(January 23 – 12:20 ET) – AGF Funds Inc. announced today that investors now have expanded choice between the AGF and Global Strategy families of funds with the introduction of transferability between the two fund families. The change is effective immediately.

“This is an exciting new step designed to give advisors and investors in Global Strategy funds a fantastic new selection of funds among AGF’s top-performing and broadly diversified family of funds,” said Blake Goldring, president and CEO, AGF Management Ltd.

In addition, for the first time AGF unitholders can now invest in two global funds advised by Rothschild Asset Management. “We are excited about our relationship with such a respected name in international money management,” said Goldring. “This enhances AGF’s strong reputation in this area.”

“To allow clients a seamless transfer between the two fund families represents a major milestone in our integration of Global Strategy,” added Goldring. “The smooth transition and integration of back office systems is a major achievement for AGF and we are proud to reach it just two months after the close of the Global Strategy acquisition.”

AGF Management Ltd. completed the acquisition of Global Strategy Holdings Inc. on Nov. 20, 2000.
