Index Returns are Total Return (TR), in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Source: RBC Global Asset Management. As of June 30, 2020. Rates of return less than one year are simple rates of return. An investment cannot be made directly into an index. The above does not reflect transaction costs, investment management fees or taxes. If such costs and fees were reflected, returns would be lower. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
