BMG Gold BullionFund provides a convenient way of buying and holding physical gold in bullion form. BMG Gold BullionFund’s fixed investment policy requires it to purchase only gold and to hold minimum of 95 percent of its assets in bullion. No derivatives, futures contracts, options or certificates are used, and does not rebalance its holdings or attempt to time the market. As a result, its assets are not dependent on anyone’s promise, representation or ability to perform. BMG Gold BullionFund’s assets are not someone else’s liability.
Fund Objective
BMG Gold BullionFund is an open-end mutual fund trust that purchases unencumbered gold bullion and stores it on an allocated and insured basis. BMG Gold BullionFund’s objective is to provide a secure, convenient, low-cost, method for investors to hold gold bullion as part of their portfolio for capital preservation, capital appreciation, portfolio diversification and portfolio hedging purposes against the volatility of other investments.

Fund Strategy
No derivatives, futures contracts, options or certificates are used, and BMG Gold BullionFund does not attempt to time the market. The fund invests in a responsible manner and adheres to the “criteria for responsible investing.”
Risk Level:
This risk rating of the Fund is in accordance with a standard risk classification methodology based on how the fund’s returns have changed from year to year as a stand-alone investment.
See the Fund’s Simplified Prospectus, for more information about the risk rating and specific risks that can affect the fund’s returns.
The BMG Gold BullionFund is not intended to be a stand-alone investment, and should not represent more than 20% of an investor’s overall total investment portfolio including any other bullion investments. Due to the fact that gold bullion typically has a low correlation to other financial assets, including it as part of a portfolio should generally reduce the portfolio’s volatility and may improve portfolio returns over the long term.

Key Reasons to Invest in this Fund
- Very attractive fundamentals: because of increasing world money supply, weakening currencies, and low to negative interest rates.
- Physical supply constraints in physical gold bullion, increased demand above supply, falling mine production.
- BMG Gold BullionFund maintains all the attributes of pure bullion
- Highly liquid, no counterparty risk, trades at NAV and no manager dependency
- Protects against inflation, deflation, currency devaluation, diversifies portfolios and is a store of value
- Units can be redeemed in physical bullion (conditions apply)
Liquidity
Bullion is bought directly from or sold directly into the global bullion markets. Purchases or redemptions of any size can be accommodated without affecting Net Asset Value. As a result the Fund has the same liquidity as gold, silver and platinum bullion itself. In contrast, the liquidity of closed-end funds and ETFs are dependent on the number of shares that are traded.
No Counterparty Risk
BMG Gold BullionFund owns the bullion outright, with no dependency on third parties and no possibility of third-party claims.
Independent of Portfolio Management Skills
BMG Gold BullionFund has a fixed investment policy that cannot be varied without unitholder approval. Risk is avoided since the Fund does not hedge, market time, leverage or rebalance holdings. As a result, performance tracks the price of bullion and not the trading skills of a portfolio manager.
Tax Efficient
No sales tax or withholding tax is applicable on bullion in Canada. All tax consequences on redemptions flow through to the redeeming unitholder. The BMG Gold BullionFund is approved for all Canadian registered plans, including RRSPs, RRIFs & TFSAs.
