National Bank Investments announces the termination of two NBI Funds

MONTREAL, March 1, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - National Bank Investments Inc. ("NBI") announces the termination of the NBI Short Term Canadian Income Fund and the NBI Short Term Canadian Income Private Portfolio (the "Funds") on or about May 11, 2018. NBI also announces the closure of the Funds to new subscriptions as of 11:59 p.m. on March 1, 2018, with the exception of pre-established systematic investment and distribution reinvestment plans.

This was decided in order to simplify NBI's investment solutions lineup and to better address investors' needs.

NBI encourages unitholders of the Funds to consult with their advisor to understand the financial and tax implications of the termination of the Funds and to determine the solution that best suits their investment needs and personal situation.

The changes for the NBI Short Term Canadian Income Fund will be reflected in the upcoming amendment to the simplified prospectus for this fund, which will be available at www.sedar.com and at www.nbc.ca.
