On May 26, 2017, RBC GAM will close both the BonaVista Global Balanced Fund and the BonaVista Canadian Equity Value Fund.

Units of both funds are no longer available for purchase, and unitholders can redeem or switch their holdings in the funds until market close on May 26, 2017.

The funds are being closed as a result of their small size and duplication with existing investment mandates offered by RBC GAM.
