As a result, we’ll be selling the units of the current underlying fund and buying units of the new underlying fund, For consistency, the GRS Segregated Fund (top fund) name will also be changing. There will be no impact for you or your plan members invested in those funds. For plan sponsors or plan members invested in these funds, there will be no change to the number of units or money they have invested.
