1 The Historical 12 Month Distributions figure is for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of the trust's actual distributions. For a trust deposited after April 1, 2019, and effective July 31, 2019 for all other trusts, this per unit amount is based upon the weighted average of the actual distributions paid by the securities included in the trust over the 12 months preceding the trust's deposit date, and is reduced to account for the effects of fees and expenses which will be incurred when investing in the trust. The Historical 12 Month Distributions figure is as of the date listed in the prospectus during the trust's initial offering period, and is updated each calendar quarter following the close of the trust's initial offering period. Due to the negative economic impact across many industries caused by the recent COVID-19 outbreak, certain issuers of the securities included in the trust have elected or may elect to reduce the amount of, or cancel entirely, dividends and/or distributions paid in the future. As a result, the Historical 12 Month Distributions figure will likely be higher, and in some cases significantly higher, than the actual distribution rate achieved by the trust. There is no guarantee the issuers of the securities included in the trust will declare dividends or distributions in the future. The distributions paid by the trust may be higher or lower than the Historical 12 Month Distributions amount shown due to certain factors that may include, but are not limited to, a change in the dividends or distributions paid by issuers, actual expenses incurred, currency fluctuations, the sale of trust securities to pay any deferred sales charges, trust fees and expenses, variations in the trust's per unit price, or with the call, maturity or the sale of securities in the trust.

2 As of the close of business day prior to Initial Date of Deposit. The actual distributions you may receive will vary from any historical or estimated amount due to changes in the trust's fees and expenses, in actual income received by the trust, currency fluctuations and with changes in the trust such as acquisition or liquidation of securities. Distributions made by certain securities in the trust may include non-ordinary income.

  The trust will make distributions of income and capital on each specified Distribution Date to unitholders of record on the preceding Record Date, provided that the total cash held for distribution meets or exceeds any applicable minimum that may be specified in the prospectus. Undistributed income and capital will be distributed on the next Distribution Date in which the total cash held for distribution meets or exceeds any applicable minimum that may be specified in the prospectus.

  The trust may make distributions that represent a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent of the Unitholder's basis in the Units, and any additional amounts in excess of basis would be taxed as a capital gain. Generally, you will treat all capital gains dividends as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your Units. Unitholders should consult with their individual tax advisors.


About risk

There is no assurance the trust will achieve its investment objective. An investment in this unit investment trust is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the trust will decline and that the value of trust units may therefore be less than what you paid for them. COVID-19 and its effects have contributed to increased volatility in global markets, severe losses, liquidity constraints, and lowered yields. The duration of such effects cannot yet be determined but could be present for an extended period of time and may adversely affect the value of your Units. This trust is unmanaged and its portfolio is not intended to change during the trust's life except in limited circumstances. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this trust.

Common stocks do not assure dividend payments. Dividends are paid only when declared by an issuer's board of directors and the amount of any dividend may vary over time.

The trust is concentrated in the consumer staples sector. A portfolio concentrated in a single market sector may present more risk than a portfolio broadly diversified over several sectors. Companies that manufacture, distribute and provide consumer products and services face risks such as intense competition, the lack of serious barriers to entry for on-line entrants, economic recession and a slowdown in consumer spending trends.

In these cases, returns will not reflect a sales charge if a trust was not actually offered for sale to the public on the first day of the applicable period because units of the trust could not have been purchased by an investor at that time. These returns will show 'N/A' for With Sales Charge data
