Beaujolais Private Investment Management, a division of Burgundy Asset Management Ltd., is committed to protecting our Clients’ privacy and the confidentiality of their personal information in our possession. Here are the ways we fulfill these commitments.

Notice to Investors

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual funds investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. Mutual Fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit issuer. In the case of the Burgundy Money Market Fund and Burgundy U.S. Money Market Fund, there can be no assurances that these funds will be able to maintain their net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in these funds will be returned to you. Mutual Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

Non-Canadian Investors

This site should not be considered an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy securities of mutual funds to any person residing in the United States of America or in any other jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful. Securities of the mutual funds managed by Burgundy Asset Management Ltd. (“Burgundy”) will not be sold to any person residing outside Canada unless such sales are permitted under the law of their jurisdiction.

Privacy Policy

All of our forms are designed to obtain only information needed for contractual, regulatory and income tax reporting requirements.

We keep Client information in a computer system, which can only be accessed by authorized employees using secure passwords.

This system has the same privacy and security measures as are in our main offices. We may also keep paper copies of Client information in filing cabinets in our office.

3.   Outside Service Suppliers

We may use service providers to perform specialized services on our behalf including but not limited to, issuing cheques, preparing your income tax slips, processing transactions or other data processing. Our service providers may at times be responsible for handling personal information however, they are provided only the information necessary to perform the required services. In addition, we require them to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with our privacy policies and security practices.

All Burgundy and Beaujolais personnel are trained to keep Client information private and confidential. We require all of our staff to sign our Code of Conduct, which contractually obliges them to respect and protect Client information even if they are no longer in our employment. We prohibit disclosure of any Client’s personal information to a third-party without the Client’s explicit consent.
