Understanding your investment statement

You receive two investment statements each year: a mid-year statement and an annual statement. They contain the same information but for different periods (from January 1 to June 30, and from January 1 to December 31).

We know there is a lot of information to decipher in this type of statement. We created a help page to explain it all in detail.

What section of your statement would you like to understand better?
