Introducing BMO Brookfield Renewables Infrastructure and Real Estate Tech Funds
The benefits of mutual funds. The exposure to alternative investments. Combined.
February 2022
At a time when market volatility, rising prices and low yields are a common denominator, investors are looking for alternative solutions that can boost returns, while diversifying their asset mix away from traditional assets and fixed income.
Alternative investments include non-traditional assets, like real estate and infrastructure. Investors can access these types of investments through mutual funds that invest in public securities to give exposure to alternative investments.
BMO and Brookfield have collaborated to bring you two new investment strategies that combine the expertise of BMO Global Asset Management as a provider of mutual funds and Brookfield PSG’s experience in investing across real asset sectors. The funds offer your clients access to Brookfield’s proprietary strategy, delivering on BMO GAM’s mission to deliver innovative products and solutions.
BMO Brookfield Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund offers investors access to sustainability infrastructure assets and renewable energy companies. Sales Aid

BMO Mutual Funds are managed by BMO Investments Inc., which is an investment fund manager and a separate legal entity from Bank of Montreal.
Commissions, trailing commissions (if applicable), management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the ETF facts, fund facts or prospectus of the relevant mutual fund before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
For a summary of the risks of an investment in the BMO Mutual Funds, please see the specific risks set out in the prospectus. ETF Series of the BMO Mutual Funds trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at a discount to their net asset value, which may increase the risk of loss. Distributions are not guaranteed and are subject to change and/or elimination.
Distribution yields are calculated by using the most recent regular distribution, or expected distribution, (which may be based on income, dividends, return of capital, and option premiums, as applicable) and excluding additional year end distributions, and special reinvested distributions annualized for frequency, divided by current net asset value (NAV). Distributions are not guaranteed, may fluctuate and are subject to change and/or elimination. Distribution rates may change without notice (up or down) depending on market conditions and net asset value (NAV) fluctuations. The payment of distributions should not be confused with a BMO Mutual Fund’s performance, rate of return or yield. If distributions paid by a BMO Mutual Fund are greater than the performance of the investment fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a BMO Mutual Fund, and income and dividends earned by a BMO Mutual Fund, are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.
Distributions, if any, for all series of securities of a BMO Mutual Fund (other than ETF Series) are automatically reinvested in additional securities of the same series of the applicable BMO Mutual Fund, unless the securityholder elects in writing that they prefer to receive cash distributions. For further information, see the distribution policy for the applicable BMO Mutual Fund in the simplified prospectus.
