Investment in Other Investment Funds

(1) [Deleted]

(2) Subsection 2.5(7) of the Instrument provides that certain investment restrictions and reporting requirements do not apply to investments in other investment funds made in accordance with section 2.5 of the Instrument. In some cases, an investment fund’s investments in other investment funds will be exempt from the requirements of section 2.5 of the Instrument because of an exemption granted by the regulator or securities regulatory authority. In these cases, assuming the investment fund complies with the terms of the exemption, its investments in other investment funds would be considered to have been made in accordance with section 2.5 of the Instrument. It is also noted that subsection 2.5(7) of the Instrument applies only with respect to an investment fund’s investments in other investment funds, and not for any other investment or transaction.

(3) Section 2.5.1 of the Instrument provides that certain investment restrictions and reporting requirements do not apply to investments by investment funds that are not reporting issuers, including investments in other investment funds that are not reporting issuers, made in accordance with the conditions in section 2.5.1 of the Instrument. Paragraphs 2.5.1(2)(c) to (f) of the Instrument also specify the accounting preparation and auditing standards that apply to the preparation and auditing of financial statements of an underlying fund in which an investment fund that is not a reporting issuer, determines to invest in reliance on the exemption.
