Monthly Income Plans and Systematic Withdrawal Plans If you hold your Securities in a non-registered account and would like to make regular redemptions from your investment in a Fund, you can set up a Monthly Income Plan (“MIP”) through TDIS or a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (“SWP”) through your dealer or Financial Advisor, provided that you meet the minimum starting balance per Fund. If your mutual fund account is administered for you by TDAM, as is the case with TD Mutual Funds accounts opened through TDIS and accounts at some other dealers, here is how the MIP and SWP work: • You may request redemptions from your investment in a Fund on a monthly basis under a MIP, or on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under a SWP. A redemption fee may apply to any Securities acquired through the back-end load or either of the low-load options. For more information, please contact TDIS, your dealer or Financial Advisor. • We will deposit the proceeds directly to your designated bank account or mail a cheque for the proceeds to the address you specify. • You may change the amount of your redemptions or cancel your MIP or SWP at any time by providing one business day’s prior notice to a TDIS representative or to TDAM (if you transact directly with TDAM). Other dealers may require more than one business day’s prior notice. • If the balance of a Fund held in your account falls below the minimum ongoing balance requirement for that series of the Fund, we may ask you to increase your investment to the minimum ongoing balance amount (if your dealer continues to offer that series) or to cancel your MIP/SWP. If your mutual fund account is not administered by TDAM, please contact your dealer or Financial Advisor for more information. The minimum MIP/SWP requirements for each series of Securities of a Fund are as follows:

Fees and expenses
The following table lists the fees and expenses you may pay if you invest in a Fund. You pay some of these fees and expenses directly. Others are payable by the Fund, which will reduce the value of your investment in the Fund. All series, other than Advisor Series, T5 Series and T8 Series, of the Funds offered under this simplified prospectus are considered to be “no-load” series. As a result, unless required under the trust indenture or declaration of trust, TDAM is not required to seek securityholder approval for the introduction of, or a change in the basis of calculating, a fee or expense that is charged to Securities of such series, or charged directly to the securityholders of such series by the Fund, TDAM or an arm’s length party, in connection with the holding of such Securities, in a way that could result in an increase in the fees or expenses that are charged to such Securities or directly to securityholders provided any such introduction, or change, will only be made if notice is mailed to securityholders of the applicable series at least 60 days prior to the date on which the increase is to take effect. For Advisor Series, T5 Series and T8 Series, TDAM is not required to seek securityholder approval for the introduction of, or a change in the basis of calculating, a fee or expense that is charged to Securities of such series, or charged directly to securityholders of such series by an arm’s length party in connection with the holding of such Securities, in a 23 TD Mutual Funds way that could result in an increase in the fees or expenses that are charged to such Securities or directly to securityholders provided any such introduction, or change, will only be made if notice is mailed to securityholders of the applicable series at least 60 days prior to the date on which the increase is to take effect.
Fees and expenses payable by the Funds Management fees Other than for Private-EM Series, management fees are paid to us in consideration of providing, or arranging for the provision of, management, distribution, and portfolio management services and oversight of any portfolio sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. Services provided in exchange for the management fee include, but are not limited to: • the directing of the business, operations and affairs of the Funds; • the making of investment portfolio decisions and the execution of portfolio transactions; • developing applicable investment restrictions and/or policies; • the preparation and filing of the disclosure documents to permit continuous offering of Securities of the Funds; • the preparation of all written and printed material for distribution to potential investors and existing securityholders in compliance with the registration, filing, reporting and similar requirements of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over the Funds; • the provision of office space and facilities, clerical help and bookkeeping services required by the Funds; • the provision of registry and transfer agency services, distribution crediting services and all other securityholder services and management services; • the payment of annual trailing commissions to your dealer (including if your dealer is a discount broker) in connection with the distribution of the applicable Securities; and • the provision of marketing advice and assistance to dealers selling the Funds. For Private-EM Series, management fees are paid to us in consideration of providing, or arranging for the provision of, management and portfolio management services and oversight of any portfolio sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. TDAM receives an annual management fee in respect of certain series of a Fund. If the Fund has more than one series of Securities, a different management fee based on the Series NAV per Security is payable in respect of certain series. The fee is calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly. Where the Fund invests in other mutual funds, there are fees and expenses payable by the other funds in addition to those paid by the Fund. However, no management fees are payable by the Fund that, to a reasonable person, would duplicate a fee payable by an underlying fund for the same service, including if that underlying fund is a TD Exchange-Traded Fund (“TD ETF”) or another investment fund managed by TDAM. Management fees, where applicable, are included in the management expense ratio (“MER”) for each series of the Fund. Where applicable, for the annual management fee, which excludes goods and services tax (“GST”) and harmonized sales tax (“HST”), payable by each series of a Fund, see the Fund details section of each Fund Profile. We may waive a portion of the management fees we are otherwise entitled to charge in respect of a series of a Fund. Any waivers of management fees may be suspended or terminated at any time by us without giving notice to securityholders. The Funds do not pay any management fees with respect to Private Series and O-Series Securities. Instead, we charge a fee directly to holders of Private
24 TD Mutual Funds
Fees and expenses payable by the Funds Series and O-Series Securities for services provided to such holders. See Private Series fee and O-Series fee for details. Management fee distributions If you make a large investment in a TD Mutual Fund Trust, as determined by TDAM from time to time, we may charge fees to the particular Fund that are less than our usual management fee that would otherwise apply in respect of your investment in the Fund. In such cases, the Fund will distribute to you the amount of the reduction (“management fee distribution”) which will be reinvested in additional units of the same series of the Fund. Any management fee distribution is paid out of net income or net realized capital gains of a Fund first, then as a return of capital. Fund expenses – portfolio Each Fund may pay costs associated with portfolio transactions (“Portfolio transaction costs Transaction Costs”), including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions to purchase and sell portfolio securities and research and execution costs, if any. Where TDAM or an affiliate is the manager of an underlying fund, no sales charges or redemption fees are payable by a Fund in relation to its purchase or redemption of units of the underlying fund. Where neither TDAM nor an affiliate is the manager of an underlying fund, no sales charges or redemption fees are payable by a Fund in relation to its purchase or redemption of units of the underlying fund which, to a reasonable person, would duplicate a fee payable by a securityholder of the Fund. However, there may be brokerage commissions associated with the purchase or sale of units of an ETF by a Fund. While Portfolio Transaction Costs, if any, are charged to the Fund, they are not currently included in the MER calculation of the Fund but are disclosed as a percentage of the daily average NAV of the Fund in the management report of fund performance. This percentage is called the trading expense ratio (“TER”). Where a Fund invests in other funds, the underlying funds are generally responsible for their own Portfolio Transaction Costs. However, the Fund’s TER includes its proportionate share of the TER of any underlying funds held in the Fund. Fund expenses – Fund operating Operating expenses, whether payable by TDAM or a Fund, as described expenses below, include expenses in connection with services provided by us or our affiliates. TD Mutual Fund Trusts TDAM pays all of the operating expenses with respect to O-Series Securities of the TD Mutual Fund Trusts. Private Series and Private-EM Series of the TD Mutual Fund Trusts and Advisor Series of TD U.S. Equity Pool bear their respective pro rata share of the operating expenses of the applicable Fund which are common to the operation of all series of the Fund as well as those expenses which are attributable solely to that series. These operating expenses (which may be paid to TDAM or our affiliates) include recordkeeping and communication costs, custodial, legal, audit and filing fees, bank charges and Trust Fund Costs (as defined below), and are included in the MER of such series. For all other series of the TD Mutual Fund Trusts, TDAM pays all of the operating expenses, other than “Trust Fund Costs”. The Trust Fund Costs are costs and expenses associated with: • all taxes; • borrowing; • each TD Mutual Fund Trust’s IRC*;
25 TD Mutual Funds
• the compliance with any new governmental and regulatory requirement(s); and • new types of costs or expenses not incurred prior to the date of this document or any amendment thereof. * As at the date of this simplified prospectus, each member of the IRC receives an annual retainer of $55,000 ($65,000 for the Chair) and $4,000 for each meeting of the IRC that the member attends, plus expenses for each meeting. These fees and expenses, plus associated legal and insurance costs, are allocated among the investment funds managed by TDAM, including the TD Mutual Fund Trusts, in a manner that is considered by TDAM to be fair and reasonable. Classes of TD Mutual Funds Corporate Class TDAM pays the following operating expenses, costs and fees for the Classes: • audit fees; • recordkeeping costs; • communication costs; • insurance costs; • custodial costs; • costs of printing and disseminating prospectuses, annual information forms, fund facts and continuous disclosure materials; • advisory fees pertaining to accounting and tax matters; • legal fees, costs and expenses relating to the preparation of prospectuses, annual information forms, fund facts, continuous disclosure materials, contracts and regulatory applications; • bank charges, excluding costs and expenses associated with borrowing; • regulatory filing fees; and • all sales taxes for such expenses, costs and fees. The Classes pay any other Class expenses, costs or fees (“Class Costs”), including expenses, costs or fees associated with: • all taxes; • borrowing; • directors’ fees; • each Class’ IRC**; • the compliance with any new governmental and regulatory requirement(s); and • new types of expenses, costs or fees, including those arising from new governmental or regulatory requirements, not incurred prior to the date of this document or any amendment thereof. Trust Fund Costs and Class Costs are collectively referred to as “Fund Costs”. If a Fund has more than one series of Securities, each series bears its pro rata share of the Fund Costs which are common to the operation of all series as well as those expenses which are attributable solely to that series. Each Class pays its share of TD Mutual Funds Corporate Class’ expenses. Fund Costs, where applicable, are included in the MER of each series of a Fund. Certain series of the Funds pay an administration fee to TDAM. Please see the next section of this table entitled Administration fee for more information. ** As at the date of this simplified prospectus, each member of the IRC receives an annual retainer of $55,000 ($65,000 for the Chair) and $4,000 for each meeting of the IRC that the member attends, plus expenses for each meeting. These fees and expenses, plus associated legal and insurance costs, are allocated among the investment funds managed by TDAM, including the Classes, in a manner that is considered by TDAM to be fair and reasonable. Sales taxes on management fees, administration fees and Fund Costs Each Fund is required to pay applicable GST and HST at a blended rate on management fees, administration fees and certain Fund Costs, as applicable, based on the province or territory of residence of the investors in each applicable series of the Fund. Any such taxes are part of the Fund Costs and are included in the MER of each such series of the Fund. Changes in existing
26 TD Mutual Funds
Fees and expenses payable by the Funds HST rates, adoption of HST by other provinces or territories, the repeal of HST by HST-participating provinces and differences in the provincial and territorial distribution of assets within each applicable series of the Fund all may have an impact on the MER of that series year over year. Administration fee An annual administration fee is payable to TDAM by the Funds with respect to certain series in consideration for TDAM paying the operating expenses (or certain of the operating expenses). Please see the previous section of this table entitled Fund expenses – Fund operating expenses for more information about the operating expenses that TDAM pays. Each Fund pays its Fund Costs and Portfolio Transaction Costs. The administration fee is payable in respect of Investor Series, H5 Series, H8 Series, D-Series, Advisor Series, T5 Series and T8 Series Securities of each Fund, as applicable, other than the Money Market Funds, TD Ultra Short Term Bond Fund, TD Short Term Bond Fund, TD Canadian Bond Fund, TD Global Conservative Opportunities Fund, TD Global Balanced Opportunities Fund, the Index Funds, TD Short Term Investment Class and Advisor Series units of TD U.S. Equity Pool. The administration fee is also payable in respect of Premium Series Securities of each Fund, other than TD U.S. Money Market Fund, TD Income Advantage Portfolio and TD Canadian Core Plus Bond Fund. The administration fee is equal to a specified percentage of the NAV of the Investor Series, H5 Series, H8 Series, Premium Series, D-Series, Advisor Series, T5 Series and T8 Series Securities, respectively, of the Fund calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly. Where applicable, for the annual administration fee payable by each series of a Fund, see the Fund details section of each Fund Profile. No administration fee is charged with respect to other series Securities of the Funds offered under this simplified prospectus. The administration fee, if any, paid to TDAM by a Fund in respect of a series may, in any particular period, exceed or be lower than the operating expenses TDAM incurs for that series of the Fund.
Management expense ratio (MER) The MER for each series of Securities is the total of the series’ proportionate share of the Fund Costs and series- specific fees and expenses, if any, expressed as an annualized percentage of the average NAV allocated to that series of Securities of the Fund during the period. This includes the Fund’s proportionate share of the MER of any underlying fund, including exchange-traded funds, in which the Fund has invested. The MER includes GST and HST, but excludes Portfolio Transaction Costs.
Fees and expenses payable directly by you Sales charges For Advisor Series, T5 Series or T8 Series Securities purchased on a front- end load basis, you negotiate a sales charge with your Financial Advisor. This charge may be up to 5% of the purchase price of your Securities. We collect the sales charge that you owe your dealer from the amount you invest and remit it to your dealer as a commission. We do not charge a sales charge for purchases of Investor Series, H5 Series, H8 Series, Premium Series, e-Series, D-Series, F-Series, FT5 Series, FT8 Series, W-Series, Private Series, Private-EM Series, Institutional Series and O-Series Securities.

Conversion fees We do not charge a conversion fee for conversions of Securities from one series or purchase option to another series or purchase option of the same Fund. Some dealers may charge you a conversion fee or charge for their services. This fee is not paid to the Fund. You negotiate the fee and pay it to your Financial Advisor. A conversion to a different series or purchase option may result in a redemption fee being charged if you exceed your Free Redemption Entitlement. See Purchases, switches and redemptions – Free Redemption Entitlement and Redemption fees (as described below). Redemption fees You will pay us a redemption fee if you redeem or convert your Advisor Series, T5 Series or T8 Series Securities acquired under the back-end load option or either of the low-load options, other than FRE Securities or Securities acquired through distribution/dividend reinvestment, within the specified time periods. The charge is based on the original cost of your Securities, how long you held them and, in each case, the purchase option under which the Securities were purchased. We deduct the charge from the value of Securities you redeem or convert. The following table shows the redemption fee schedule:

The amount of commissions that we pay to the dealer depends on the Fund and the purchase option. If you switch from one Fund to another TD Mutual Fund or a TD MAP Portfolio, your Financial Advisor may be paid a higher trail commission depending on the series and purchase option of the new TD Mutual Fund/TD MAP Portfolio.

Distributions/dividends paid by a Fund are not guaranteed to occur on a specific date and the Fund is not responsible for any fees or charges incurred by you because the Fund did not make/pay a distribution/dividend on a particular day. Please consult TDIS, your dealer or Financial Advisor to determine which distribution/dividend options are available to you. TD Mutual Fund Trusts Every year, each TD Mutual Fund Trust will distribute a sufficient amount of its net income and net realized capital gains, if any, such that no ordinary income tax will generally be payable under Part I of the Tax Act by the Fund (other than alternative minimum tax, where applicable) after taking into account applicable losses and any available capital gains tax refunds applicable to that TD Mutual Fund Trust. For any TD Mutual Fund Trust, if the distributions throughout a year are less than the Fund’s net income and net realized capital gains for the year, the Fund will make an additional distribution payment in December. TD Mutual Funds Corporate Class TD Mutual Funds Corporate Class may pay ordinary or capital gains dividends from time to time. Any dividends would generally be allocated amongst all Classes on a proportional basis, but the board has the right to pay dividends on a different basis if it considers it appropriate to do so. Any dividends payable in respect of a particular Class would generally be shared proportionately amongst all series of that Class, after adjusting for series-specific expenses. As a result, dividends would likely be different for each series of a Class. Fund expenses indirectly borne by investors This section provides you with information intended to help you compare the cost of investing in a Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. TDAM may have waived or absorbed a portion of a Fund’s operating expenses during the Fund’s last financial year. In such cases, the Fund’s operating expenses would have been higher had TDAM not done so and, consequently, would have increased the Fund expenses indirectly borne by you. Any waivers or absorptions of expenses by TDAM may be suspended or terminated at any time by TDAM without notice.

Fund expenses indirectly borne by investors Mutual funds pay for some expenses out of fund assets. That means investors in a mutual fund indirectly pay for these expenses through lower returns. The following table is intended to help you compare the cumulative cost of investing in this Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This example assumes that: (i) you invest $1,000 in units of the Fund for the time periods indicated; (ii) your investment has an annual 5% return; and (iii) the MER for each series of units of the Fund was the same in all periods as the MER that each respective series incurred in the Fund’s last financial year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
