid Cap Portfolio ClassTo broaden the fund's opportunity set, the fund's investment strategy has been changed to increase the foreign equity exposure limit to 49%, up from its previous constraint of 30%. This change enhances the fund's ability to capitalize on attractive small- and mid-cap opportunities outside of Canada.
The fund's new name reflects this added flexibility while maintaining its focus on high-conviction, actively managed small- and mid-cap equities.
No changes have been made to the investment objectives of either Canoe Fundamental Global Balanced Fund or Canoe Fundamental Small Mid Cap Portfolio Class.

How Mercedes-Benz Turned a Military Vehicle into a Celebrity Fashion Accessory
How Mercedes-Benz Turned a Military Vehicle into a Celebrity Fashion Accessory originally appeared on Autoblog. Mercedes-Benz celebrated a huge production milestone This week, German luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz celebrated a huge production milestone, rolling out the 600,000th unit of the Mercedes‑Benz G‑Class from the production line at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. According to Mercedes, the record-setting unit was one of the newest electric versions: a G580 with EQ Technology finished in a beautiful Obsidian Black Metallic. Over the past four decades, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, commonly known to both car nuts and civilians as the "G-Wagon," has had a 180-degree transformation from its utilitarian origins as a Spartan off-road vehicle. Today, they are a common sight on Rodeo Drive, in SoHo, Miami's Design District, or any cosmopolitan bloc, often adorned with shiny chrome accents or blacked-out trim, rolling on dubs bigger than extra-large pizzas. The Mercedes G-Wagon has become a status symbol for the rich and famous, whether they are Hollywood celebrities, social media influencers, or families showing off during the school run. However, despite its present-day posh image, this luxury SUV was not originally designed to be parked outside Carbone or Erewhon; it was built with a mission in mind. View the 1 images of this gallery on the original article The Shah's request The G-Wagon's story began in the early 1970s, when Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the then-Shah of Iran, shared an idea of a durable, capable, and practical off-road vehicle for both the military and ordinary civilians with Mercedes-Benz, and solidified his intent by placing an order for 20,000 such vehicles. Given that the Shah was a major shareholder of Daimler-Benz at the time, Mercedes executives and engineers took the suggestion seriously and partnered with Austrian manufacturer Steyr-Daimler-Puch to develop such a vehicle. They even went so far as to build a new factory in Graz, Austria, specifically for the purpose of manufacturing these vehicles. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article Following extensive testing under extreme conditions all around the globe, the Geländewagen, or "terrain vehicle," started to roll off the line in 1979. The Shah's order of 20,000 vehicles was never fulfilled, as he was ousted from power in the Iranian Revolution in 1976, three years before the first G-Wagon left Graz. However, the world's militaries quickly took note of the G's capabilities and responded by opening their checkbooks. Over its four-decade lifespan, the military and utility version of the G-Wagon was adopted by the armed forces of many nations around the globe. The Argentine military used them during the Falklands War, the Canadian Royal Army used them in Afghanistan, and currently, the United States Marine Corps uses a modified variant as Interim Fast Attack Vehicles (IFAVs). Additionally, Pope John Paul II also received a custom white G-Wagon with a glass dome, which became the first popemobile. This Holy See tradition continues with His Holiness Pope Leo XVI today with an all-electric variant. Built like a tank, a Mercedes tank Though the G-Wagon was tough, it still carried Mercedes DNA. While the early civilian versions were bare-bones, they offered refinement and precision that other off-roaders didn't have. As a result, it didn't take long for the model to develop a cult following among adventurers, explorers, and the well-to-do outdoorsy crowd. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article In 1990, the G-Class received its first major styling update. Although Mercedes did little to tweak its boxy, utilitarian looks, it transitioned it towards the luxo-barge we know and love. Civilian-spec models ditched the featureless utilitarian offerings for familiar luxurious Mercedes trimmings borrowed from its big sedans. For the first time, G-Wagons could be equipped with wood trim, leather seats, and other creature comforts like cruise control and anti-lock brakes. However, while American buyers in the know imported Gs through grey market channels, it wasn't until 1993 that G-Wagons began to make their way into America in a more legitimate manner. That year, the Feds approved Santa Fe G-Wagon specialists Europa to become the official G-Wagon importers for the American market. However, bringing these European vehicles up to Federal standards was expensive, resulting in these imports carrying a six-figure price tag, which solidified their appeal as a luxury item. The celebrity era However, the real turning point for the G-Wagon came in the 2000s, as Mercedes recognized that the American market had a huge appetite for big SUVs and 4x4s. In 2002, it officially started importing the G-Wagon into the American market when it introduced the G500, a V8-powered version of the G-Class. As the years went by, Mercedes released more powerful and luxurious versions of the boxy beast. Notable examples are models developed by Mercedes' performance arm, AMG. The engineers at Affalterbach developed performance versions like the G55 and the subsequent G63, which featured supercharged V8 engines lifted from its powerful performance sedans. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article As distribution increased, the boxy Benz transformed into a pop culture namestay as a must-have fashion item. In the early 2000s, it was impossible to ignore weekly gossip magazines and daily celebrity television programs stuffed with paparazzi photos and amateur footage of stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton around Hollywood with their G-Wagons. At the same time, rappers frequently name-dropped them in their songs and showed them off in garages featured on MTV Cribs. By the mid-2000s and into the 2010s, G-Wagons had become commonplace in music videos, on red carpets, and in pictures shared by celebrities like the Kardashians on social media. View the 1 images of this gallery on the original article Final thoughts: More than just a boulevard cruiser Even with all the hype, the luxurious features, the six-figure price tag, and the weird and innocuous limited-edition variants it comes in, Mercedes engineers never let the G-Wagon stray away from its roots as an off-roader worthy of militaries worldwide four decades after its release. To this day, the G packs some serious kit fit for any trail, including three locking differentials, a truck-like body-on-frame construction, special off-road driving modes, and the ability to climb steep 45-degree slopes with ease. Though it has a flashy reputation, the G-Wagon has a loyal following for a reason. No matter what you think, the G-Wagon's evolution from a tried and true military vehicle to a beloved luxury cruiser is one of the most impressive transformations in automotive history.

WAMCO DEADLINE: ROSEN, NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS, Encourages Western Asset Management Company, LLC Mutual Fund Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 16, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the 'Western Asset US Core Bond Fund' mutual fund classes - Class I (ticker: 'WATFX'), Class A (ticker: 'WABAX'), Class C (ticker: 'WABCX'), Class FI (ticker: 'WAPIX'), Class IS (ticker: 'WACSX'), and Class R (ticker: 'WABRX') - and the 'Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund' mutual fund classes - Class A (ticker: 'WAPAX'), Class C (ticker: 'WAPCX'), Class C1 (ticker: 'LWCPX'), Class FI (ticker: 'WACIX'), Class R (ticker: 'WAPRX'), Class I (ticker: 'WACPX'), Class IS (ticker: 'WAPSX') between January 1, 2021 and October 31, 2023, inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important September 5, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased WAMCO mutual funds during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the WAMCO class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 5, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants failed to warn investors that: (1) defendants favored certain WAMCO strategies, like Macro Opps, over other WAMCO strategies, like Core and Core Plus; (2) defendants disfavored certain WAMCO strategies, like Core and Core Plus; (3) any 'compliance policies and procedures' that WAMCO maintained 'to result in fair allocations of investment opportunities to clients' were either insufficient to ensure that Leech and his WAMCO Team fairly allocated trades among the strategies they managed or were expressly disregarded by defendants in order to allow the favoring of certain WAMCO strategies at the expense of other WAMCO strategies; (3) any 'oversight mechanisms' that WAMCO maintained were either insufficient to monitor Leech and his WAMCO Team or were expressly disregarded by defendants in order to allow the favoring of certain WAMCO strategies at the expense of other WAMCO strategies. As a result, defendants' actions operated as a fraud or deceit on the Class, artificially reducing the price of the 'Western Asset US Core strategy' mutual fund classes during the Class Period, damaging Class members. To join the WAMCO class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.

'I Know It's A Radical Idea,' Says Bernie Sanders, 'But We Need A Government That Represents Working Families, Not Billionaires'
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is again sounding the alarm on what he sees as a system rigged for the ultra-wealthy and against working Americans. 'The system is just not working for the average American,' Sanders wrote in a recent post on X. 'Not wages, not health care, not housing, not educational opportunity, not retirement security.' He added: 'I know it's a radical idea, but we need a government that represents working families, not the billionaire class.' Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — Calling Out Corporate Power In Red States During a recent CNN interview amid his 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour through Republican strongholds like West Virginia, Sanders said the Democratic Party has failed working-class people and needs to return to its roots. 'This used to be, decades ago, one of the strongest Democratic states in the country,' he said. 'Now it's a strong Republican state, because I think in many ways the Democratic Party has turned its back on what was its base.' He told CNN that economic issues cut across political lines and that many red states are filled with people who want affordable housing, better wages and guaranteed health care. 'They don't want to see tax breaks for billionaires. They don't want to see the rich get richer. They want health care as a human right. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage,' Sanders said. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can He also didn't shy away from criticizing then-Vice President Kamala Harris' failed presidential campaign, saying she was too influenced by wealthy donors. 'She had too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country,' he said. A Broken System That Protects The Powerful Sanders in Jujne warned of a new class of 'uber capitalists' who believe they deserve to rule in a 'Flagrant' podcast. 'There is a new breed of uber capitalists out there who really believe... that they are superior human beings,' he said. He pointed to far-right rhetoric that openly dismisses democracy in favor of elite rule. Sanders said this mindset echoes old ideas of divine entitlement. 'Back in the 19th century... I am the king, God made my family king. Sorry you're starving to death, but that's the way life goes.'He criticized billionaires for hoarding wealth and only choosing to give it away when they are near death, calling it a system that has the resources to solve real problems but refuses to act. 'We are the richest country in the history of the world,' he said. 'And yet 60% of people live paycheck to paycheck.' 'Is it a radical idea that we join every other major country on Earth and guarantee health care for people?' Sanders asked on CNN. 'Is it a radical idea to say that we've got to raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour?' For Sanders, these aren't fringe ideas—they're common sense in much of the developed world.
