What information can be found from a simplified prospectus instead of Fund Facts?

Costs associated with mutual fund investing.

A summary of the top 10 investment holdings.

The investment strategies that are being used or proposed to be used.

Investor rights regarding cancelling an order.

Explanation
A simplified prospectus is a legal document that provides essential information about a mutual fund, such as its investment objectives, strategies, risks, fees, performance, and distribution policy. A simplified prospectus also contains information about the fund manager, the dealer, and the rights of investors. A fund facts is a summary document that highlights the key information from the simplified prospectus in a concise and easy-to-read format. A fund facts is delivered to investors before or at the time of purchase of a mutual fund12 One of the information that can be found from a simplified prospectus instead of fund facts is the investment strategies that are being used or proposed to be used by the mutual fund. The investment strategies describe how the fund manager intends to achieve the fund’s investment objectives, such as the types of securities, markets, sectors, or styles that the fund will invest in, the asset allocation or diversification policy, the use of derivatives or leverage, or the criteria for selecting or selling securities. The investment strategies may also include any restrictions or limitations that the fund must follow, such as the minimum or maximum exposure to certain securities, markets, or sectors, or the adherence to any ethical, environmental, social, or governance (ESG) principles. The investment strategies provide investors with a detailed and comprehensive understanding of how the fund operates and what risks it may entail34 The other options are not correct, as they can be found in both the simplified prospectus and the fund facts.
The costs associated with mutual fund investing include the sales charges, trailing commissions, management fees, operating expenses, and taxes that investors may have to pay when they buy, hold, or sell a mutual fund.
These costs are disclosed in both documents, as they affect the returns and performance of the fund12 A summary of the top 10 investment holdings shows the largest positions that the fund holds in its portfolio, such as the names and percentages of the securities, markets, or sectors that the fund invests in. This summary gives investors a snapshot of the fund’s composition and diversification, and it is updated regularly in both documents12 Investor rights regarding cancelling an order refer to the right of withdrawal and the right of rescission that investors have when they purchase a mutual fund. The right of withdrawal allows investors to cancel their purchase within two business days of receiving the fund facts or the confirmation of purchase, and receive a refund of the purchase price or the market value of the fund, whichever is less. The right of rescission allows investors to cancel their purchase within 48 hours of receiving the confirmation of purchase, if they did not receive the fund facts before or at the time of purchase, and receive a refund of the purchase price or the market value of the fund, whichever is less. These rights are explained in both documents, as they protect the interests of investors12 References = Canadian Investment Funds Course, Unit 6: Mutual Funds, Lesson 4: Mutual Fund Disclosure Documents, Section 6.4.1: Simplified Prospectus 1; Canadian Investment Funds Course, Unit 6: Mutual Funds, Lesson 4: Mutual Fund Disclosure Documents, Section 6.4.2: Fund Facts 2; CIFC prepkit, Chapter 6:
