Sun Life Global Investments ("SLGI") is enhancing the exposure Global Fixed income within the Sun Life Multi-Strategy Bond Fund (the "Fund") in the spring of 2020.

SLGI is committed to regularly monitoring portfolio managers to ensure they continue to deliver on their investment approach while meeting the objectives of their funds. After a thorough due diligence review, SLGI has decided to make the following change within the Fund:

Global Fixed Income

We are changing our exposure to Global Fixed Income within the Fund from Templeton Global Bond Fund to the Sun Life Opportunistic Fixed Income Private Pool, sub-advised by Wellington Management Canada ULC, a subsidiary of Wellington Investment Advisors Holdings LLP ("Wellington").
