Brompton Lifeco Split Corp.

Compound Annual NAV returns to October 31, 2024 1 Yr 3 Yr 5 Yr 10 Yr Class A Shares (TSX:LCS) 110.7% 26.5% 20.3% 14.9% S&P/TSX Capped Financials Total Return Index 45.7% 9.7% 12.1% 10.3% S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index 32.0% 8.1% 11.4% 8.4% Preferred Shares 6.8% 6.5% 6.5% 6.2% S&P/TSX Preferred Share Total Return Index 31.1% 1.0% 6.2% 2.6%



Returns are for the periods ended October 31, 2024 and are unaudited. The table shows the Fund's compound return on a class A share and preferred share for each period indicated, compared with the S&P/TSX Capped Financials Total Return Index (“Financials Index”), the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index (“Composite Index”), and the S&P/TSX Preferred Share Total Return Index (“Preferred Index”) (together the“Indices”). The Financials Index is derived from the Composite Index based on the financials sector of the Global Industry Classification Standard. The Composite Index tracks the performance, on a market weight basis and total return basis, of a broad index of large-capitalization issuers listed on the TSX. The Preferred Index tracks the performance, on a market weight basis and total return basis, of preferred shares listed on the TSX that meet criteria relating to size, liquidity, and issuer rating. The Fund is passively managed and consists of four Canadian life insurance companies on an approximately equal-weighted basis; therefore, its performance is not expected to mirror that of the Indices which have more diversified portfolios and include a substantially larger number of companies. Furthermore, the Indices' performance is calculated without the deduction of management fees, fund expenses and trading commissions, whereas the performance of the Fund is calculated after deducting such fees and expenses. Additionally, the performance of the Fund's class A shares is impacted by the leverage provided by the Fund's preferred shares. The performance information shown is based on net asset value per class A share or the redemption price per preferred share and assumes that cash distributions made by the Fund during the periods shown were reinvested at net asset value per class A share or the redemption price per preferred share in additional class A shares or preferred shares of the Fund. Past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the investment funds on the TSX or other alternative Canadian trading system (an“exchange”). If shares are purchased or sold on an exchange, 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. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the fund. You can find more detailed information about the fund in the public filings available at The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in share value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account certain fees such as redemption costs or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
