BMO Funds - Institutional Investors

Privacy Policy Notice

BMO FUNDS, INC.
PRIVACY POLICY NOTICE

Federal regulations require financial institutions to deliver a summary of their privacy policies to their customers. We were committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information long before these regulations required us to do so, and intend to do the same in the future. Allow us to summarize for you, in clear, plain-English terms, our policies regarding how we obtain, handle, use and protect your personal information.

INFORMATION COLLECTION POLICY. We receive non-public personal information about you during the normal course of business from the following sources:

• From you, or from your financial representative, on account applications, other forms or electronically (for example, your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, social security number, assets and income).

• From you, or from your financial representative, through transactions, correspondence and other communications (for example, your specific investment purchases and your account balances).

• From you in connection with providing you a financial product or service (for example, your bank account numbers used for transferring funds to or from the BMO Funds).

INFORMATION SHARING POLICY. Under no circumstances, do we rent, sell or trade your personal information to anyone nor do we disclose it to anyone except as permitted or required by law. We may disclose your non-public personal information with companies that provide services to the BMO Funds such as transfer agents, printers and mailing agents that deliver annual reports, prospectuses and other required shareholder communications. All of the information we collect may be shared with our affiliates (such as Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, M&I Financial Advisors, Inc. and their affiliates). We also may share this information with financial institutions, such as the bank, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary through whom you purchased your shares of the BMO Funds, for the limited purpose of jointly offering, endorsing or sponsoring a financial product or service or with other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements.

If you decide to close your account(s), we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this notice.

INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards consistent with industry standards to protect the confidentiality, integrity and security of your non-public personal information. We permit access to your personal information only by authorized personnel who need that information to provide products or services to you. On our web site, we use a full range of Internet security measures such as data encryption, user names and passwords. Please note, however, that when you use a link from our website to a non-BMO Funds site, the BMO Funds privacy policies and Internet security measures no longer apply.

We require third parties to protect the security and confidentiality of your non-public personal information. These requirements are reflected in written agreements between the BMO Funds and third party service providers. Under no circumstances do we permit third parties to rent, sell, trade or otherwise release or disclose your personal information to any other party.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY. The BMO Funds reserve the right to modify or remove parts of this privacy statement at any time. Notice will be provided to you in advance of any changes that would affect your rights under this policy statement.

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. You may have other privacy protections under applicable state laws. To the extent those state laws apply, we will comply with them with respect to your non-public personal information.
