PRIVACY STATEMENT


Capital International Asset Management (Canada), Inc. considers the privacy of
the personal information in its control to be of fundamental importance.  This
Privacy Statement explains the purposes for which we collect, use, share and
otherwise process your personal information:

 1. As a visitor of this website;
 2. In connection with your investment in investment funds offered by us or our
    affiliates;
 3. In connection with your business relationship with us or our affiliates; or
 4. In connection with your interest in a career with us or our affiliate.


What personal information do we collect?

Personal information, as used in this Privacy Statement, means information about
an individual that allows that individual to be identified.

We ask for consent to collect, use or disclose your personal information, except
in specific circumstances where collection, use or disclosure without consent is
authorized or required by law. Where your relationship with us is initiated by
your agent, such as a dealer firm or your advisor, we rely on your dealer or
advisor to obtain your consent to share your personal information with us.

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for us to
provide our products and services to you, to manage our relationship with you or
to manage our business operations. If you do not provide the information that we
ask for, we may not be able to provide the products or services you have
requested or establish and/or maintain a relationship with you.

The personal information we collect about you depends on your dealings with us.
If you are a client or otherwise deal with us in your individual capacity,
including to invest in our investment funds or as a prospective employee, we
collect the following categories of personal information about you:

 * Contact information such as your name, address and telephone number or email
   address.
 * Personal details such as age, date of birth, gender, citizenship, occupation,
   and marital status, details relating to your immediate family members and
   connections to senior political officials.
 * Identification documents such as your passport or driver’s licence, as
   permitted by law, to address client identification requirements.
 * Government-issued identification numbers such as a social insurance number,
   tax identification number, or health card number, as permitted by law, to
   address anti-money laundering, tax reporting or know your client requirements
   under applicable laws and regulations.
 * Financial information such as your source of funds and investment experience
   required to meet our regulatory requirements under applicable laws and
   regulations.
 * Information based on your relationship with us.  If you deal in the capacity
   of an officer, director, principal or employee of one of our clients, we
   collect contact information, information on your role, position, title and
   certain identifying information to meet our regulatory obligations. We also
   request sensitive personal information from associates and prospective
   employees. In addition to the foregoing types of personal information, we
   also collect information about memberships of a professional or trade
   association, criminal records, health information or medical history.
 * Information collected when you visit our website: your online identifier (IP
   address) and your contact details where you register for any of our events or
   services online.


How do we collect your personal information?

Personal information we collect about you comes either from information that you
provide to us or that is otherwise obtained during our relationship with you. 
We may obtain information when you call or write to us or, if you are an
investor, we may obtain information through your financial advisor or, if you
have a user profile to log into the financial advisor section of our website, we
may collect information related to your use of our website.  For clients,
associates, or prospective employees, we obtain personal information from you
through application processes and forms. 

We also obtain personal information from our agents or service providers acting
on our behalf, from third parties authorized to provide us with that
information, such as agencies used to complete due diligence checks, third
parties that provide identity verification services and from third parties who
provide services to you, such as your financial advisor.  For example, your
financial advisor  may  provide us with your personal information in order to
establish a relationship with us.  This could include personal and contact
details, and identification documents.  We may also collect personal information
about you through social media, subscription services, sanctions lists, public
registers, or other publicly accessible sources. 

We will not disclose any personal information except in the limited
circumstances set out below.  Any personal information disclosed to us will be
retained for as long as it is needed to meet any contractual obligations,
provide the requested services to you or to comply with applicable legal or
regulatory obligations. 

We do not generally collect and/or use your sensitive personal information
except where required and necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory
obligation, where you have made such information publicly available or where we
have obtained your consent.

What do we do with the personal information we collect?

We collect and use your personal information to the extent required to provide
our products and services to you as our customer, manage our relationship with
you and/or to manage our business operations.  What we do with the personal
information that we collect depends on your relationship with us and includes:

 * Verifying your identity
 * Evaluating and processing your application, accounts, transactions and
   reports
 * Providing you with ongoing services and information related to the products,
   services and accounts you have with us
 * Managing our business operations, including for analyzing activities to help
   us improve the products and services we offer and for internal training
   purposes
 * Confirming your employment and educational background and considering your
   suitability for current or future roles with us during the recruitment
   process
 * Managing the employment relationship with our employees
 * Managing risks to our clients and us, including against fraud and errors,
   exercising and defending our legal rights, and/or assisting with
   investigations, complaints, regulatory requests, and litigation
 * Complying with legal and regulatory requirements, including the requirements
   of self-regulatory organizations


Automated decision-making

An automated decision-making process is a process through which a decision is
made solely by automated means, without any human involvement.  We will only
engage in automated decision-making in accordance with applicable laws, where it
is necessary to enter, or to perform, a contract with you, or where you have
given your explicit consent.  If we use automated decision-making, we will
provide you with information on the personal information used to make such a
decision and you may submit your observations on that decision. 

Cookies

We use cookies to track the number of users who visit the public areas of our
website and may also record the location of your computer on the internet for
systems administrative and trouble-shooting purposes, as well as to report
aggregate information.  We also collect and store certain navigational and
transactional information, such as page hits, the PDF files you view, and the
times and ways you use this website.  We use navigational information to
personalize our website, for programing, editorial and financial research and to

website, please see our Cookie Policy.

Targeting or Advertising Through Interest-Based Advertising

We partner with third parties to provide targeted advertising services that are
customized based on your online activities over time and across unaffiliated
websites (Interest-Based Advertising).  These third parties may use cookies and
web beacons to collect information about your activity on our website and they
may combine it with information about your activity on other, unaffiliated
websites.  For example, third parties may use the fact that you visited our
website to target ads for Capital Group services to you on non-Capital Group
websites.  In addition, our third-party advertising providers may use
information about your use of our website to help target non-Capital Group
advertisements based on your online activity in general. 

For information about Interest-Based Advertising and how to opt out, please
visit:

 * Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page, available at
   www.networkadvertising.org/choices; or
 * Digital Advertising Alliance consumer choice page here


When do we disclose and transfer your personal information?

We do not sell any personal information to third parties. 

We may disclose or transfer, in confidence, your personal information to third
party service providers for services that include the preparation and mailing of
client documents on our behalf and for other services such as data processing,
information technology, and advertising or marketing services. 

We use other Capital Group companies (this means our ultimate holding company
and all its subsidiaries), located outside Canada, including the United States
and European Union, to manage your entire relationship with us, including
servicing any accounts or products with us and maintaining consistent
information about you, to manage and assess our risks and business operations
and to comply with legal and/or regulatory requirements. 

The personal information we share and/or transfer continues to be subject to
applicable Canadian laws and the laws of the service providers’ jurisdiction of
business.  We require our service providers to protect the personal information
we entrust to them and only use it for the limited purpose of providing their
services to us.  You should be aware that as some of our service providers are
located outside Canada, your personal information may potentially be accessible
to governmental, national security, law enforcement and other regulatory
authorities of the foreign jurisdiction in accordance with the laws of the
jurisdiction. 

We may also share your personal information with other financial institutions
and government organizations and, if you invest in our funds, your financial
advisor.  We only share information that is necessary to provide services to you
or to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, such as for tax reporting
purposes.  We may need to disclose your personal information to our auditors
and/or professional advisers to meet our statutory, audit and risk management
requirements, to obtain professional advice or to establish, exercise or defend
any legal claims, or in response to a legal or regulatory request or
requirement.  We may also share your personal information with certain
government entities in the event we reasonably believe your personal information
has been compromised and reporting to such entity may reduce or mitigate the
risk of significant harm to you. 

How do we protect your personal information?

We maintain appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to
protect your personal information against accidental or unauthorized loss or
access.  Within Capital Group and among our service providers, we seek to
restrict access to personal information to those persons who need it to provide
products and services to you.  These measures reflect our commitment to
maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information. 

How long do we keep your personal information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as we need it to fulfil
the purposes for which it is collected  or otherwise processed, including to
fulfil our contractual, legal, accounting, tax, or regulatory obligations, or to
effectively manage our operations and our relationship with individuals.  Where
we keep your personal information for compliance with legal and regulatory
obligations in accordance with applicable laws, we keep your personal
information for the duration required under applicable laws and regulations. 
These retention periods may be extended if we need to preserve your personal
information in connection with litigation, investigations or proceedings. 

At the end of the retention period, we will securely dispose of the personal
information, in accordance with applicable privacy legislation and Capital
International Asset Management's internal policies and procedures.

What are your rights relating to your personal information?

You may have one or more of the following rights under applicable privacy
legislation:

 * The right to withdraw consent.  Withdrawal of your consent partially or fully
   to our collection, use and/or disclosure of your personal information may
   limit our ability to provide services or products to you.  Please contact us
   for more information;
 * The right to request a copy of your personal information held by us;
 * The right to request corrections to your personal information held by us;
 * The right to request information related to automated decision-making
   processes that resulted in a decision;
 * The right to submit observations on decisions based exclusively on automated
   processing to a person with authority to review the decision;
 * The right, in limited circumstances, to request that your personal
   information not be disseminated; and
 * The right of data portability.


Individuals wishing to exercise these rights should contact us as set out
below.  We will respond to your request within 30 days of receiving it.

You can withdraw your consent for us to use your personal information for
marketing purposes by using the unsubscribe option in our electronic
communications with you or by contacting us to request that we not use your
personal information for this purpose.
