¹ CEFI has compared the first Scholarship payments on a per unit basis from the Children's Education Trust of Canada Group Option Plan to the comparable first scholarship payments of other nationally available group scholarship plans through publicly available financial statements and prospectus documents at www.sedar.com. On the basis of this comparison, CEFI has determined that the Children's Education Trust of Canada Group Option Plan has paid the highest first Scholarship payments per unit to beneficiaries from 1997 to 2023 inclusive. Past payments are not a guarantee of future payments.
