Toronto-based AGF Investments Inc. (AGF) Tuesday announced that special meetings will be held on April 10, to seek unitholder approval for certain proposed fund mergers and proposed investment objective changes.

AGF says the line-up changes are being proposed in an effort to streamline and simplify its product offering.

Unitholders will be asked to consider the following fund mergers:

  • AGF Canadian Stock Class into AGF Canada Class
  • AGF Canadian Value Fund into AGF Canadian Stock Fund
  • AGF Global Resources Fund into Acuity Natural Resource Fund
  • Acuity Canadian Balanced Fund into Acuity Conservative Asset Allocation Fund
  • Alpha Social Values Portfolio into Acuity Social Values Balanced Fund
  • Acuity Social Values Global Equity Fund into Acuity Social Values Canadian Equity Fund

Unitholders will also be asked to consider investment objective changes for the following funds:

  • Acuity Social Values Canadian Equity Fund
  • AGF Canadian Growth Equity Class
  • AGF Canadian Growth Equity Fund
  • AGF Canadian High Yield Bond Fund

If approved, the mergers will take effect on or about May 25, and the investment objective changes will take effect on or about April 19. The changes are subject to securityholder and regulatory approval, as applicable.

AGF also announced that AGF U.S. Dollar Money Market Account will be closed effective on or about May 18, 2012. Effective immediately, units of AGF U.S. Dollar Money Market Account are no longer available for purchase. The decision to terminate the fund was driven by the relatively small asset size and number of unitholders.

The fund will remain open to direct and wire order redemptions, switches out and transfers out until 16:00 ET, on May 17.
