Letter from the National Sales Director

What the world needs now We put this issue of The Renaissance Advisor together amid severe market volatility. With the Dow and the TSX making daily appearances in the headlines, we wanted to ensure that our magazine will assist you in guiding your clients through this challenging period. As much as the events of the past few months may have unsettled investment professionals, the impact felt by your clients was far more severe. Now more than ever, we need to be in contact with our clients. As Grant Shorten, our director of strategic insights, points out in his Back of the Napkin article, we have to offer them complete objectivity, full transparency and brilliant service. It’s times like these that clients need our input and guidance so they don’t make mistakes that will keep them from reaching their long-term investment goals. If you would like to put Grant’s insights to work for you, please ask your Renaissance partners for more information. As you prepare for RRSP season, you will also be interested in the latest articles from our tax expert Jamie Golombek and CIBC’s deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal. Jamie has excellent tips on helping clients make the most of both RRSP and TFSA contributions. Benjamin has some interesting thoughts on why Canadian companies are a sound investment as they look beyond the U.S. to the rest of the world for markets. Speaking of Canada, you’ll want to take a look at our main story on Suzann Pennington, the new head of Canadian equities at CIBC Global Asset Management and manager of the just-launched Renaissance Canadian All-Cap Equity Fund. Suzann has a dynamite team backing her up and the research they provide is truly groundbreaking. She also says now is a great time to be investing in Canadian stocks, with valuations some of the lowest she’s seen in 10 years. That sounds like a good note to leave you on. But just before I sign off, I’d like to thank everyone who came out to our road shows. I hope we succeeded in inspiring you and that you’re still benefiting from the after-effects. I know the team at Renaissance Investments really benefitted from meeting you.

Registered savings Helping clients prioritize In a perfect world, you would encourage your client to maximize contributions to all registered plans; however, this is simply not feasible for most Canadians, who instead need to prioritize in order to take maximum advantage of all registered plans. Consider Joanne, who earns $ 80,000 annually, and her husband Kyle, who currently has no income. They have three young kids, and the youngest qualifies for the disability tax credit. The couple has the opportunity to save money in an RESP for all of their kids, contribute to an RDSP for their youngest, and save for retirement through an RRSP or TFSA. How should Joanne and Kyle allocate their registered savings? To start, I’ve always been a fan of “free money.” If the government is willing to give you money to help you save, why not take full advantage? My advice would be to begin by contributing to an RDSP for their disabled child, which allows investment of up to $200,000 in a tax-deferred manner. The most attractive

aspect of the RDSP, however, is the ability to supplement the plan with matching Canada Disability Savings Grants (CDSGs) and Canada Disability Savings Bonds (CDSBs).

TFSA contribution room), we have a total additional available registered savings opportunity of $24,400, after contributing to the RDSP and RESP.

Joanne and Kyle could also contribute to their children’s RESP to maximize the 2011 Canada Education Savings Grants (CESGs). By socking away $7,500 (3 x $2,500), the government will contribute $1,500 of CESGs and $150 of enhanced CESGs toward their children’s post-secondary education savings.

But clearly the couple, with three young kids, can scarcely afford to save nearly half of their remaining after-tax income of $54,500 in a registered plan, even taking into account the tax reduction by going the RRSP route. How, then, should they choose between socking any extra funds into an RRSP or TFSA?

So, where does that leave our couple? Well, if Joanne makes $ 80,000, pays about $16,000 in tax and puts $2,000 into an RDSP and $7,500 into an RESP, she and Kyle are left with $54,500 from which to pay all of the family’s other daily living expenses.

It comes down to comparing Joanne’s marginal effective tax rate (METR) today with what her or Kyle’s METR is expected to be upon retirement, provided the funds are left to grow tax-free for the long term in either plan. If the METR is expected to be lower, RRSPs may be a better choice, while TFSAs may be favourable with a higher expected retirement METR. Choosing a TFSA or RRSP is nearly always preferable to investing surplus funds in a non-registered account.

Considering Joanne’s RRSP contribution limit is $14,400 (18 percent of $80,000), and her TFSA limit is $5,000 for her and another $5,000 that she could gift to Kyle so he could make his own TFSA contribution (ignoring any carry forward of prior years’ unused

Economic Outlook

Deputy Chief Economist, CIBC Benjamin Tal

Canadian companies increasingly look beyond U.S. Exports to U.S. expected to drop to 60 percent of Canadian trade by end of the decade Canadian companies are lessening their dependence on the U.S. as a trade partner with exports now 30 percent more diversified than a decade ago. The main catalyst is the surge in exports to emerging markets and the significant decline in exports to the U.S., which are back to the pre-NAFTA levels. At this rate, the U.S. share of total exports will fall to 60 percent by the end of the decade, with emerging markets picking up nearly 90 percent of the gain. Canadian companies are taking advantage of historically low interest rates to finance investments — some of which is being directed towards expanding export opportunities. Growth in business investment outperformed growth in exports to the U.S. for 30 out of the past 36 quarters — the longest duration of outperformance on record. While real exports to the U.S. hardly changed over the past decade, business investment managed to grow by an average annual rate of more than four percent — again a record performance gap. A strong Canadian dollar is not the reason for this surge in capital expenditures. Real imports of machinery and equipment are rising today at roughly the same rate as they did when the loonie was much weaker.

While targeting increased export markets requires extra investment, it also means an improved bottom line. Academic research on the link between export diversification and corporate profits show that the relationship is highly non-linear. Both extremes (too high or too low levels of diversification) act as a negative for profits with the main improvement seen in the move from the low to medium level of diversification.

Diversification comes by increasing the markets we trade with and increasing the products we sell. On the surface it appears while we’ve made progress on the market front, we’ve lagged behind in terms of the range of goods exported. The surge in the share of energy exports (in both volume and value) has resulted in a 10 point reduction in the diversification measure of Canadian exports by product.

“Canadian companies are taking advantage of historically low interest rates to finance investments — some of which is being directed towards expanding export opportunities. ” With exports to the U.S. still accounting for 75 percent of total exports, Canada is currently in the optimal stage of its diversification process, with any increase in diversification adding notably to the bottom line. Already, exports to the U.S. as a share of Canadian corporate sales are hovering around their lowest rate since the early 1990s — implying a notable reduction in the sensitivity of corporate profits to exports to the U.S. This sensitivity will continue to decline as Canadian exporters increase their exposure to alternative markets.

However, this broad measure masks a more promising trend in manufacturing and industrial products. In this space, when measured by volume, overall diversification has improved by more than 30 percent over the decade. Key here are sectors that contributed to both product and destination diversification such as wood and paper, chemicals, metals and minerals, agriculture food, machinery and equipment, and aerospace.

G e

T o

A in o The increased diversification of exports by destination and product is not only necessary to maintain profitability, but is also required to hedge against the increased economic volatility that is likely to be an integral part of the economic landscape going forward. The past decade was characterized by reduced volatility in the economy, in general, and corporate profitability, in particular. The role of increased consumer borrowing was key in smoothing economic variability. Credit will likely play a lesser role in the new economic mix and the economy will lose its main shock absorber. The recent uptick in volatility will continue for the foreseeable future and corporate Canada will have to adapt by becoming more flexible and responsive.

“Key here are sectors that contributed to both product and destination diversification such as wood and paper, chemicals, metals and minerals, agriculture food, machinery and equipment, and aerospace.” These changes will be characterized by actions such as adapting variable hiring practices, more conservative finance practices, increased use of sales force to identify changes in the marketplace, increased ability to switch product type (which might require different capital equipment), and a higher capability to change the composition of sales during the cycle.

The post-Great Recession era, and the new mix of economic growth that will define it, could provide corporate Canada with a golden opportunity to restructure itself in a way that simultaneously reduces its dependence on the U.S. economy, and improves its bottom line. Key here will be continued deliberate attempts to diversify export activity by both destination and product with the realization that such an action is no longer a choice but a necessity.

Director, Strategic Insights Grant Shorten

Great expectations The five primary demands of the wealthy According to industry researcher Investor Economics, the number of high-net-worth households in Canada is set to nearly double by 2018. It’s also expected that, by 2018, a whopping two-thirds of all personal wealth in Canada will be controlled by the affluent segment of the marketplace. The opportunities for the advice channel are staggering, but the competition for these assets will resemble a battleground with clear winners and losers. Investment advisors and financial planners will need to have more than just sophisticated product solutions at their disposal in order to effectively differentiate themselves and capture the attention of the affluent investor. They will first need to gain a deeper understanding of the psycho-emotional makeup of the high-net-worth mind. Unfortunately, there is still a measurable disconnect between what the advisory community assumes to be true and what the wealthy are actually thinking and experiencing on a day-to-day basis. High-net-worth investors bring with them a surprising set of fears, challenges, dreams, wants and desires. Ultimately, however, all of these internalized elements percolate to the surface and translate neatly into a set of expectations for their investment advisory team. In my experience, there are five primary ‘demands of the affluent’ that extend out to virtually all of their key business relationships.

Complete objectivity The affluent are leery of all things investment related — especially following the meltdown of 2008 — and are therefore seeking unbiased and conflict-free advice. When high-net-worth investors evaluate an advisor’s approach, they need to be absolutely certain that the decisions made with their hard-earned wealth will be driven solely by their best interests, unblemished by compromising influences. Remove any doubt around potential conflicts of interest by openly demonstrating your objective approach to financial planning, estate planning, portfolio construction, and all other aspects of your business practice. You can achieve this by strategically initiating a discussion on the importance of objectivity in your work with your trusted clients, and explaining exactly how your philosophy is implemented on a day-to-day basis.

Full transparency Investment advisors who successfully build and maintain deep, lifelong relationships with their high-net-worth clients do so by

operating with full transparency from the start of the relationship. Unconstrained openness is the best way to accelerate the rapport-building process, and establishes a free-flowing communication dynamic for many years to come. Wealthy investors understand things like fees, and will pay handsomely for perceived value, but they don’t appreciate hidden costs or unexpected surprises. Proactively display your ‘see-through’ business model by volunteering the details of your compensation structure, total fee to the investor, client service expectations, and all other potential sources of objection, cynicism or mistrust.

Competitive advantage More often than not, high-net-worth clients achieved their wealth by creating (or being exposed to) a series of competitive advantages along the way. This is no secret to the wealthy and as a result they are keenly aware of the presence (or absence) of competitive advantages within your business practice. They want to know what makes you special and the definitive edge you will be bringing to the relationship. renaissance investments 5


T

W I a It o

B B th th a m sp c Confidently showcase your specific points of differentiation — those critical elements that separate you from the myriad of other professionals who claim to provide a similar service. As you deliver these points to the high-net-worth client or prospect, ensure that you directly and unapologetically address their unspoken question: ‘Why should I do business with you?’

Defined process The affluent are drawn to the stuff of structure and discipline. As a natural byproduct of their journey to wealth, the high-net-worth investor has come to value the critical importance of a defined process. The wealthy have little tolerance for flimsy, wishy-washy business models and will quickly lose faith in the presence of indecision. We can take strong cues from some of the largest institutional money managers and private wealth counselors, who have discovered the power of employing a stringent mechanical process in their work with wealthy clients. Become a master of a single-defined process. Instill massive clarity in the mind of your high-net-worth clients by articulating exactly how your process operates and what they can confidently expect at each stage along the way. 6 renaissance investments

Brilliant service

Putting it all together

Due to the complexity of their financial affairs, high-net-worth investors expect more attention from their advisory team than ever before. Virtually all key industry surveys tell us that the top two reasons an affluent investor leaves an advisory relationship is because of poor service and repeated mistakes.

As the affluent wave continues to gain momentum and the competition intensifies, there will be a select group of advisors who will stand out from the crowd. Those who understand the emotional needs of the wealthy investor, and actively align with their expectations, will enjoy unparalleled growth and long-term success.

In addition to the most fundamental expectations of regular contact and accuracy of work, today’s wealthy investor hungers for a relationship with a central go-to professional, and seeks holistic advice around more than just investments. The advisor who captures the majority of an affluent investor’s wealth does so by positioning himself as a true guardian of wealth and provider of exquisite client service.

This article first appeared in the Advisor.ca special report, HNW Report: What wealth wants., published in May 2011.

Deliver top-notch service to your elite clients by first discovering what they need and want from you and your advisory team. There are countless definitions of great service, but the only definition that matters to your high-net-worth client is their own. Start with a baseline suite of outstanding service offerings, and then supplement and tailor additional elements based on your client’s unique preferences.

The coach What I love about the business I really enjoy coaching my clients. I used to manage the staff at a Vancity branch, but I definitely prefer managing my clients. It took me a while to figure it out, but that’s by far the number one thing I enjoy. Best tip for gaining new clients Build trust. Always give good advice. My clientele is older, so they want to invest conservatively and make sure the money they’ve saved their whole life is going to last. Most of my clients are very well-off, but they tend to be very careful with their money. So one of the important things I do is coach them on spending their money effectively, from day-to-day expenses to charitable interests and their future beneficiaries. The book I’m currently reading I’m reading The Race by Clive Cussler, and I’m racing through it. I’ve read every single one of his books and always read them as soon as they come out. Favourite vacation spot I love Hawaii, I’ve been to Africa many times, and we have a cottage about a three-hour drive from home.

Without the support of advisors like you, Renaissance Investments would not enjoy the privilege of helping so many Canadians invest well and live better. Here is one of the outstanding professionals we are so very proud to work with.

Favourite hobby when I’m not at work I volunteer in a kindergarten class a couple of hours a week. I love teaching and coaching both kids and adults. I also have a keen interest in the environment. In a few months, I will be one of the first Canadian owners of the new Nissan Leaf, the world’s only mass produced all-electric car. What I offer to the local marketplace and to my clients Renaissance has some top-of-market conservative investment choices. The fund where I have the majority of my money is the Renaissance Corporate Bond Capital Yield Fund, an amazing lower-risk investment for retail clients and also business clients who don’t understand the capital dividend structure in business accounts. That fund, and the Renaissance Optimal Income Portfolio, are two solutions that give me and my clients tremendous peace of mind.

Suzann Pennington discusses her successful value investing style and the newly launched Renaissance Canadian All-Cap Equity Fund

When CIBC Global Asset Management Inc. (CGAM) announced earlier this year it had hired Suzann Pennington, the Globe and Mail described it as a “coup.” An industry veteran with a proven track record of success spanning more than two decades, Pennington was excited to join forces with CGAM, first and foremost, because of the firm’s robust independent research capabilities. Pennington’s Canadian Equity group includes a team of experienced portfolio managers and a Canadian Equity Research team, headed up by Marilyn Brophy. This team of research specialists follows a very disciplined long-term approach to develop proprietary, in-house research. The portfolio managers and career research analysts work together to integrate very strict discipline with an environment where critical thinking is required and the challenging of ideas and assumptions is encouraged. Depth and quality of research is more important than ever to successful active management. A well-defined portfolio 8 renaissance investments

“I think the full life-cycle research we’re doing in the Canadian equities universe is groundbreaking...” construction process and stock selection discipline are critical to consistent investment results — that hasn’t changed. But Pennington believes it has become increasingly important for the portfolio management process to be supported by independent internal research. Explains Pennington, “Internal research capability has

become the key differentiating factor to drive superior performance going forward. We have developed a research modeling and analytics platform — what we call our Research ‘MAP’ — to put everything into a long-term context.” “We’re analyzing companies and industries through a full competitive lifecycle — not just a business cycle — but from growth stage to maturity to decline. The fast pace of information — and misinformation — that is the reality of our electronic world, requires that we have a long-term framework to evaluate those new pieces of information very quickly and determine whether they

have a long-term impact on the value of a company, or are simply affecting a stock price in the short term. These long-term models and scenario analysis are instrumental to making good investment decisions.” Pennington believes research holds the key to investment success going forward. She says, “I think the full life-cycle research we’re doing in the Canadian equities universe is groundbreaking and will support our results over the next decade. A big part of successful long-term performance is avoiding minefields. At its most basic level our Research MAP goes a long way to reducing surprises.” The Renaissance Canadian All-Cap Equity Fund takes a long-term approach to stock selection, typically expecting to hold a position for at least four years. Pennington and the CGAM team put the Research MAP to constant use, seeking out stocks that trade at attractive valuations with enough “margin of safety” to warrant the risk. They run

“Internal research capability has become the key differentiating factor to drive superior performance going forward. We have developed a research modeling and analytics platform — what we call our Research ‘MAP’— to put everything into a long-term context.” sensitivity analysis, challenge and test assumptions, and evaluate potential downside risks. With its robust discounted cash flow (DCF) approach to evaluating companies, the Research MAP supports a range of valuation metrics including NAVs, EV/EBITDA, DCFbased intrinsic value and replacement value of assets. Pennington believes different tools are appropriate for different companies and has always considered the methods used by industry specialists.

While the research support is significantly enhanced, the criteria for making investment decisions remain pretty much the same for Pennington. “For 15 years,” she says, “I’ve been commenting to anyone who would listen that there are three key elements to successful investment management — portfolio construction, stock selection, and consistent adherence to discipline.” (For details, see page 10.) She is still using the same valuation tools and process that have served her well for the last couple of decades.

“Flexibility within a framework” As the manager of the newly launched Renaissance Canadian All-Cap Equity Fund and the Canadian equity component of the Renaissance Canadian Balanced Fund, Suzann Pennington says there are three key elements to successful investment management: s Portfolio construction is simply the framework that gives a portfolio its

characteristics, its attributes, and more than anything else, it will define the risk level. s Stock selection describes the investment style — in this case value —

buy discipline and sell discipline. It’s what most people want to talk about. s Constant application of a discipline throughout the cycle means that

the discipline has to be well defined and simple enough to be repeated. Organizational support ensures discipline is followed.

Pennington typically aims to have about 40 to 60 holdings in a portfolio to avoid overconcentration and single company risk. As part of its investment discipline, the team identifies the risks associated with each company, including those arising from competitive threats, balance sheet issues, geographic location, commodity prices and economic conditions. “The point is that it is okay to take calculated risks within a portfolio,” she says. “But it is inexcusable to have unintended risks.” Given all this, how does Pennington assess the risks for Canadian equities after taking over management of the Canadian Equity component of the Renaissance Canadian Balanced Fund and launching the Renaissance Canadian All-Cap Equity Fund? In the short term, she sees opportunities provided by the third quarter’s “fear-driven” market. For the long term, she sees even more opportunities. According to Pennington, Canada’s advantages include: s political stability s a growing economy s a stable banking sector s the long-term potential for rising oil prices 10 renaissance investments

s exposure to the fast-growing BRIC (Brazil,

Russia, India, and China) economies through both exports and an environment in Canada of properly audited financial statements and ready access to management With their long-term perspective, and a sophisticated and invaluable Research MAP in place, Suzann Pennington and her team have the resources, commitment and flexible framework in place to help investors achieve long-term success. The benefit of the team’s well-grounded process is that they are able to spend the bulk of their time analyzing and visiting the companies they think can bring the most value to investors. Current markets have been challenging but Pennington is not at all deterred by the recent market volatility. “I think this is a great time to be launching a Canadian all-cap fund,” she says. “With the exception of the credit crisis in 2008, Canadian market valuations are at the lowest levels we’ve seen in 10 years. Canada is a great mix of a strong domestic financial system and exposure to the higher growth regions of the world.”

What’s W hat ’s the the appeal appeal of of all-cap? all-cap? The opportunity to consider small- and mid-cap stocks provides a broader depth of business sectors and earning streams than the large-cap Canadian market which is concentrated in companies within the energy, financials and materials sectors. Access to small and mid caps increases diversification opportunities and mitigates sector concentration risk. Large-cap companies are widely covered by analysts and portfolio managers, but many mid- and small-cap companies fly under the radar and can often be purchased at a significant discount to fair value. The “small-cap effect” describes companies that are under-researched and subject to more market inefficiencies. We try to take ntage of the mispricing that frequently results. lll-cap universe is simply bigger with hundreds more stocks to choose from find good value even if one part of the market is temporarily expensive. e long term, small/mid cap stocks have outperformed the large caps ty that can be associated with small-cap investing often prevents participating in that segment of the market.

Independent Investment Management Axiom provides investors with the confidence of knowing that independent investment managers from around the world are working for them. Each portfolio manager of the underlying investments is selected based on their ability to meet the high standards expected of their organization, investment process, investment philosophy, and performance. Diversification This Axiom portfolio has been designed to minimize risks and solidify returns. We do this by ensuring the portfolio is broadly diversified at multiple levels, avoiding too

heavy a reliance on any one individual security, fund, sector, geographical region, or management style. Built-in Rebalancing This Axiom portfolio is rebalanced on an ongoing basis to prevent over exposure to any one asset class. When the asset allocation weightings shift more than 2.50% from the strategic asset allocation, the portfolio is automatically rebalanced. Monitoring Axiom relies on a team of investment professionals, CIBC’s Consulting Group, who select and monitor portfolio managers of underlying investments. A Summary of the Portfolio Axiom Balanced Income Portfolio is ideal for a conservative investor looking for a balance of income and long-term capital growth, with a focus on income. Diversified with an approximate balance of 60% income assets for stability and 40% equity assets for growth, the portfolio is positioned to deliver lower volatility and potential for growth. This combination can provide protection from volatile markets while delivering the potential for long-term growth.

Manager Commentary Your portfolio’s broad diversification helped to moderate the downside effects of this quarter’s financial market volatility. The portfolio’s allocation to fixed income holdings, which benefited from an exceptionally strong bond market, partially mitigated weaker returns from global equity markets. Over the quarter, investors were focused on global macro-economic risks and slower growth expectations. This led equity markets into negative territory as investors sought the relative safety of bonds. As at September 30, 2011

Manager Commentary Your portfolio’s broad diversification helped to moderate the downside effects of this quarter’s financial market volatility. The portfolio’s allocation to fixed income holdings, which benefited from an exceptionally strong bond market, partially mitigated weaker equity returns. Canadian equities were impacted as commodity prices reflected concerns over emerging market inflation and slowing growth. Over the quarter, investors were focused on global macro-economic risks and slower growth expectations. This led equities into negative territory, as investors sought the relative safety of bonds.

An approximate 55% weighting in equities provides for long-term capital appreciation, balanced by a 45% fixed income component. The balanced combination of equities and income sources can provide protection from volatile markets while delivering the potential for long-term growth.

Manager Commentary Your portfolio’s broad diversification helped to moderate the downside effects of this quarter’s financial market volatility. The portfolio’s allocation to global and Canadian fixed income holdings, which benefited from an exceptionally strong bond market, partially mitigated weaker returns from global equity markets. Over the quarter, investors were focused on global macroeconomic risks and slower growth expectations. This led equity markets into negative territory, as investors sought the relative safety of bonds. As at September 30, 2011

heavy a reliance on any one individual security, fund, sector, geographical region, or management style. Built-in Rebalancing This Axiom portfolio is rebalanced on an ongoing basis to prevent over exposure to any one asset class. When the asset allocation weightings shift more than 2.50% from the strategic asset allocation, the portfolio is automatically rebalanced.

Key Points on the Process Foreign Growth Portfolio follows the discipline of strategic asset allocation to ensure the right combination of investments is working for investors. Independent Investment Management Axiom provides investors with the confidence of knowing that independent investment managers from around the world are working for them. Each portfolio manager of the underlying investments is selected based on their ability to meet the high standards expected of their organization, investment process, investment philosophy, and performance. Diversification This Axiom portfolio has been designed to minimize risks and solidify returns. We do this by ensuring the portfolio

is broadly diversified at multiple levels, avoiding too heavy a reliance on any one individual security, fund, sector, geographical region, or management style. Built-in Rebalancing This Axiom portfolio is rebalanced on an ongoing basis to prevent over exposure to any one asset class. When the asset allocation weightings shift more than 2.50% from the strategic asset allocation, the portfolio is automatically rebalanced. Monitoring Axiom relies on a team of investment professionals, CIBC’s Consulting Group, who select and monitor portfolio managers of underlying investments. A Summary of the Portfolio Axiom Foreign Growth Portfolio is ideal for investors seeking a diversified foreign portfolio, with strong growth potential and is a complement to a core Canadian strategy. The combination favouring foreign equities, at approximately 86%, yet including a measure of income, at approximately 14%, provides the potential for longterm growth while offering a degree of protection from volatile markets.

Manager Commentary Your portfolio’s diversification helped to moderate the downside effects of this quarter’s market volatility. The portfolio’s allocation to global fixed income holdings partially mitigated weaker returns from global equity markets. Over the period, investors were focused on global macro-economic risks and slower growth expectations. This led equity markets into negative territory, as investors sought the relative safety of bonds. The weakening of the Canadian dollar slightly reduced declines in U.S. and international equity markets however deepened losses in emerging markets. As at September 30, 2011

MER is annualized as at February 28, 2011. Please refer to the Annual/Interim Management Reports of Fund Performance for further details.

Manager Commentary Four main themes dominated the quarter: U.S. economic growth, the European sovereign crisis, inflation in emerging market nations and volatility arising from the U.S. debt ceiling and the subsequent U.S. credit downgrade. This led equity markets into negative territory as investors sought the relative safety of bonds. The weakening of the Canadian dollar reduced declines in U.S. and international equity markets however deepened losses in emerging market equities. As at September 30, 2011

Suzann and her team employ a conservative, bottom-up value approach, which views risk on an absolute basis – an approach focusing on protecting the Fund from the risk of capital loss rather than the underperformance of an index. A well-defined process is geared to identifying holdings from all capitalization tranches. Suzann employs a fundamental approach to stock selection that results in an equity portfolio that is different from, and typically more diversified, on a sector basis than the benchmark index. The following are key elements of her investment process:

The result is a diversified portfolio of value-oriented stocks which avoids over- concentration in any one sector, capitalization tranche or holding and targets strong long-term performance.

Renaissance Optimal Inflation Opportunities Portfolio (Class A) Fund Category Tatical Balanced

Investment Management Overview

Investment Objective

Investment Management Approach

To seek long term capital appreciation by investing primarily in units of global and/or Canadian mutual funds and securities (including equity securities, fixed income securities, and permitted commodities), which are expected to benefit from or to provide a hedge against inflation.

This portfolio benefits from the proven experience and extensive depth of CIBC Global Asset Management’s Global Tactical Asset Allocation and Currency Management team led by Luc de la Durantaye and comprised of 20 portfolio managers, analysts and traders. Based on an investment philosophy that capital markets can be inefficient, the team uses a tactical asset allocation strategy to take advantage of changing inflationary cycles around the world, actively adjusting the portfolio holdings to address inflation concerns and capitalize on opportunities.

The Fund benefits from the investment expertise of CIBC Global Asset Management’s Steven Dubrovsky and Jeffrey Waldman along with the Fixed Income team. The team uses a bottom-up approach based on fundamental and quantitative analysis to deliver a high level of income with some potential for capital appreciation by investing primarily in shorter-term bonds of Canadian governments and companies. The team’s philosophy is that a core fixed income portfolio that combines multiple value added sources will lead to superior performance. The team combines four different strategies of producing added value from bonds – sector allocation, duration, term structure and security selection. The team begins with sector allocation by analyzing factors such as corporate profitability, fiscal balance of the provinces and municipalities and the historic spread relationship between the domestic sectors. The duration and term structure is determined through the team’s combined perspectives resulting from their technical and fundamental analysis. To do so, the team reviews

macroeconomic variables and uses technical interest rate analysis to draw conclusions about future economic growth and the direction of interest rates. For security selection, the team focuses on issuer-specific fundamentals, quantitative modeling of valuations and liquidity to determine securities for the portfolio. Once decisions are reached, the team implements a target price and execution strategy to build and maintain the portfolio. The Fund is continually subjected to management controls, monitoring and reviewing the portfolio characteristics on a daily basis. The result is a well-diversified conservative shorter-term bond portfolio with an average duration typically between three and five years, that is actively managed to deliver regular income and potential for capital growth. This Fund makes an excellent shorter-term bond portfolio for a more conservative investor or those with a shorter investment time horizon and can serve as a diversifying complement to an equity portfolio in order to manage risk.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) kept its administered rate at one percent for the entire quarter. The BoC cited slowing global economic momentum and heightened financial uncertainty as reasons not to withdraw monetary policy stimulus. The uptick in inflation earlier this year – largely due to elevated prices for energy and commodities – is expected to subside as wage growth stays modest, productivity recovers, and inflation expectations remain well anchored. The difficulties faced by weak European sovereign bonds increased in the quarter, and added to the uncertainty stemming from the slowdown in North American

economic growth. As a result, yields in North American bond markets declined to multi-decade lows. The manager maintained the duration of the fund longer than the benchmark because of the expectation of stable monetary policy and weak economic growth. The fund has an overweight position in corporate bonds, which adds yield to the portfolio. The manager continues to favour Government of Canada guaranteed mortgagebacked securities and municipal bonds, rather than provincial bonds due to their risk-reward profile. As at September 30, 2011

This Fund makes an excellent core bond portfolio for a conservative investor and can serve as a diversifying complement to an equity portfolio in order to manage risk.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) kept its administered interest rate at one percent for the entire third quarter of 2011, citing the “slowing global economic momentum and the heightened financial uncertainty.” The uptick in inflation earlier this year, largely due to elevated prices for energy and commodities, is expected to subside as wage growth stays modest, productivity recovers, and inflation expectations remain well-anchored. The difficulties faced by weak European sovereign bonds increased during the quarter, and added to the uncertainty stemming from the slowdown in North American economic growth. As a result, yields in North American bond markets declined to multi-decade lows and credit spreads increased. The manager maintained the duration of the fund near to that of the benchmark as interest rates were near the lower end of the expected range.

The fund had overweight positions in corporate investment-grade and high yield holdings, and an underweight in government bonds during the quarter. The relative weights kept the yield greater than the benchmark’s yield to take advantage of the better prospective returns expected from corporate bonds over the long term. The manager continues to expect growth to remain constrained as headwinds moderate the economy. Deleveraging – the reduction of debt – remains the dominant economic theme, and the manager expects it to result in lower economic growth. It should also result in central banks moving more slowly to raise interest rates when growth does improve. As at September 30, 2011

The Fund benefits from the investment expertise of CIBC Global Asset Management’s Steven Dubrovsky and Stephanie Lessard along with the Global Fixed Income team. The team follows a fundamental analysis approach to deliver a high level of interest income while maintaining security of capital and liquidity, by investing primarily in high-quality debt. The team’s money market strategy follows a comprehensive investment process. The first two steps are to determine portfolio duration and sector allocation between Canadian, provincial and corporate notes. The team constructs and maintains the security buy list,

which plays a key role in the security selection process. The manager next determines the optimal term structure. The entire portfolio is continually subjected to management controls, monitoring and reviewing the portfolio characteristics on a daily basis. The result is a well-diversified portfolio of high quality securities including T-Bills, commercial papers and other short-term debt instruments. The Fund is an excellent conservative complement to diversify an equity portfolio, and can be used as a conservative short-term investment.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) maintained the overnight rate, once again, at one percent at its September policy meeting. The overnight rate has remained unchanged since September 2010. The BoC noted that the global economic outlook had deteriorated, U.S. economic growth is slower than anticipated, and acute fiscal and financial strains emanating from Europe could lead to more severe dislocations in the global markets. On a positive note, the BoC expects the Canadian economy to accelerate in the second half of the year after stalling in the second quarter. The three-month Canadian T-Bill rate declined modestly to below the overnight rate. The one-year T-Bill rate experienced the biggest decline, driven in part by the significant rally in the bond market. With short-term TBill yields already trading below the overnight rate, the manager does not expect to see any significant move

down in yields from current levels, unless economic and financial conditions worsen materially forcing the BoC to ease. The manager is maintaining the term strategy around neutral, with some flexibility to extend the term if rates rise modestly, or to reduce the term if the credit curve inverts from the current flat level. The fund was overweight non-government paper to maintain a higher running yield. While the yield of corporate bonds have increased relative to Canada Government bonds due to deteriorating credit markets, there has been no real deterioration in commercial paper, major Canadian Bankers’ Acceptance or banksponsored asset-backed securities yield or market conditions.

The Fund benefits from the investment expertise of CIBC Global Asset Management’s Steven Dubrovsky and Stéphanie Lessard, along with the Global Fixed Income team. The team follows a fundamental analysis approach to deliver a high level of interest income while maintaining security of capital and liquidity, by investing primarily in Canadian government debt instruments that mature in one year or less. The team’s money market strategy follows a comprehensive investment process. The first step determines the portfolio duration based on CIBC Global’s viewpoint on expected interest rate movements. The

team may opportunistically invest in high quality commercial papers in order to increase the level of income. The manager next determines the optimal term structure. The entire portfolio is continually subjected to management controls, monitoring and reviewing the portfolio characteristics on a daily basis. The end result is a well-diversified portfolio of high quality securities invested primarily in T-Bills. This Fund is an excellent conservative complement to diversify an equity portfolio, and can also be used as a very conservative short-term investment.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) maintained the overnight rate, once again, at one percent at its September policy meeting. The overnight rate has remained unchanged since September 2010. BoC Governor Mark Carney backed away from any notion that a rate increase is likely in the near future. He stated that due to the slowing global economic momentum and heightened financial uncertainty, the need to withdraw monetary policy stimulus has diminished. The BoC noted that the global economic outlook had deteriorated, U.S. economic growth will be slower than anticipated, and acute fiscal and financial strains emanating from Europe could lead to more severe dislocations in the global markets. On a positive note, the BoC expects the Canadian economy to accelerate in the second half of the year after stalling in the second

quarter. The three-month Canadian T-Bill rate declined modestly to below the overnight rate. The one-year T-Bill rate experienced the biggest decline, driven in part by the significant rally in the bond market. With short-term TBill yields already trading below the overnight rate, the manager does not expect to see any significant move down in yields from current levels, unless economic and financial conditions worsen materially forcing the BoC to ease. At times, the fund held Canada T-Bills as well as provincial paper in order to provide some incremental yield in the current low interest rate environment. As at September 30, 2011

Manager Commentary U.S. GDP growth was revised lower in the first quarter of 2011, and economic conditions have remained sluggish throughout the year. European growth has declined while Germany, the engine of growth for Europe, has shown signs of slowing. The European sovereign debt crisis has worsened; worries over a possible Greek government default and challenging market conditions for Italian government bond refinancing continue to haunt the credit markets. European bank share prices have deteriorated significantly over fears about how much exposure the European banks carry to peripheral European countries, and the interbank lending market has reportedly ground to a halt.

The Fund benefits from the investment expertise of CIBC Global Asset Management’s Steven Dubrovsky and Jeffrey Waldman along with the Fixed Income team. The team uses a bottom-up approach based on fundamental and quantitative analysis to deliver a high level of income with some potential for capital appreciation by investing primarily in shorter-term bonds of Canadian governments and companies. The team’s philosophy is that a core fixed income portfolio that combines multiple value added sources will lead to superior performance. The team combines four different strategies of producing added value from bonds – sector allocation, duration, term structure and security selection. The team begins with sector allocation by analyzing factors such as corporate profitability, fiscal balance of the provinces and municipalities and the historic spread relationship between the domestic sectors. The duration and term structure is determined through the team’s combined perspectives resulting from their technical and fundamental analysis. To do so, the team reviews

macroeconomic variables and uses technical interest rate analysis to draw conclusions about future economic growth and the direction of interest rates. For security selection, the team focuses on issuer-specific fundamentals, quantitative modeling of valuations and liquidity to determine securities for the portfolio. Once decisions are reached, the team implements a target price and execution strategy to build and maintain the portfolio. The Fund is continually subjected to management controls, monitoring and reviewing the portfolio characteristics on a daily basis. The result is a well-diversified conservative shorter-term bond portfolio with an average duration typically between three and five years, that is actively managed to deliver regular income and potential for capital growth. This Fund makes an excellent shorter-term bond portfolio for a more conservative investor or those with a shorter investment time horizon and can serve as a diversifying complement to an equity portfolio in order to manage risk.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) kept its administered rate at one percent for the entire quarter. The BoC cited slowing global economic momentum and heightened financial uncertainty as reasons not to withdraw monetary policy stimulus. The uptick in inflation earlier this year – largely due to elevated prices for energy and commodities – is expected to subside as wage growth stays modest, productivity recovers, and inflation expectations remain well anchored. The difficulties faced by weak European sovereign bonds increased in the quarter, and added to the uncertainty stemming from the slowdown in North American

economic growth. As a result, yields in North American bond markets declined to multi-decade lows. The manager maintained the duration of the fund longer than the benchmark because of the expectation of stable monetary policy and weak economic growth. The fund has an overweight position in corporate bonds, which adds yield to the portfolio. The manager continues to favour Government of Canada guaranteed mortgagebacked securities and municipal bonds, rather than provincial bonds due to their risk-reward profile. As at September 30, 2011

The Fund brings together the investment expertise of CIBC Global Asset Management’s John Braive and Patrick O'Toole, along with the Fixed Income team. The team uses a bottom-up approach based on fundamental and quantitative analysis to deliver a high level of income with some potential for capital appreciation by investing in bonds of Canadian governments and companies. The team’s philosophy is that a core fixed income portfolio that combines multiple value added sources will lead to superior performance. The team combines four different strategies of producing added value from bonds – sector allocation, duration, term structure and security selection. The team begins with sector allocation; analyzing factors such as corporate profitability, fiscal balance of the provinces and municipalities and historic spread relationship between the domestic sectors. The duration and term structure is determined through the team’s combined perspectives

resulting from their technical and fundamental analysis. To do so, the team reviews macroeconomic variables and uses technical interest rate analysis to draw conclusions about future economic growth and the direction of interest rates. For security selection, the team focuses on issuer-specific fundamentals, quantitative modeling of valuations and liquidity to determine securities for the portfolio. Once decisions are reached, the team implements a target price and execution strategy to build and maintain the portfolio. The Fund is continually subjected to management controls, monitoring and reviewing the portfolio characteristics on a daily basis. The result is a well-diversified conservative bond portfolio that is actively managed to deliver regular income and potential for capital growth. This Fund makes an excellent core bond portfolio for a conservative investor and can serve as a diversifying complement to an equity portfolio in order to manage risk.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) kept its administered interest rate at one percent for the entire third quarter of 2011, citing the “slowing global economic momentum and the heightened financial uncertainty.” The uptick in inflation earlier this year, largely due to elevated prices for energy and commodities, is expected to subside as wage growth stays modest, productivity recovers, and inflation expectations remain well-anchored. The difficulties faced by weak European sovereign bonds increased during the quarter, and added to the uncertainty stemming from the slowdown in North American economic growth. As a result, yields in North American bond markets declined to multi-decade lows and credit spreads increased. The manager maintained the duration of the fund near to that of the benchmark as interest rates were near the lower end of the expected range.

The fund had overweight positions in corporate investment-grade and high yield holdings, and an underweight in government bonds during the quarter. The relative weights kept the yield greater than the benchmark’s yield to take advantage of the better prospective returns expected from corporate bonds over the long term. The manager continues to expect growth to remain constrained as headwinds moderate the economy. Deleveraging – the reduction of debt – remains the dominant economic theme, and the manager expects it to result in lower economic growth. It should also result in central banks moving more slowly to raise interest rates when growth does improve. As at September 30, 2011

The Fund benefits from the expertise of John Braive and Patrick O’Toole, along with the Real Return Bond Committee from CIBC Global Asset Management Inc., who follow a bottom-up approach to offer some protection for investors against the reduction in purchasing power caused by inflation. The team follows a bottom-up approach based on fundamental and quantitative analysis. The team begins with a fundamental valuation of the level of expected interest rates by focusing on the outlook for inflation, economic growth and fiscal and monetary policy. In addition, the team monitors technical indicators to determine the relative value of the market versus the expected outlook. To add further value to the expected performance of the real return bonds, the team analyzes the relative attractiveness of both the foreign inflation-

linked bond markets (particularly the U.S. market), and the provincial bond market versus the Government of Canada bond market. The Fund’s foreign currencies exposure, if any, is typically hedged to manage currency risk. As part of the portfolio management process, the team meets on a regular basis to re-assess the market outlook and to uncover strategies to help maximize performance. The result is a well-diversified portfolio of primarily real return bonds, which seeks to provide a regular level of interest income that offers some protection against inflation. This Fund is an excellent conservative income solution. The lower correlation of this asset class with other types of fixed income makes it an excellent diversifier while also offering protection of purchasing power against inflation.

Manager Commentary Real yields reached new lows. They followed nominal yields lower during the quarter, but declined at a lesser pace as inflation fears softened. The uptick in inflation earlier this year – largely due to elevated prices for energy and commodities – is expected to subside as wage growth stays modest, productivity recovers, and inflation expectations remain well anchored. The difference between nominal yields and real yields, known as the breakeven inflation rate, fell during the period to the lowest levels in almost a year, in reaction to those reduced inflation expectations. The Bank of Canada (BoC) kept its administered rate at one percent for the entire quarter, citing slowing global economic momentum and heightened financial uncertainty. The difficulties faced by weak European sovereign bonds increased, and added to the uncertainty stemming from the slowdown in North American economic growth. As a result, yields in North American

bond markets declined to multi-decade lows and credit spreads increased. Canadian real return bonds (RRBs) underperformed U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) as investors favoured the higher yields on the U.S. inflation-linked bonds. The manager expects that inflation will move lower in coming quarters, reducing the appetite for inflationlinked bonds. Uneven economic growth should further alleviate concerns about rising inflation, resulting in higher real yields. At quarter-end, the fund was overweight cash, nominal bonds, and underweight U.S. TIPS. The duration of the fund was maintained shorter than that of the benchmark. As at September 30, 2011

The Renaissance Corporate Bond Capital Yield Fund provides exposure to a corporate bond fund, known as the Reference Fund. This Fund benefits from the research-driven approach of its highly experienced and stable portfolio management team. CIBC Global Asset Management’s Fixed Income Team starts with a focused universe of corporate bonds that have passed rigorous, internal credit analysis. The team then selects only the attractively priced, higher-yielding bonds which fit within their favourable-industry outlook. The fixed income team’s philosophy is to investigate before investing. In that light, a dedicated credit analysis team conducts rigorous research to identify suitable issuers for the buy list and the Credit Committee provides oversight to the proprietary risk measurement. The fixed income team combines four steps to delivering a high quality corporate bond portfolio: 1. Industry Analysis: An outlook is developed for the Canadian economy, global trends and industry sectors by exchanging macroeconomic perspectives with CGAM’s Asset Allocation and Quantitative team. The result is the identification of sectors that offer relative improvement for credit situations and the avoidance of sectors whose performance may deteriorate. 2. Company Analysis: The credit team actively manages a list of approved issuers by evaluating the

financial risk of each company and developing a deep understanding of each business and its competitive standing through in-depth analysis and face-to-face management meetings. 3. Security Selection: From the credit team’s approved issuer list, the fixed income team identifies value opportunities by analyzing factors including the option-adjusted spreads, comparable securities, similarly rated entities and historical valuations. 4. Portfolio Construction: The team ensures sector, issuer and credit quality diversification is applied, and measures holistic portfolio risk through a proprietary sector spread analysis. For further risk management, the Fund is continually subjected to management controls, monitoring and reviewing of the portfolio characteristics on a daily basis. The result is a diversified, high quality portfolio of corporate bonds that provide tax-efficient high yields while mitigating risk. The tax-efficient structure, which delivers distributions in the form of capital gains, the reliable distribution and the conservative approach to corporate bonds, makes this Fund an excellent diversifier to a fixed income or equity portfolio outside of a registered plan.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) kept its administered rate at one percent for the entire quarter, citing slowing global economic momentum and heightened financial uncertainty. The uptick in inflation earlier this year – largely due to elevated prices for energy and commodities – is expected to subside as wage growth stays modest, productivity recovers, and inflation expectations remain well anchored. The difficulties faced by weak European sovereign bonds increased during the quarter and added to the uncertainty stemming from the slowdown in North American economic growth. As a result, yields in North American bond markets declined to multi-decade lows and credit spreads increased. High yield bonds were negatively affected by the concerns about the economy in the U.S. and Europe.

The manager continued to selectively add new corporate issues to the portfolio due to the relatively high investment-grade credit spreads, and remained underweight federal bonds to take advantage of the better prospective returns from corporate bonds. The manager continues to believe that corporate bond spreads are attractive in the medium and longer term and will remain fully invested in corporate bonds, despite the opportunity for the fund to invest up to 20 percent in government bonds. The manager believes government bonds will be more susceptible to rising interest rates as the economy recovers. As at September 30, 2011

The Renaissance Corporate Bond Capital Yield Fund provides exposure to a corporate bond fund, known as the Reference Fund. This Fund benefits from the research-driven approach of its highly experienced and stable portfolio management team. CIBC Global Asset Management’s Fixed Income Team starts with a focused universe of corporate bonds that have passed rigorous, internal credit analysis. The team then selects only the attractively priced, higher-yielding bonds which fit within their favourable-industry outlook. The fixed income team’s philosophy is to investigate before investing. In that light, a dedicated credit analysis team conducts rigorous research to identify suitable issuers for the buy list and the Credit Committee provides oversight to the proprietary risk measurement. The fixed income team combines four steps to delivering a high quality corporate bond portfolio: 1. Industry Analysis: An outlook is developed for the Canadian economy, global trends and industry sectors by exchanging macroeconomic perspectives with CGAM’s Asset Allocation and Quantitative team. The result is the identification of sectors that offer relative improvement for credit situations and the avoidance of sectors whose performance may deteriorate. 2. Company Analysis: The credit team actively manages a list of approved issuers by evaluating the

financial risk of each company and developing a deep understanding of each business and its competitive standing through in-depth analysis and face-to-face management meetings. 3. Security Selection: From the credit team’s approved issuer list, the fixed income team identifies value opportunities by analyzing factors including the option-adjusted spreads, comparable securities, similarly rated entities and historical valuations. 4. Portfolio Construction: The team ensures sector, issuer and credit quality diversification is applied, and measures holistic portfolio risk through a proprietary sector spread analysis. For further risk management, the Fund is continually subjected to management controls, monitoring and reviewing of the portfolio characteristics on a daily basis. The result is a diversified, high quality portfolio of corporate bonds that provide tax-efficient high yields while mitigating risk. The tax-efficient structure, which delivers distributions in the form of capital gains, the reliable distribution and the conservative approach to corporate bonds, makes this Fund an excellent diversifier to a fixed income or equity portfolio outside of a registered plan.

Manager Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) kept its administered rate at one percent for the entire quarter, citing slowing global economic momentum and heightened financial uncertainty. The uptick in inflation earlier this year – largely due to elevated prices for energy and commodities – is expected to subside as wage growth stays modest, productivity recovers, and inflation expectations remain well anchored. The difficulties faced by weak European sovereign bonds increased during the quarter and added to the uncertainty stemming from the slowdown in North American economic growth. As a result, yields in North American bond markets declined to multi-decade lows and credit spreads increased. High yield bonds were negatively affected by the concerns about the economy in the U.S. and Europe.

The manager continued to selectively add new corporate issues to the portfolio due to the relatively high investment-grade credit spreads, and remained underweight federal bonds to take advantage of the better prospective returns from corporate bonds. The manager continues to believe that corporate bond spreads are attractive in the medium and longer term and will remain fully invested in corporate bonds, despite the opportunity for the fund to invest up to 20 percent in government bonds. The manager believes government bonds will be more susceptible to rising interest rates as the economy recovers. As at September 30, 2011

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Mark Kanar | 01-01-2003 CIBC Global Asset Management Inc

Mark Kanar joined CIBC Global Asset Management in 2002 and is leader of the High Yield Bond Team within the Global Fixed Income Group.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the expertise of Mark Kanar and Bryce Eng along with the High Yield Bond team from CIBC Global Asset Management, who focus their bottomup value investment style primarily towards Canadian, but also foreign, corporate bond issuers that have higher yield opportunities.

Bryce Eng | 12-13-2007 CIBC Global Asset Management Inc

Bryce Eng joined CIBC Global Asset Management in March 1997. Mr Eng is a member of the Global Fixed Income team, operating from within the firm's Investment Management Platform. Mr Eng has a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Toronto (Toronto) and is also a CFA charterholder.

The High Yield Bond team’s approach follows a bottomup value philosophy, seeking to add value through all market cycles. Philosophically, the team embraces the high yield market’s inherent volatility due to the opportunity the volatility creates for their fundamental value style. The team makes an intensive fundamental evaluation of each company to assess its financial health and risk of default. Through this process, they identify the most attractive individual bonds with strong prospects for consistent income and growth, which can be purchased at a discount to their intrinsic value. The team’s fundamental value process is a combination of industry and bottom-up credit analysis to identify

securities that are undervalued, and those that should be sold to reinvest in better opportunities. The process includes an in-depth understanding of each company and its environment by analyzing 1) competitive threats; 2) terms and conditions of each bond; 3) pricing alternatives from companies within the same sector and from different industries with comparable credit ratings. With a thorough understanding of each bond, the manager moves opportunistically between bonds to capture the best scenario for delivering yield. Risk is managed through analysis of each security’s leverage, liquidity and interest coverage, and the Fund may hedge foreign exposure back to the Canadian dollar. The result is a well-diversified portfolio of higheryielding securities to deliver a higher level of current income with some potential for capital appreciation. This Fund is an excellent addition to a diversified portfolio seeking a higher level of income from its bond allocation.

Manager Commentary High yield bonds were down in August – the worst showing since November of 2008 – as fears of a doubledip recession renewed on weaker economic data. The European sovereign debt issues, the U.S. debt ceiling debate, and the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) downgrading of the U.S. government debt caused a flight away from risky assets to safer havens. High yield bonds current risk premium broke above the longer term average and remains attractive as S&P forecasts defaults will continue to decline.

New issuance activity in U.S. and Canada was fairly dormant in July and August; however, they are still at a record pace year-to-date. The manager added new holdings in: tissue paper manufacturer, Kruger Products LP; U.S. sports retailer, Academy Ltd.; and automotive marketing company, Trader Corp. The manager sold some of the fund’s "richer" holdings in August to bolster the fund’s cash cushion. As at September 30, 2011

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Stephen S. Smith | 11-01-2006 Brandywine Global Investment Mgmt, LLC

Stephen Smith is Managing Director and co-lead Portfolio Manager for Brandywine’s Fixed Income and Balanced portfolios and contributes his extensive knowledge of global markets and currencies to support the research efforts for the International/Global Value Equity strategies. Prior to joining Brandywine in 1991, he was Managing Director of Taxable Fixed Income (1988-1991) at Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management, Inc.; Senior Vice President of Taxable Fixed Income (1984-1988) at Provident Capital Management, Inc. He holds a B.S. in Economics and Business Administration from Xavier University.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the global fixed income expertise of Brandywine Global Investment Management, who manage the Fund with a top-down, value approach with a focus on real yield, to preserve capital, generate principal growth and earn interest income. Since their founding in 1986, Brandywine Global has pursued a value approach to investing, with a belief that regardless of asset class or region, value investing can provide excellent returns over the long term. By applying a top-down, value-driven process, Brandywine Global invests in bonds offering the highest real (inflationadjusted) yields, while considering currency valuation, inflation, monetary trends, political risks, the business cycle and liquidity measures. Efficient duration

management and country rotation (driven primarily by currency considerations) add incremental value. Investments are typically concentrated in 8-16 countries deemed to have the best total return potential. Subsequently, risk is managed by investing in undervalued securities with the potential for higher returns. The result is a globally diversified portfolio of bonds including sovereign debt and currencies of countries from around the world. This Fund makes an excellent core global bond portfolio and can serve as a diversifying complement to an equity portfolio and/or a Canadian bond portfolio in order to manage risk.

David F. Hoffman | 11-01-2006 Brandywine Global Investment Mgmt, LLC

David Hoffman is a Managing Director and co-lead Portfolio Manager for Brandywine's Global Fixed Income and related strategies. He has been employed at Brandywine Global since 1995.

David is a CFA charterholder and earned a B.A. in Art History from Williams College.

Manager Commentary During the quarter, the array of rising risks facing the global economy and financial markets created a tremendous amount of volatility in most asset classes. Corporate bonds were hit hard in August along with virtually every other so-called “risk asset”. The European Central Bank was forced to become lender of last resort for peripheral European Monetary Union borrowers; this somewhat perversely made Ireland, Portugal, and Spain the three best-performing markets in the global bond universe in August.

August and the best of these included the United States,

Safe-haven markets also performed very strongly in

As at September 30, 2011

Australia, and Germany. The best-performing major currencies included: the Norwegian krone, Japanese yen, and U.S. dollar. The worst-performing currencies were: the Mexican peso, South African rand, New Zealand dollar, and Australian dollar. These worst performers were all linked to commodity prices, which came under pressure. Emerging market (EM) currencies were mixed in August, but EM bonds generally rallied.

The Fund combines the investment skill of several distinguished investment management teams, who will provide their expertise in management of Canadian, U.S. and EAFE equity and Canadian fixed income. Luc de la Durantaye of CIBC Global Asset Management (CGAM) will determine the overall strategic asset allocation of the fund. For the Canadian equity component, Suzann Pennington and her team employ a conservative, bottom-up value approach, which views risk on an absolute basis – an approach focusing on protecting the Fund from the risk of capital loss rather than the underperformance of an index. A well-defined process is geared to identifying holdings from all capitalization tranches. The team’s approach results in a diversified portfolio of stocks which avoids over-concentration in any one sector, capitalization tranche or holding and targets strong long-

term performance. The Canadian fixed income team follows a bottom-up approach based on fundamental and quantitative analysis. The team focus combines four different sources of adding value to fixed income investing: duration strategy, term structure strategy, sector allocation strategy and individual security selection. The foreign equity component is managed by CGAM’s EAFE equity team employing a bottom-up stock selection approach. The result is a diversified, value-oriented balanced portfolio designed to protect existing capital and achieve long-term capital appreciation. This fund is an excellent option as a conservative, core holding for an investor.

Manager Commentary The third quarter was characterized by the re-emergence of European sovereign debt concerns pushing interest rates of the peripheral countries higher and triggering a sharp correction in equity markets. The world economy also disappointed most forecasters with surprising weakness, only partly attributable to temporary factors such as the production disruption from Japan’s earthquake and the spike in oil prices earlier this year. Nevertheless, the long-term debt deleveraging necessary to reduce government and consumer debt burdens continues to weigh on economic activity. In response to the weaker cyclical data and rising growth risks, the manager expects continued volatility as policy makers shift their policies to address the risk of recession and sovereign debt problems. However, the timing and effectiveness of such interventions are still uncertain at this point. The portfolio’s sector allocation

will be tilted towards more defensive sectors to help protect against the risk of continued unexpected economic weakness. The Canadian equities holdings were modestly rebalanced in the quarter while maintaining the portfolio’s deeply diversified structure. In the energy sector, Arc Energy Ltd. and Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. were eliminated. Introduced to the portfolio were: fertilizer producer PotashCorp, coal terminal company Westshore Terminals Investment Corp., and waste management company Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd. Manulife Financial Corp. was reduced and IGM Financial Inc. was eliminated in favour of increased exposure to Bank of Nova Scotia, which was trading at the low end of its historic valuation range and has less economic sensitivity.

Investment Management Approach This diversified Portfolio delivers an all-in-one income generation solution through a carefully aligned collection of asset classes and investment managers to capture the market’s best income opportunities, while carefully managing risk.

CIBC Global Asset Management Inc

This Portfolio optimizes the unique contributions from a group of carefully selected managers and asset classes to achieve the desired characteristics of an income generating investment product. A high degree of income generation is achieved primarily through a combination of CIBC Global Asset Management’s (CGAM) Canadian Bond and High Yield Bond approaches alongside RARE’s Global Infrastructure approach. The potential for capital growth is accomplished primarily through a combination of CGAMs Canadian Dividend Income approach with additional contributions from RARE’s Global

Infrastructure and Brandywine Global’s Global Bond approaches. Volatility is carefully managed to the lower end of the spectrum through the careful combination of each manager’s approach and asset class. A measure of inflation protection is attained primarily through a combination of RARE’s Global Infrastructure and CGAMs Real Return Bond approaches. The result is a diversified income generating portfolio that offers income generation, a measure of inflation protection and the opportunity for capital appreciation combined with capital preservation and low volatility. This portfolio makes an excellent all-in-one income solution because it offers investors the ability to tailor their cash flow needs through three stable monthly payout options and to potentially defer tax on return of capital distributions.

The Fund benefits from the expertise of Domenic Monteferrante and the Canadian Equity team from CIBC Global Asset Management, who focus their investment expertise towards high income-generating equity securities. The Canadian Equity team focus their approach toward selecting income-generating equity securities that are mis-priced through fundamental analysis. The team’s approach follows a rigorous process to select mis-priced securities, with the goal of achieving above-average, risk-adjusted returns over the long term. The initial screening is performed using proprietary internally generated buy-sell stock targets based on bottom-up analysis. This fundamental analysis includes a review of the business model, management assessment, and

evaluation of key ratios, which differ based on sector. A peer review is then conducted to scrutinize internal stock recommendations to focus on the best opportunities. The initial screening, combined with the deep fundamental analysis, leads to buy/hold/sell recommendations that are validated at the portfolio construction level through the guiding principals of the team’s philosophy. The result is a conservative, diversified portfolio of primarily Canadian income-generating securities including higher dividend and increasing dividend-paying stocks, selected with a disciplined approach. This Fund is an excellent option for the equity-oriented incomegeneration portion of a portfolio.

Manager Commentary All of the following have had a negative impact on equity investor confidence: lingering European sovereign debt concerns, continued economic tightening policies in China, weak U.S. economic data, and the low expectation for the successful implementation of any further U.S. fiscal and monetary stimulus policies. With the outlook for an extended period of low economic growth, and the expectation of choppy equity markets ahead, the manager continues to be cautious. While corporate balance sheets remain solid and interest rates in the developed economies are expected to remain accommodative, there is the growing possibility that the rate of corporate earnings growth will decline and limit equity performance. However, when compared to bond valuations, on a relative basis, equities appear more attractive over the long term. As a result, over the near

term, the fund will remain focused on defensive stocks, but the manager will selectively increase exposure to cyclical stocks should reasonable valuations arise. The manager established a position in Pembina Pipeline Corp. and added to existing positions in high-dividend yielding CIBC and AltaGas Ltd. The manager also added to Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. on its attractive discount to its estimated net asset value. The manager reduced exposure to: Nexen Inc., on disappointing quarterly results; and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., on profit-taking. The manager eliminated the position in Loblaw Companies Ltd. and invested some of the proceeds in Metro Inc., due to better relative valuation and earnings growth outlook. As at September 30, 2011

The Fund benefits from the expertise of David Graham and the Canadian Equity team from CIBC Global Asset Management, who focus their value investment style toward a diversified mix of income-generating securities. The manager opportunistically moves between different types of securities to take advantage of changing business cycles and market conditions to capture the best scenario for delivering conservative, high quality income and paying a fixed monthly distribution. The Canadian Equity team focus their approach toward income-generating securities. The team’s approach follows a rigorous process to select undervalued securities, with the goal of achieving above-average, risk-adjusted returns over the long term. The team uses a combination of quantitative and fundamental analysis, emphasizing primarily a bottom-up fundamental analysis, but combined with a top-down macro-economic perspective. The initial screening is performed using a

proprietary quantitative model to find the intrinsic value of a security. The stocks are then ranked in order of expected return and ‘value traps’ are avoided by further screening. The promising companies undergo qualitative analysis to evaluate financial risk and to fully understand the business and industry in which the company operates. The initial screening, combined with the deep fundamental analysis, leads to buy/hold/sell recommendations that are validated at the portfolio construction level through the guiding principals of the team’s value philosophy. The result is a conservative, diversified value portfolio of primarily Canadian income-generating securities including income trusts, higher-dividend stocks, and opportunistically including fixed income. This Fund is an excellent option for the income-generation portion of a portfolio.

Manager Commentary Capital markets around the world, including Canada, remain exceedingly volatile in the midst of continued global uncertainties and the rising threat of another recession. Financials and telecommunications are both overweight sectors in the portfolio and contributed positively to performance. The fund remains underweight the materials sector, but the gap has narrowed as the manager increased the weight in fertilizer companies and select gold producers. The manager still prefers base metals and fertilizers to gold because of the expected demand for these commodities from Asia. However, gold producers, like the commodity itself, could act as a hedge if the global recovery takes a turn for the worse. While the manager still believes equities will outperform

bonds over the intermediate term, in order to mitigate risk the fund’s equity exposure was reduced during the period. The fund now has about 12 percent cash to help protect against any downside risk, but also to redeploy if equity markets weaken further or signs of renewed growth emerge. Positions in Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM) and Enbridge Inc. were eliminated. RIM is cheap on a price-to-earnings basis but the manager still sees execution risk as the company moves to a QNX real-time platform. While Enbridge offers attractive dividend growth, it is trading around 19 times forward earnings. The manager initiated a position in Kinross Gold Corp. for its commodity exposure.

The Fund benefits from the expertise of David Graham and the Canadian Equity team from CIBC Global Asset Management Inc., who focus their value investment style towards a diversified mix of income-generating securities. The manager opportunistically moves between different types of securities to take advantage of changing business cycles and market conditions to capture the best scenario for delivering conservative, high quality income and paying a fixed monthly distribution. The Canadian Equity team focus their approach toward income-generating securities. The team’s approach follows a rigorous process to select undervalued securities, with the goal of achieving above-average, risk-adjusted returns over the long term. The team uses a combination of quantitative and fundamental analysis, emphasizing primarily a bottom-up fundamental analysis, but combined with a top-down macro-economic perspective. The initial screening is performed using a

proprietary quantitative model to find the intrinsic value of a security. The stocks are then ranked in order of expected return and ‘value traps’ are avoided by further screening. The promising companies undergo qualitative analysis to evaluate financial risk and to fully understand the business and industry in which the company operates. The initial screening, combined with the deep fundamental analysis, leads to buy/hold/sell recommendations that are validated at the portfolio construction level through the guiding principals of the team’s value philosophy. The result is a conservative, diversified value portfolio of primarily Canadian income-generating securities including income trusts, higher-dividend stocks, and opportunistically including fixed income. This Fund is an excellent option for the income-generation portion of a portfolio.

Manager Commentary Capital markets around the world, including Canada, remain exceedingly volatile in the midst of continued global uncertainties and the rising threat of another recession. Financials and telecommunications are both overweight sectors in the fund and contributed positively to performance. The fund remains underweight the materials sector, but the gap has narrowed as the manager increased the weight in fertilizer companies and select gold producers. The manager still prefers base metals and fertilizers to gold because of the expected demand for these commodities from Asia. However gold producers, like the commodity itself, might act as a hedge if the global recovery takes a turn for the worse. The manager eliminated positions in Research In Motion

(RIM) and Enbridge. RIM is cheap on a price-to-earnings basis but the manager still sees execution risk as the company moves to a QNX real time platform. While Enbridge offers attractive dividend growth, it is trading around 19 times forward earnings. The manager initiated a position in Kinross Gold for its commodity exposure. Many public companies are in much better financial shape relative to where they were prior to the financial crisis in 2008, and as a result, continue to raise their dividends. However, there are concerns that earnings forecasts are too optimistic and fiscal policy in the U.S. and Europe could become a drag on economic activity in Canada. As at September 30, 2011

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Barry A. Morrison | 02-13-1997 Morrison Williams Investment Management

As Chairman and CEO, Barry A. Morrison founded Morrison Williams Investment Management in 1992. Prior to that, Mr. Morrison was the Senior Vice-President and Director at BGH Central Investment management from 1981 to 1991, a Portfolio manager at MICC Investments from 1973 to 1978 and a Portfolio manager, fixed Income and equity investments, at United Funds Management from 1971 to 1973. Between 1968 to 1971, Mr. Morrison was a Security Analyst at Dominion Life Assurance. Jeffrey Wong | 11-01-2003

Jeffrey Wong joined Morrison Williams Investment Management in 2006. Primary responsibilities include management of equities for all portfolios, developing strategies, analyzing financial statements and stock valuation models that will contribute to the overall portfolio decision process. David Kunselman | 06-01-2006

David Kunselman joined Morrison Williams Investment Management in 2003. Primary responsibilities include analyzing financial statements, stock valuation models, and developing portfolio strategies to better manage portfolios. Provide in depth analysis of sectors, industries, and company data that will contribute to the overall portfolio decision process.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the award winning investment expertise of Barry Morrison, Chairman and CEO of Morrison Williams Investment Management Ltd. Morrison and his team combine a top-down and bottomup disciplined investment approach to deliver a balanced and diversified portfolio of primarily Canadian incomegenerating securities. The Morrison Williams approach begins with determining the appropriate asset allocation for the portfolio as part of their three-stage disciplined investment process. First, the firm conducts a top-down, fundamental economic-cycle analysis to determine monetary, economic, social and geopolitical trends and risks, and to identify cyclical and secular trends that shape capital markets. Second, they use technical analysis as a collaborative tool to supplement the

fundamental analysis. Quantitative measures are used to determine which asset classes and securities are likely to be the outperformers. Third, focusing on incomegenerating securities, they conduct a thorough security analysis to select a buy list that fits their criteria, which includes attributes such as stable, dependable businesses, good margins, good prospects for growth, strong balance sheets, clean accounting and seasoned, honest management. The result is a flexible, diversified and balanced portfolio of income-generating securities designed to achieve the highest possible risk-adjusted returns consistent with the conservative fundamental investment philosophy of its portfolio manager. The Fund is an excellent solution for the income-generating component of a portfolio.

Manager Commentary The fund continued to generate positive performance to the end of August 2011, due to its focus on high-quality securities with a bent towards generating equity income. Positive relative performance was achieved by an overweight to energy-related, infrastructure and real estate stocks. The fund’s foreign investment weight remains at zero, as the manager believes that Canada represents the best area in which to invest given its:

strong financial system, solid currency, stable politics and responsible fiscal and monetary policies. The manager expects that in the next 12 months the fund will enjoy another good year, as equity income-oriented investments will continue to outperform the low interest rates and returns of fixed income securities.

David Graham joined CIBC Global Asset Management in July 2002 and has over 35 years of financial industry and investment management experience. David is a member of the Global Equity group, operating from within the CIBC’s Investment Management Platform. David holds a Masters in Business Administration from York University (Toronto); Bachelor of Arts from the University of Western Ontario (London) and is also a CFA charterholder. Colum McKinley | 06-01-2010 CIBC Global Asset Management Inc

Colum McKinley joined CIBC Global Asset Management in May 2010, assuming a lead role as Portfolio Manager on the Investment Management Team. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Western Ontario (London); and is a CFA charterholder. Prior to joining CIBC Global Asset Management, he was a Portfolio Manager at Sionna Investment Managers, 2005 to 2010, and Vice President and Director, Portfolio Manager at TD Asset Management (Toronto), 1999 to 2005. David J. Winters | 09-01-2011 Wintergreen Advisers, LLC

David Winters is the managing member of Wintergreen Advisers. Prior to forming Wintergreen Advisers in May 2005, he held various positions with Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, including, president, chief executive officer and chief investment officer, and he was a research analyst for Heine Securities Corporation, the former investment manager for the Franklin Mutual Series Fund. Winters holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the investment expertise of David Graham, Colum McKinley and the Canadian Equity team of CIBC Global Asset Management who are responsible for the Canadian equity component and the overall strategic asset allocation of the Fund, while Wintergreen Advisers, LLC is responsible for the global equity component. The Canadian Equity team approach follows a rigorous process in selecting undervalued securities, with the goal of achieving above-average, risk-adjusted returns over the long term. The team uses a combination of quantitative and fundamental analysis, emphasizing primarily a bottom-up fundamental analysis, but combined with a top-down macro-economic perspective. The initial screening is performed using a proprietary quantitative model to find the intrinsic value of a security. The stocks are then ranked in order of expected return and ‘value traps’ are avoided by further screening. The promising companies undergo qualitative analysis to evaluate financial risk and to fully understand the business and industry in which the company operates. The initial screening, combined with the deep fundamental analysis, leads to buy/hold/sell

recommendations that are validated at the portfolio construction level through the guiding principals of the team’s value philosophy. For the global equity component, CIBC Global Asset Management will leverage the global deep-value expertise of Wintergreen Advisers to add diversification and value through investments in companies currently out of favour with the broader market; in particular, undervalued or distressed companies along with arbitrage opportunities that are showing signs for a significant return on investment. CIBC Global Asset Management will continue to determine the % of foreign content within the overall fund. The result is a lower-turnover, diversified portfolio of Canadian value companies and some exposure to global markets, which exhibit lower price-to-book and price-toearnings characteristics compared to their respective markets. This Fund is an excellent complement to a growth-oriented portfolio of Canadian or international equity holdings.

Manager Commentary During the quarter, the outlook for the global economy darkened. In addition, equity investors reacted to growing concerns about the fiscal positions of the U.S. and Europe. These factors contributed to heightened volatility in financial markets around the world. While clear signs exist that economic growth has slowed, it is expected to remain positive, although sluggish. Volatility and uncertainty is likely to persist until investors become more confident in the global economy’s continued improvement and the ongoing deleveraging progress. Despite the macro uncertainty, stock valuations are becoming more attractive. Over the last quarter the manager took advantage of stock price weakness by adding to the fund’s existing positions in Suncor, Talisman, and CIBC. These businesses are high-quality, defendable franchises with

good management and strong balance sheets. The manager has been able to take advantage of the decline in energy stocks to repurchase positions sold at higher levels. The fund is now overweight the oil and gas producers sub-sector. In addition, the manager initiated a new position in Power Corp. of Canada. Power Corp. is a diversified financials holding company with direct and indirect investments in Power Financial, Great-West Life, IGM Financial, and Putnam Investments. The company currently trades at a meaningful discount to its net asset value and pays a dividend yielding in excess of five percent. As at September 30, 2011

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the distinguished and proven investment expertise of McLean Budden Limited, one of Canada’s oldest investment counselling firms. McLean Budden provides a conservative, team approach to growth investing, with a focus on delivering long-term investment returns through investment in large and medium-sized Canadian companies with some global equity exposure. McLean Budden’s growth team stresses fundamental research as the primary method of adding value. The research team is responsible for performing original research, evaluating external research, attending industry meetings and interviewing management. The key criteria for investment are earnings growth, management quality, financial strength, business potential, earnings stability and return on equity. Price targets are established for each of the approximately 125 Canadian companies closely followed, resulting in a rate

of return expectation for each stock, taking into account its current price. McLean Budden’s commitment to specific securities and industry sectors depends on the earnings potential of the particular companies they follow. In addition to each stock’s return potential, they also evaluate the likelihood of price appreciation as well as the security’s trading liquidity. In addition, the fund manager will typically seek opportunities to maximize foreign equity exposure to enhance shareholder value. McLean Budden’s foreign equity team, which employs a similar philosophy, selects the foreign equity component. The result is a diversified portfolio of Canadian growth companies with some exposure to global markets, selected through a team approach that emphasizes strong fundamental research and focus on delivering long-term results. This Fund is an excellent complement to a value-oriented portfolio of Canadian or international equity holdings.

Manager Commentary On a year-to-date basis, the market has been driven by defensive, higher yielding names such as Enbridge, BCE, TransCanada and the gold sub-sector; traditional growth names, however, have lagged significantly. The manager maintains the fund’s higher weight in the technology, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors, and recently added a position in Finning International. Weights were also recently increased in Research In Motion, Gildan Activewear and Magna International. The fund continues to be underweight the materials sector, with the manager favouring growth names within the agriculture/fertilizer space, as well as the mining sector, at the expense of gold names. Holdings in Goldcorp were reduced given the relative strong recent

performance. Within the energy sector, the focus is on companies that enjoy incremental low costs of production. The fund’s relative underweight to the financials sector was maintained, with higher exposure to banks with the best-in-class retail operations, namely TD Bank and Royal Bank. The fund currently trades at a lower earnings multiple than the S&P/TSX Composite Index, while at the same time commanding a higher ROE. The focus remains on companies that are positioned for earnings growth while enjoying a competitive advantage within their respective industries. As at September 30, 2011

The Fund benefits from the extensive experience of Shanthu David, Jennifer Law and the Canadian Equity Small Cap team at CIBC Global Asset Management, who take a growth-at-a-reasonable-price approach with a value tilt to selecting Canadian small-cap companies. The Canadian Equity Small Cap team’s investment philosophy is driven by the understanding that market inefficiencies create opportunities for investing in Canadian small caps because investors tend to linearly extrapolate recent earnings trends when the actual long run determinant of stock prices is earnings growth. Therefore, Mr. David and his team aim to identify companies with above-average growth prospects trading at attractive valuations. To do so, they take an analytical, bottom-up approach combining internal-driven quantitative and qualitative analysis. The quantitative analysis focuses on companies with strong free cash flow and predictable earnings growth, as well as a track

record of growth. The focus is placed on companies that have proven that they can grow consistently. To support the analysis, the team uses detailed forensic accounting reports and internally reproduces the income statements to enable the team to estimate key fundamentals such as free cash flow and various measures of earnings to arrive at an intrinsic valuation for each company. The team’s qualitative analysis places significant emphasis on each company’s management team, their track record, vision and strategy. The investment process is monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure consistency and to manage risk. The result is a diversified, lower-turnover portfolio of growing small to mid-sized Canadian companies, whose stock is purchased at a reasonable valuation. This Fund’s lower than average market capitalization makes it an excellent complement to an investor’s Canadian largecap equity portfolio.

Manager Commentary The manager remains cautious about equity markets as the U.S. economy faces many challenges and developing countries are struggling with higher-than-expected inflation levels. With employment growth stalling, and an unhealthy political climate, the manager expects minimal fiscal or monetary effort to boost the U.S. into a growth mode in the near future. Europe continues to be a concern with ongoing sovereign debt issues in Greece. More recently, Spanish and Italian bond yields have been rising, showing increased market concern with the fiscal situation in these two large European economies. Energy and base metal equities have sold off with the “risk off” trade. As the economic uncertainty persists,

copper and oil prices may decline and put further pressure on resource companies. The manager remains positive about oil and copper demand in developing countries over the longer term, and a further sell off may represent an attractive opportunity. The physical gold price has reached record levels at $1,900 per ounce. With European sovereign debt problems and the high levels of public debt in the U.S. and around the world, the manager continues to see positive near-term conditions for gold. Additionally, gold’s appeal as a storehouse of value is reinforced by investor demand for physical gold, which is increasing significantly in China. As at September 30, 2011

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Gary W. Lisenbee | 07-01-2009 Metropolitan West Capital Management LLC

Gary Lisenbee is President and serves as portfolio manager at Metropolitan West Capital Management (MetWest). He co-founded MetWest in 1997. Mr. Lisenbee has been working in the investment management field since 1973. He holds a BA in Accounting and MA in Economics from California State University.

Investment Management Approach MWCM’s approach is driven by fundamental company research from a global perspective, utilizing a long-term focus that takes advantage of opportunities presented by short-term anomalies in high-quality businesses. What distinguishes MWCM’s approach to value investing is that it looks at quality first and valuation second. The investment team concentrates on selecting unique individual investments utilizing a low-risk, value-oriented methodology. The investment process consists of the following five steps: 1.Identifying quality companies: From an initial universe of companies with a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion USD, MWCM seeks companies that have exhibited financial strength, a capable, proven and motivated management team, attractive business fundamentals, as well as high and/or consistently improving market position, return on invested capital and operating margins. 2.Appraising value of businesses: After identifying quality, MWCM considers various valuation metrics to determine the company’s discount to its intrinsic value.

3.Identifying catalysts: MWCM then identifies one or more catalysts with high probabilities to unlock real value. Some catalysts may include productive use of free cash flow, change in management or control, innovative and/or competitively superior products, positive acquisitions or divestitures, amongst others. 4.Constructing and maintaining a diversified portfolio: While MWCM follows a bottom-up stock selection process, the team applies a risk management overlay, ensuring that the resulting portfolio is well-diversified along several lines including sectors and industries, as well as by exposure to economic factors such as cyclicality and interest rate sensitivity. The portfolio consists of approximately 40 high-quality and attractively-valued companies with identifiable catalysts that should lead to a higher stock price within a three- to five-year investment horizon. 5.Continually reviewing holdings and adhering to the sell discipline: The investment team devotes the majority of its time and resources to the on-going research and review of existing portfolio holdings. The investment team establishes a sell target when a security is purchased, based on the company’s intrinsic value.

Manager Commentary Despite considerable market volatility, the manager continues to employs a long-term, bottom-up stock selection process. As a result of a few trades and stock price movements, the positioning of the fund relative to the S&P 500 Index shifted moderately during the quarter. A new investment in CIGNA Corp. augmented the fund’s exposure to the health care, moving it from an underweight to an equal weight in that sector, relative to the S&P 500 Index. The sale of ConocoPhillips increased the fund’s energy underweight, while an addition to the Charles Schwab Corporation position within financials added to the fund’s overweight in the sector. All portfolio sector weights are the result of individual stock selection rather than tactical allocation decisions.

Over the long term, the manager expects to continue to add value for clients by staying true to their investment philosophy of investing in high-quality companies that trade at a discount to intrinsic value and possess catalysts to narrow the valuation gap over the next three to five years. The manager believes that the sluggish growth environment the United States currently faces favours its research-intensive approach as the firm seeks to identify superior companies with sustainable competitive advantages within each sector.

Mr. Scalzo is Senior Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager. Mr. Scalzo joined Aletheia Research and Management, Inc. in 2008 after working for Ken Fisher at Fisher Investments as a Group Vice President and Head of Mergers & Acquisitions. Prior to December 2006, Mr. Scalzo was a Regional Manager / Managing Director with Putnam Lovell NBF Securities where he spent over 15 years advising public and private companies on mergers & acquisitions in the financial services and real estate industries.

Investment Management Approach The fund delivers the time-tested investment methodologies of Aletheia Research and Management Inc. Aletheia, the classic Greek word for “truth and disclosure” signifies the importance the firm places on proprietary research, which has led to their recognition as one of the top growth managers in the United States. Aletheia takes a bottom-up growth approach to investing in the U.S. large cap equity market. Aletheia employs exclusive, time-tested methodologies to anticipate investor perceptions rather than reacting to them, in order to discover unusually attractive opportunities in pursuit of exceptional returns. The firm pursues exclusive information channels that produce proprietary research, avoiding traditional channels of information, such as Wall Street research or mainstream media. A key strength of the company is its ability to profit from both good and bad news, identifying opportunities to buy and sell gainfully. 1. Aletheia will invest primarily in common stocks that represent diversified industry sectors and broad market capitalization. 2. The firm employs hard data – primarily insider and corporate actions – forensic analysis of balance sheets

and cash flows, and non-biased industry research to guide its investments. 3. Using a bottom-up approach, Aletheia’s research process identifies securities with significant growth in earnings and cash flow. This process also uncovers opportunities in securities that have declined significantly in price or that are misunderstood or mispriced by the market. 4. The investment team screens an initial universe consisting of all publicly traded companies, with a preference given to larger market cap. From this universe, stocks are screened by identifying companies that demonstrate aberrational insider buying by corporate officers and employees, focusing on consensus buying by insiders, absolute dollar amounts of buying by insiders, option exercise behaviour, and forward sales. The result is a diversified portfolio of large cap U.S. growth companies seeking to deliver superior long-term performance. This fund is an excellent addition to a Canadian or global portfolio that seeks exposure to large cap U.S. equities.

Manager Commentary During the last several months, most of the portfolio companies have continued to generate outstanding operating results – whether it be the gold miners with increasing production and rising prices, the growing oil companies, or any of the dominant world-class companies in the fund like Coca-Cola, IBM and McDonald’s. Still, the market’s focus recently has been squarely on Europe’s sovereign debt crisis and the historic Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. This has impaired equities generally, and the manager believes mistakenly so, as it relates to individual companies. The market volatility has taken already high-quality, growing and very cheap businesses

to even lower valuations. As further illustration of the opportunities the manager believes currently exist, during one of the most volatile multi-week periods in stock market history in early August, insiders embarked on one of the biggest waves of insider buying across broad market sectors since 1998. The manager’s investment process is demonstrating that the “economies” of individual investments within the fund are actually very strong. The manager thinks this is the best leading indicator of future performance. As at September 30, 2011

E. Robert Fernholz, Ph.D., Co-Chief Investment Officer and Chairman of the Investment Committee, founded INTECH in 1987. In 1982, Dr. Fernholz published a paper titled “Stochastic Portfolio Theory and Stock Market Equilibrium,” which became the basis for the INTECH portfolio process.

Joseph Runnels | 12-01-2008 INTECH Investment Management LLC

Joseph Runnels, CFA, is Vice President, Portfolio Management of INTECH. Mr. Runnels joined INTECH in June of 1998 from QED Information Systems, a software development company providing portfolio management and investment accounting systems. Mr. Runnels spent six years prior to that in portfolio management for the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System in their fixed income investment division. Mr. Runnels holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Murray State University and has earned the right to use the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. Adrian Banner | 12-01-2008 INTECH Investment Management LLC

Adrian Banner, Ph.D., joined INTECH in August of 2002 and since that time has been an integral part of the firm’s Princeton-based research team. Dr. Banner, who was appointed co-chief investment officer at INTECH in 2009, has extensive knowledge of INTECH’s trading systems, optimization programs and research initiatives, both on an operational and theoretical basis, and has held various roles as part of INTECH’s Princeton team prior to being named co-CIO.

This Fund benefits from the exceptional discipline and risk management of INTECH Investment Management, LLC (INTECH), who use a proprietary mathematical model to capitalize on the market’s volatility. INTECH’s quantitative strategy captures excess returns from the U. S. equity markets, while eliminating subjective or emotional investment decisions. INTECH employs a mathematical model to capitalize on equity market growth while carefully managing risk. Their strategy seeks to generate excess returns by using the natural volatility and correlation of stocks while carefully managing risk. For this Fund, INTECH invests primarily in common stocks from the S&P 500 Index, selected for their potential contribution to long-term growth of capital. The goal of this process is to build a portfolio of stocks in a more efficient version than the

index. The process seeks to capitalize on the natural volatility of the market by searching for stocks within the index that have high relative volatility (providing the potential for excess returns) but that essentially move in opposite directions or have low correlation to each other (providing the potential for lower relative risk). By constructing the portfolio in this manner and continually rebalancing the portfolio to maintain "efficient" weightings, the mathematical process seeks to create a portfolio that produces returns in excess of its respective benchmark with an equal or lesser amount of risk. The result is a Fund that allows investors to participate in the growth of U.S. equities, one of the world’s largest economies, while managing risk through a highly disciplined investment process. This Fund serves as an excellent U.S. core component of a diversified portfolio.

Manager Commentary The manager has not made any changes to its investment process. The manager offers equity investors highly disciplined, risk-managed mathematical investment strategies that attempt to achieve a longterm target return in excess of a benchmark, while reducing the risk of significant underperformance relative to the benchmark. The manager’s investment process does not involve predicting individual stock prices or stock alphas. Instead, the manager uses the volatility and correlation characteristics of stocks to build portfolios with the potential to produce returns in excess of the benchmark, at benchmark-like risk and with high information ratios over the long term. As such, the firm has no economic, market, or fundamental outlook.

The manager will continue building portfolios in a disciplined and deliberate manner, with risk management remaining the hallmark of the investment process. The firm’s highly disciplined investment process is focused on the long term and incorporates a level of risk management that allows for consistent management in varying environments. While the portfolio may experience short periods of underperformance, the manager expects to exceed the benchmark over a threeto five-year time horizon. As the manager’s ongoing research efforts yield modest improvements, it will continue implementing changes it believes are likely to improve the long-term results for clients.

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Tom Mermuys | 12-01-2008 Kleinwort Benson Investors Intl Ltd.

Tom Mermuys joined the Dublin office of Kleinwort Benson (formerly KBCAM) in September 2003, having worked as a portfolio manager at Kleinwort Benson (formerly KBCAM) in Brussels since 2002. He graduated in Business Economics from the VLEKHO School of Economics, Brussels in 1999 followed by a Degree in Portfolio Management at EHSAL School of Economics, Brussels in 2002. He has also completed the CEFA (Certified European Financial Analyst) qualification. David Hogarty | 12-01-2008 Kleinwort Benson Investors Intl Ltd.

David Hogarty joined UBIM (now KBCAM) in 1994 as a Client Servicing Manager, moved into Business Development in 1998 and took up his current role as Product Specialist following the launch of the Dividend Plus Strategy in 2003. He previously worked as a private client investment advisor in a private brokerage firm. Mr. Hogarty graduated from University College Dublin with a B.A. in Economics and Politics in 1989.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the structured, quantitative investment management expertise of Kleinwort Benson Investors to construct a well diversified portfolio of international stocks with high dividend characteristics. Kleinwort Benson Investors follow a highly disciplined quantitative investment strategy to select companies that have a commitment to high levels of income payments. Kleinwort Benson Investors' belief that high dividend yielding companies offer better performance with lower risk drives their investment philosophy. The firm's investment approach considers all stocks, irrespective or mark capitalization, to maximize the size of the opportunity. They primarily select companies that generate high levels of cash and have chosen to pay a

high proportion of it to their shareholders, while avoiding deep value stocks. They also check for dividend sustainability, to avoid stocks that are overpaying relative to their financial strength. Kleinwort Benson Investors invest on a regional and sector-neutral basis relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, allowing them to reduce the risks of industry and regional traps. The result is a well diversified international equity portfolio that provides capital appreciation as well as downside protection. This Fund is an excellent option for investors seeks a conservative approach to investing in international equity markets.

Manager Commentary Over recent months the dividend strategy employed by the manager has remained unchanged. During a period of heightened market volatility and nervous sentiment, the companies within the fund have continued to deliver on the following expectations: above-average profit surprises, increased dividend payouts, low volatility and aggressive use of balance sheets. The manager’s outlook is for market volatility to persist over the short term. The manager believes economic growth will be weak but importantly, positive. The manager does not share the exaggerated economic pessimism currently dominating financial markets, and would furthermore highlight the financial health of the

corporate sector which should provide strong support to current share price valuations. The manager strives to deliver lower volatility than the benchmark, as well as strong diversity in stock, industry and regional exposures. The manager will continue to only invest in high-quality companies with strong balance sheets, low levels of debt, and that are cash rich. The fund should benefit from exposure to companies actively putting their cash to work through acquisition activity, increased dividend payments and share buyback programs. As at September 30, 2011

The Fund benefits from the conservative and patient, bottom-up growth style of Walter Scott & Partners Limited, a firm that takes a fundamental, long-term investment approach to international equities. Walter Scott invests in high-quality companies with a high return on equity, in industries enjoying aboveaverage, sustainable growth. Their buy and hold approach is focused on stock selection based almost entirely on internal research because of their focus on long-term results. Walter Scott screens more than 3000 companies with proprietary financial analysis tools and narrows the field to approximately 300 companies on which they complete intensive analysis and their seven

proprietary qualitative screens. A stock is selected only after it has received unanimous support of the investment team and typically begins with a 2% weighting in the portfolio. The portfolio’s country allocation is determined as a result of the stock and sector decisions. The result is a buy and hold, lower volatility portfolio of conservative international growth stocks selected using an in-depth bottom-up approach. The Fund is an excellent complement to a domestic portfolio, and as a growth offset for a value-oriented portfolio.

Manager Commentary There can be no escape from unstinting question marks over numerous eurozone countries and many European banks; continued turmoil in the Middle East; and at best, slow and fragile economic growth in most major economies. These factors combine to present a picture that has been in many ways unchanged for most of this year, with the only more recent change being marked volatility in equity markets. In such uncertain and increasingly volatile circumstances, the manager remains committed and focused on its investment process, the identification of companies with the financial strength and strategic vision to grow over the medium to long term. The manager is keeping a very close eye on all of the companies in the fund to ensure that, fundamentally,

each is performing as expected. The superior quality of these companies should provide a degree of defensiveness. This has certainly been the case in the past and the manager believes that there is little merit in being whip-sawed into portfolio activity during times of heightened volatility. The manager believes the fund is aligned to companies that are 'long-term compounders', each possessing the ability to manoeuvre through these challenging times. Over the period the sale of Hirose was completed. Holdings in KONE and Taiwan Semiconductor were increased and positions in Industria De Diseno Textil and NestlĂŠ were reduced.

The Fund benefits from the highly successful, deep value investment approach to global equity of David J. Winters, exclusively available in Canada through Renaissance Investments. David J. Winters of Wintergreen Advisers employs a deep-value style to managing equities by investing in undervalued and distressed companies that are currently out of favour with the broader market, but whose solid prospects demonstrate signs for a significant return on investment. In picking stocks for the Fund, he favours a tight portfolio of companies where senior management often act like long-term owners of the business. Mr. Winters’ stock selection is based on the strength of his conviction, where he carefully follows companies waiting for their prices to fall to a level where he

believes they are seriously undervalued. In order to provide consistent returns over the long term, flexibility is key. As a result, Mr. Winters has the ability to invest in companies of any size, in any geographic region or sector. He may also take advantage of arbitrage opportunities and distressed securities in the global market. The result is a flexible, high conviction, go-anywhere deep value global portfolio that is less correlated to market returns than typical active managers, has low turnover and is focused on providing consistent returns over time. The Fund’s lower correlation with major markets makes it an excellent diversifying complement to a portfolio.

Manager Commentary With positions in industries ranging from oil to railroads to watches, spanning geographies from Canada to Hong Kong to Switzerland - the unifying factor among the fund’s holdings is neither their industry nor location. The fund is characterized by the high quality of its underlying businesses, their strength of management, and the difference between the price of these companies’ shares in the public market and what the manager believes are these companies’ intrinsic values. These three traits are what the manager refers to as the “trifecta”. By looking at the world through the lens of the “trifecta” – and not limiting the selection to companies within certain sectors, geographies, or sizes – the manager deploys shareholder capital among the companies which it believes to provide the best

opportunity for outsized returns over the long run. A significant portion of the fund’s holdings remain outside of Canada, with a continued focus on emerging markets – both via direct and indirect ownership. The manager has engaged in currency hedging during the year, which had a positive effect on the fund’s returns. The fund’s recent performance is partially attributed to the flexibility under which the manager can select investments. The manager has the ability to invest the fund in various types of securities, located anywhere in the world. The manager expects that this investment approach will continue to serve shareholders well. As at September 30, 2011

The firm pursues exclusive information channels that produce proprietary research, avoiding traditional channels of information, such as Wall Street research or mainstream media. A key strength of the company is its ability to profit from both good and bad news, identifying opportunities to buy and sell gainfully. NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC manages 25% of the portfolio using their fundamental, long-term approach to global equity. The firm employs a bottom-up value approach to stock selection, actively seeking out undervalued companies with catalysts to improve profitability or unlock value.

For the 10% global small-cap component, the Fund draws upon Wellington Management, LLP.

Wintergreen Advisers, LLC manages the final 25% of the fund utilizing the highly successful opportunistic investment approach to global equity of David J. Winters. Mr. Winters uses an opportunistic style to managing equities by investing in undervalued and distressed companies that are currently out of favour with the broader market, but whose solid prospects demonstrate signs for a significant return on investment. In picking stocks for the Fund, he favours a tight portfolio of companies where senior management often acts like long-term owners of the business. Mr. Winters’ stock selection is based on the strength of his conviction, where he carefully follows companies waiting for their prices to fall to a level where he believes they are seriously undervalued. The end result is an optimal mix of Renaissance funds which will provide investors with exposure to a broad range of investment managers, asset classes and regions designed to capture the best global market opportunities.

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Peter L. Boardman | 05-01-2005 NWQ Investment Management Co LLC

Prior to joining NWQ Investment Management Company in 2003, Mr. Boardman held the position of Senior Analyst with USAA Investment Management where he was in charge of managing the Japanese portion of its International Fund as well as covering a number of global sectors such as automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors. Prior to that he spent 8 years with UBS Warburg as a sell-side analyst following the automobile, auto parts, and tire industry in North America, Japan, and Asia. Mark A. Morris | 05-01-2005 NWQ Investment Management Co LLC

Morris is a senior vice president with NWQ Investment Management, his employer since 2001. Prior to this, he was a director and portfolio manager with Merrill Lynch Investment Managers. Previously, Morris worked as a senior vice president and analyst at Trust Company of the West and as vice president and technology analyst at Hanifen Imhoff. Gregg S. Tenser | 05-01-2005 NWQ Investment Management Co LLC

Gregg S. Tenser joined NWQ as Vice President and Analyst in 2001, became Senior Vice President in 2003 and was named Managing Director in 2005. Mr. Tenser holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the bottom-up value investment expertise of NWQ Investment Management, a firm that takes a fundamental, long-term approach to global equity. Los Angeles-based NWQ employs a bottom-up value approach to stock selection, actively seeking out undervalued companies with catalysts to improve profitability or unlock value. In a market fuelled by emotion, NWQ strips away the subjectivity to search for objective value and has maintained an unwavering commitment to value investing since the firm’s founding in 1982. Discipline, collaboration and accountability remain the cornerstones of their culture. Based on three critical factors, NWQ’s investment process is disciplined, yet opportunistic. Firstly, they seek attractive valuation, applying a corporate finance perspective that

emphasizes absolute valuation in addition to cash flow and balance sheet analysis. Secondly, they seek favourable risk/reward and downside protection, as they believe the loss of capital should be limited. Lastly, but perhaps most critical, they seek inflection points, or catalysts that serve to improve profitability or unlock value before such changes become evident to other investors. The result is a globally diversified portfolio of undervalued companies with catalysts to improve profitability or unlock value. The Fund is an excellent complement to a domestic portfolio, and as a value offset for a growth-oriented portfolio.

Manager Commentary The manager continues to focus on bottom-up fundamental analysis when constructing its portfolios. Sector and regional weightings in the fund are a byproduct of the manager’s disciplined investment process. From a sector perspective, the fund retains an underweight to financials, relative its benchmark, with a focus on well-capitalized, insurance-related companies and global banking franchises. Telecommunications remains one of the largest overweighted sectors in the fund. The manager continues to remain attracted to oligopolistic, strongly franchised telecom companies in markets with limited telecom penetration. The fund also maintains an overweight to the materials and processing sector, relative to its benchmark, with a concentrated exposure to gold-related holdings.

Over the last few years, the manager has located many quality companies with strong market shares and solid balance sheets, domiciled in Japan. The fund continues to be overweight Japanese names and believe that risk/ reward profiles of these holdings remain attractive. The manager continues to focus on companies with attractive valuations, favourable risk/reward, and unrecognized catalysts which should, over time, lead to the recognition of value. The manager believes the fund is well positioned for the current market environment. As at September 30, 2011

Charles Macquaker | 05-01-2004

The Fund benefits from the conservative and patient, bottom-up growth style of Walter Scott & Partners Limited, a firm that takes a fundamental, long-term investment approach to international equities. Walter Scott invests in high-quality companies with a high return on equity, in industries enjoying aboveaverage, sustainable growth. Their buy and hold approach is focused on stock selection based almost entirely on internal research because of their focus on long-term results. Walter Scott screens more than 5000 companies with proprietary financial analysis tools and narrows the field to approximately 500 companies on

which they complete intensive analysis and their seven proprietary qualitative screens. A stock is selected only after it has received unanimous support of the investment team and typically begins with a 2% weighting in the portfolio. The portfolio’s country and sector allocation is a result of those individual stock decisions. The result is a buy and hold strategy selecting portfolio of conservative international growth stocks through an in-depth bottom-up approach. This Fund is an excellent complement to a domestic portfolio, and as a growth offset for a value-oriented portfolio.

Manager Commentary There can be no escape from unstinting question marks over numerous eurozone countries and many European banks; continued turmoil in the Middle East; and at best, slow and fragile economic growth in most major economies. These factors combine to present a picture that has been in many ways unchanged for most of this year, with the only more recent change being marked volatility in equity markets. In such uncertain and increasingly volatile circumstances, the manager remains committed and focused on its investment process, the identification of companies with the financial strength and strategic vision to grow over the medium to long term. The manager is keeping a very close eye on all of the companies in the fund to ensure that, fundamentally,

each is performing as expected. The superior quality of these companies should provide a degree of defensiveness. This has certainly been the case in the past and the manager believes that there is little merit in being whip-sawed into portfolio activity during times of heightened volatility. The manager believes the fund is aligned to companies that are 'long-term compounders', each possessing the ability to manoeuvre through these challenging times. Over the period MSC Industrial Direct was added to the fund. In addition, a number of holdings were increased, while positions in CNOOC and Industria De Diseno Textil were reduced.

The Renaissance Global Growth Currency Neutral Fund is managed by CIBC Global Asset Management Inc. Walter Scott & Partners Limited is the investment manager of the underlying fund, the Renaissance Global Growth Fund. The underlying fund benefits from the conservative and patient, bottom-up growth style of Walter Scott & Partners Limited, a firm that takes a fundamental, longterm investment approach to international equities. Walter Scott invests in high-quality companies with a high return on equity, in industries enjoying aboveaverage, sustainable growth. Their buy and hold approach is focused on stock selection based almost entirely on internal research because of their focus on long-term results. Walter Scott screens more than 5000

companies with proprietary financial analysis tools and narrows the field to approximately 500 companies on which they complete intensive analysis and their seven proprietary qualitative screens. A stock is selected only after it has received unanimous support of the investment team and typically begins with a 2% weighting in the portfolio. The portfolio’s country and sector allocation is a result of those individual stock decisions. The result is a buy and hold strategy selecting portfolio of conservative international growth stocks through an in-depth bottom-up approach. This Fund is an excellent complement to a domestic portfolio, and as a growth offset for a value-oriented portfolio.

Manager Commentary Please note that the following commentary is written in consideration of the underlying fund. There can be no escape from unstinting question marks over numerous eurozone countries and many European banks; continued turmoil in the Middle East; and at best, slow and fragile economic growth in most major economies. These factors combine to present a picture that has been in many ways unchanged for most of this year, with the only more recent change being marked volatility in equity markets. In such uncertain and increasingly volatile circumstances, the manager remains committed and focused on its investment process, the identification of companies with the financial strength and strategic vision to grow over the medium to long term. The manager is keeping a very close eye on all of the

companies in the fund to ensure that, fundamentally, each is performing as expected. The superior quality of these companies should provide a degree of defensiveness. This has certainly been the case in the past and the manager believes that there is little merit in being whip-sawed into portfolio activity during times of heightened volatility. The manager believes the fund is aligned to companies that are 'long-term compounders', each possessing the ability to manoeuvre through these challenging times. Over the period MSC Industrial Direct was added to the fund. In addition, a number of holdings were increased, while positions in CNOOC and Industria De Diseno Textil were reduced.

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Peter J. Eichler Jr. | 06-01-2009 Aletheia Research and Management, Inc.

Peter J. Eichler Jr. is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aletheia Research and Management, Inc. which he founded in 1997. Prior to this, Mr. Eichler spent twelve years at Bear, Stearns & Co. as Managing Director. While at Bear Stearns, Mr. Eichler founded the Special Accounts Money Management Division and created the Bear Stearns Insiders Fund. Mr. Eichler has been managing money professionally since 1990. Mr. Eichler is a Registered Investment Advisor and a General Securities Principal. David Bunzel | 06-01-2009 Aletheia Research and Management, Inc.

Mr. Bunzel is Senior Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager. Mr. Bunzel is a founding investor in Aletheia and had been involved with the company since its inception in 1997 before joining Aletheia as a coportfolio manager in 2008. He has known and worked with Peter J. Eichler Jr. since Mr. Bunzel started in the business in 1986. He began his career with EF Hutton Asset Management as a portfolio manager and research analyst. Mr. Bunzel managed 3 different funds for the firm, including its flagship growth fund. Mark Scalzo | 06-01-2009 Aletheia Research and Management, Inc.

Mr. Scalzo is Senior Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager. Mr. Scalzo joined Aletheia Research and Management, Inc. in 2008 after working for Ken Fisher at Fisher Investments as a Group Vice President and Head of Mergers & Acquisitions. Prior to December 2006, Mr. Scalzo was a Regional Manager / Managing Director with Putnam Lovell NBF Securities where he spent over 15 years advising public and private companies on mergers & acquisitions in the financial services and real estate industries.

Investment Management Approach The fund delivers the time-tested investment methodologies of Aletheia Research and Management Inc. Aletheia, the classic Greek word for “truth and disclosure” signifies the importance the firm places on proprietary research, which has led to their recognition as one of the top growth managers in the United States. Aletheia employs exclusive, time-tested methodologies to anticipate investor perceptions rather than reacting to them, in order to discover unusually attractive opportunities in pursuit of exceptional returns. The firm pursues exclusive information channels that produce proprietary research, avoiding traditional channels of information, such as Wall Street research or mainstream media. A key strength of the company is its ability to profit from both good and bad news, identifying opportunities to buy and sell gainfully. 1. Aletheia will invest primarily in common stocks that represent diversified industry sectors and predominantly large market capitalization. 2. The firm employs hard data – primarily insider and corporate actions – forensic analysis of balance sheets and cash flows, and non-biased industry research to

guide its investments. 3. Using a bottom-up approach, Aletheia’s research process identifies securities with significant growth in earnings and cash flow. This process also uncovers opportunities in securities that have declined significantly in price or that are misunderstood or mispriced by the market. 4. The investment team screens an initial universe consisting of all publicly traded companies, with a preference given to larger market cap. From this universe, stocks are screened by identifying companies that demonstrate aberrational insider buying by corporate officers and employees, focusing on consensus buying by insiders, absolute dollar amounts of buying by insiders, option exercise behaviour, and forward sales. The result is a diversified portfolio of large cap international growth companies seeking to deliver superior long-term performance. This fund is an excellent addition to a diversified portfolio that seeks exposure to large cap global equities.

Manager Commentary During the last several months, most of the fund’s holdings have continued to generate outstanding results – whether it is the fund’s exposure to gold companies with increasing production and rising prices, or holdings in global oil companies, or any of the dominant world-class companies in the portfolio like Adidas, Coca-Cola, Louis-Vuitton or IBM. Still, the market’s focus recently has been squarely on Europe’s sovereign debt crisis and the historic Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. This has impaired equities generally, and the manager believes mistakenly so, as it relates to individual companies. The market volatility has taken already high-quality, growing and

very cheap businesses to even lower valuations. As further illustration of the opportunities the manager believes currently exist, during one of the most volatile multi-week periods in stock market history in early August, insiders embarked on one of the biggest waves of insider buying across broad market sectors since 1998. The manager’s investment process is demonstrating that the “economies” of individual investments within the fund are actually very strong. The manager believes this is the best leading indicator of future performance. As at September 30, 2011

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Simon H. Thomas | 05-01-2003 Wellington Management Company, LLP

Simon H. Thomas is ultimately responsible for stock section in the non-North America segment of the Fund. Simon spent eight years as a Manager with Arthur Andersen (1992-2000). Simon received his MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business in 2002. Thomas is a director and equity portfolio manager of Wellington Management International Ltd. Jamie A. Rome | 05-01-2003 Wellington Management Company, LLP

Rome, senior vice president and equity portfolio manager of Wellington Management, has served as portfolio manager of the portion of the Small Cap Fund's assets allocated to Wellington Management since 2002. Mr. Rome joined Wellington Management as an investment professional in 1994 Rome holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the extensive investment expertise of Wellington Management, who leverage their global and regional research teams to deliver a bottom-up focused approach to selecting both growth and special situation small-cap companies around the world. Wellington’s global small-cap philosophy is based on their core belief that the small-cap market is inefficient. Using intensive fundamental research with a global perspective, they aim to exploit these inefficiencies. Typically, they find that their greatest value added comes at the stock and industry level, and their research and contrarian investment style can discover great small-cap companies at reasonable prices. The focus is on using the best research techniques for small-company stocks around the world. As such, Wellington takes a “localregional” approach to research and stock selection. This approach is built off of their successful North America,

Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific ex-Japan research teams, with members of those teams recommending investment ideas for the small-cap portfolio. The global industry and regional analysts are each responsible for research and buy and sell recommendations on securities within their areas of coverage. Simon Thomas, Co-Portfolio Manager, is ultimately responsible for stock selection in the nonNorth America segment of the Portfolio, and works closely with Equity Research Analyst, Dan Maguire, to understand the risk and return expectations of their recommendations and the current holdings in the Portfolio. The North America component is run by CoPortfolio Manager, Jamie Rome. The result is a diversified global portfolio of great smallcap companies purchased at a reasonable price. The Fund is an excellent complement for a globally diversified, primarily large-cap portfolio.

Manager Commentary Global small-cap equities have declined in recent months, underperforming their larger-cap global peers. Triggering a rise in risk aversion were: political uncertainty around the U.S. debt ceiling, fears of a slowdown in global economic growth, and continued concerns about sovereign debt risks in Europe. As well, Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the U.S. government’s long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+ unleashed a spike in volatility. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties, the manager continues to find a number of attractive opportunities across the broad investment universe. Fund holdings represent a diversified mixture of relatively inexpensive companies with above-average growth. The manager is

focused on companies that possess strong market positions, skilled management teams, and solid balance sheets. The manager believes these holdings are well positioned to perform across a number of different economic scenarios. At a sector level, the fund is overweight energy, consumer discretionary, and industrials, and underweight materials, and financials. At a regional level, the fund is an overweight to Europe and emerging markets through select positions in Brazil and China, and an underweight to Asia Pacific ex-Japan. As at September 30, 2011

The Renaissance European Fund equity strategy follows an investment process based on a bottom-up approach to security selection.

investment criteria that guide the process: industry growth, barriers to entry, company management and fundamental valuation.

The initial filter process narrows the universe down to between 150 and 200 securities that will exhibit high stability, strong liquidity and a proven track record.

A consensus decision for all trades leads to an incremental buying and selling process where changes to any of the four investment criteria must be validated prior to selling a position. Holdings are analyzed on an ongoing basis for risk control and adherence to style.

The fundamental analysis that follows is based on four Manager Commentary European sovereign debt is still a major cause for concern for the European financial system, which creates additional liquidity issues. At the same time, the U.S. economy is flirting with extremely anemic economic and employment numbers. The manager uses volatile periods like these to improve the risk/return profile of the fund. This is done by increasing weights in those holdings where the manager

sees the largest disconnect between operational performance and valuation. CIBC Global Asset Management took over management of the fund during the quarter. As a result, a number of the fund’s positions have changed, which also led to a change in country and sector exposures. As at September 30, 2011

This Fund benefits from the specialized experience of Hamon Investment Group, an Asian-specific investment management company, which manages the Fund with a bottom-up core approach, leveraging Hamon’s on-theground fundamental research expertise. To determine where the Fund will invest, the team at Hamon analyzes many factors including economic and political trends in Asia, the current financial condition and future prospects of individual companies and sectors in the region and the valuation of one market or company relative to another. The team at Hamon focuses on opportunities in different industries across the Asian countries. Generally, the companies in which the Fund invests are leaders in their respective industries, with strong recognition. Hamon’s focus on bottom-up stock

selection generates added value by identifying companies in their early phase of earnings acceleration and for which they have identified a catalyst. The team’s valuation methodology is governed by assessing the long-term relationship between the price-to book ratio and return on equity. They do not constrain themselves to only growth or value styles or market capitalization, as they believe no single investment style consistently outperforms in Asia. The result is a high-conviction, diversified portfolio of companies that are principally traded in the Asian Pacific region. The lower correlation of this specialty product to other developed markets makes it an excellent diversifying component within a portfolio.

Asian equity markets fell sharply over the third quarter, as concerns of slower global growth and increased risk of recession in developed markets dragged stocks down. Over the period, the manager consolidated some of the fund’s positions, trimming select U.S.-listed Chinese companies, particularly department stores and software companies, as investors lacked confidence in the entire sector. Select telecommunication stocks were also added, given the growing market penetration in Asia. Japanese stocks make up the fund’s top positions, as market visibility on domestic demand has improved

following early year disruptions. The impact of the worsening European debt crisis on the global economy still remains the biggest concern for investors; however, the manager maintains a positive view for Asian equities. Earnings growth forecasts continue to look achievable, as headwinds from the first half of the year have abated. As at September 30, 2011

The lower correlation of this specialty product to other developed markets makes it an excellent diversifying component within a portfolio.

Manager Commentary Amid concerns regarding the possible slowdown of the global economy, world equity markets have encountered heavy selling pressure as investors look to reduce risk exposure. Over the third quarter, the manager focused more on domestic cyclical stocks to weather against market headwinds, adding telecommunication and pharmaceutical stocks to the fund. The manager also continues to trim select U.S.-listed Chinese stocks, particularly software and advanced engineering names, as investors lack confidence in the entire sector. A telecom company was added and performed well during

the period. While news from the eurozone continues to weigh on investor sentiment, the Chinese economy should remain resilient given the continuing migration towards the strengthening of its domestic market. Inflation rates may have peaked during the summer months, and may moderate for the rest of the year, precipitating less monetary tightening pressure. As at September 30, 2011

Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Klaus Bockstaller | 11-01-2008 Pictet Asset Management Ltd

Klaus Bockstaller joined Pictet in 2009 following 5 years at Fleming Capital Management. Prior to joining FCM, Mr. Bockstaller was Head of Emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa since September 2000 at Baring Asset Management. He managed the Baring Emerging Europe Trust and the Baring Eastern Europe Fund. Previously he was with UBS Brinson, where he was a portfolio manager for Eastern Europe funds and focused on all emerging markets within the European time-zone. He graduated in economics from the University of Freiburg in 1993. Nidhi Mahurkar | 11-01-2008 Pictet Asset Management Ltd

Nidhi Mahurkar is Co-Head of the Global Emerging Markets Equities team in charge of investment in Asian Emerging Markets and has responsibility for regional Asian mandates. She joined Pictet Asset Management in 2001 with five years of previous experience managing Asian equities at Lazard Asset Management, where she was industry leader for technology for Lazard’s global emerging markets product. Before joining Lazard, she worked with American Express in London. Nidhi holds a BA (Hons) in Economics and an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the international investment expertise of Pictet Asset Management Limited (PAM), one of the premier asset managers in Europe, to deliver a disciplined approach to investing in the emerging equity markets. Investment Process: t PAM’s investment strategy is based primarily on a bottom-up approach with a value bias. t PAM defines value principally in terms of productive assets -- they believe that value can consistently be added by identifying and investing in companies selling at less than the replacement value of their productive assets. t Emerging markets are prone to exaggerated market cycles; market inefficiencies abound. PAM employs an active value-based methodology to identify and buy mispriced stocks. t The centre of this investment process is a

proprietary database which helps to identify these mispriced companies. t For financials and intellectual property/service companies, PAM employs a modified, value-based approach based on adjusted book value and implied growth respectively t Country and sector weights are driven by stock selection and subject only to a negative test. t This focused process and execution is backed by separate risk control overlay The result is a diversified portfolio of emerging market stocks. The low correlation of this asset class to domestic markets makes this Fund an excellent complement to an investors' portfolio seeking further diversification through exposure to emerging markets companies.

Manager Commentary The downgrading of U.S. debt by Standard & Poor’s, coupled with fears over the European banking sector and the general health of the global economy, led to a very difficult environment for “risk” assets over the period. At a global emerging sector level, the cyclical information technology, energy and industrial sectors recorded the largest falls; consumer staples and telecoms proved the most resilient. The fund underperformed the benchmark over the period. At a country allocation level, there was a negative contribution to relative performance from the overweight to Russia and underweights to South Africa and Mexico. The overweight to Peru and underweights to India and Turkey made a small positive contribution to relative returns. At a sector level, the fund’s financials holdings contributed positively to performance, while materials and consumer staples detracted.

The long-term growth and balance sheet fundamentals of emerging markets continue to compare well with developed markets. However, the near-term performance of emerging equities remains closely linked to the global appetite for risk. The manager remains committed to its investment approach of identifying cheap companies on an objective asset value basis, with positive fundamental drivers. The results of the bottom-up investment process result in country overweights to China, Indonesia, Peru and Thailand; key underweights are Chile, Mexico, South Africa, Taiwan and India. At a sector level, consumer discretionary, financials and telecoms are weighted above the index; underweight positions include materials, consumer staples and utilities. As at September 30, 2011

This Fund benefits from one of the world’s most experienced global infrastructure investment teams with more than 70 years combined expertise, Sydney-based RARE Infrastructure (Risk Adjusted Returns to Equity), whose combined quantitative and qualitative approach to this growing asset class delivers the potential for long-term consistent returns and attractive yields. RARE applies a combination of quantitative and qualitative assessments to select a concentrated portfolio of stocks from more than 40,000 global listed securities. 1. Screening Analysis: The initial screening process is a combination of automated and manual screens designed to reduce the global universe of stocks to a select Focus List. This includes, sector screens, market capitalization, financial, valuation and peer group assessments.

2. Individual Security Assessment: The Focus List is taken through research checks to ensure attributes of a security are aligned with the fund’s overall objectives. This research covers both quantitative and qualitative attributes. 3. Portfolio Construction Parameters: RARE’s portfolio construction is the result of security specific research and portfolio construction techniques that results in a balanced portfolio of attractive yielding infrastructure stocks. The result is a lower volatility portfolio of global infrastructure securities designed to provide investors with exposure to an asset class known to offer regular and predictable income. The defensive, inflation-hedged nature of this asset class, which has a lower correlation to traditional asset classes, makes it an ideal complement to any component of a portfolio.

Manager Commentary At the beginning of the quarter, the manager’s view was that the market had reached a difficult juncture with significant short-term volatility and macro-economic and political risks, which could result in a material change in the outlook. Finding a long-term resolution to the sovereign debt concerns plaguing the European periphery is a concern. Another concern is the U.S. debt ceiling. Brinkmanship aside, the outcome of the discussions surrounding the U. S. debt ceiling could set a longer-term path for U.S. austerity and tax measures, and influence the public’s view of the major parties/factions heading into the 2012 election cycle. In addition, it remains to be determined whether the current slow patch in U.S. economic data is

merely a hangover from the Japanese earthquake and consequent disruption to global supply chains, or whether the U.S. economy reaching a stall speed. The manager is concerned that the world has had a material change in economic outlook and the manager gradually brought risk into the fund over the quarter. In essence, this reduced exposure to European infrastructure and, in some cases, European utility exposure where there has been heighten regulatory risk. To execute this strategy, the manager has been investing in U.K. water, Australian utilities and infrastructure, and U.S. utilities. As at September 30, 2011

The Fund benefits from the expertise of Cohen & Steers, a leading investment manager of global real estate portfolios. Cohen & Steers employs a disciplined, valuation-driven approach that utilizes a team effort consisting of managers who are experts in their respective property sectors and countries. Collectively, they cover over 400 global companies.

valuation metrics include price-to-net asset value and multiple-to-growth ratio. The team then uses a proprietary valuation model to determine the optimal security weights to help construct the portfolio, and will take active positions against the benchmark. Risk is managed through the utilization of the valuation model to diversify the portfolio by region and property sector.

The research process involves both a top-down and bottom-up approach to build and maintain the portfolio. The top-down analysis focuses on key real estate themes that Cohen & Steers believe provide strong fundamental value creation opportunities. The top-down themes are supported with a bottom-up valuation discipline. The team analyzes specific property companies based on multiple factors, such as balance sheet, management, structure and real estate portfolio. Some of the primary

The result is a well diversified currency neutral portfolio, that is selected using a standardized, bottom-up approach to company research and valuation, along with a top-down view of the economy. With global real estate playing an increasingly important part of many pension portfolios, this Fund makes an excellent complement to a domestic portfolio and complements global infrastructure holdings.

Manager Commentary Global real estate stocks were highly volatile in the third quarter, a turbulent period for stocks broadly amid reduced global growth expectations. The quarter also saw an intensification of European sovereign debt concerns, and investors feared fiscal contagion from Greece would impact larger regional economies. Across the Asian-Pacific region, landlords outperformed developers as risk-averse investors sought companies with more stable cash flows. In the U.S., apartment real estate investment trusts (REITs) held up relatively well due to good fundamentals and low leverage, while hotel and industrial stocks had sizable declines. The manager continues to monitor macro conditions carefully, and during the quarter, increased allocations to

companies that are more able to maintain cash flows in a challenging economic environment. In the U.S., the manager added to health care holdings, while trimming allocations to the hotel and industrial sectors. The manager favours apartment REITs and high-quality regional mall owners. The manager’s focus in Europe is on more stable companies with good balance sheets, trading at the most attractive valuations. In Hong Kong and Singapore, the manager favours office and retail owners, which it believes are well positioned to benefit from solid economic growth and low unemployment. The manager has become somewhat more cautious toward Japan’s property developers. As at September 30, 2011

Renaissance Global Health Care Fund (Class A) Investment Management Overview Manager Bios Edward P. Owens | 12-01-1996 Wellington Management Company, LLP

Mr. Owens is portfolio manager for the Health Care sector and analyst for Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology sectors at Wellington Management Company, LLP. Jean M. Hynes | 12-01-1996 Wellington Management Company, LLP

Jean M. Hynes is a Senior Vice President of Wellington Management. She joined the firm in 1991 and has been an investment professional since 1993. Ms. Hynes holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

Investment Management Approach The Fund benefits from the award-winning investment expertise of Edward P. Owens of Wellington Management, who employs a research-intensive, bottom-up approach that emphasizes finding value opportunities within the health care sector. Wellington’s research-oriented approach toward the health care sector is based on the view that scientific research and development is central to the fundamental performance of pharmaceutical and medical products companies, while the fortunes of service-oriented health care companies are largely the result of management skill. Key factors for their bottom-up security analysis are

company business prospects, strong existing product and new product outlook, corporate strategy and competitive position. These factors, as well a company’s valuation relative to its peers, and the anticipation of aboveaverage earnings growth not yet reflected in the current price, influence both the buy and sell decisions. The result is a well-diversified, lower-turnover global portfolio of undervalued health care companies that operate within an industry benefiting from long-term demographic trends. This Fund is an excellent complement to a well-diversified portfolio for investors looking for specific exposure to the health care sector.

Manager Commentary Global equities fell in recent months, as fears of a slowdown in global economic growth and concerns about sovereign debt risks triggered increased risk aversion. However, global health care stocks outperformed broader market indices, as many modifications made to the Patent Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPAC) have been favourable for the industry, with President Obama’s administration adopting a more centrist policy. The manager continues to expect additional dilutions to PPAC and delays in implementation which should be positive for the sector. These benefits will be somewhat offset by increased pressure on reimbursement rates from Medicare and Medicaid, as the government seeks to reign in spending and reduce the deficit.

The fund remains fairly balanced across pharmaceuticals, health care services, medical technology, and biotechnology. The manager feels HMOs offer the greatest upside. In addition to benefiting from clarity on reform, the commercial underwriting cycle has bottomed, setting 2011 up to be a strong year. The manager also favours drug distributors and drug stores, which are poised to benefit from resurgences in pharmaceutical spending and the pending wave of generic conversions. The manager sees catalysts ahead for pharmaceutical and biotech stocks, including a rebound in cost-cutting measures, emerging markets growth, and robust product pipelines. As at September 30, 2011

Craig Porter has been a Portfolio Manager and resource specialist at Front Street since 2005. Prior to joining he was Portfolio Manager at Natcan Investment Management from 1992 to 2005. He has 17 years' investment experience and had managed Altamira mutual funds since 1992. Other Assets Managed

The Fund benefits from the investment expertise of Front Street Capital, one of the most successful resource sector investment managers in Canadian history. Front Street uses a mix of top-down industry analysis and bottom-up stock selection to structure a natural resources equity portfolio. Front Street uses a unique combination of expertise and experience to invest in global stocks within the materials and energy sectors that can be expected to outperform over the short and long-term period. Their primary focus is given to the oil and gas, paper and forest products, metals and minerals, and precious metals and minerals industries. From a top-down perspective, the team

assesses industry fundamentals such as commodity supply and demand levels to determine where the greatest opportunity lies. At the security level, the process centres on accessing the underlying value of the assets, the strength of management and the firm’s future growth prospects. The Fund may invest in small, medium and large-capitalization companies. The result is a well-diversified, higher-turnover global portfolio of resource companies that operate in a sector that should benefit from global commodity demand. The Fund is an excellent complement to a well-diversified portfolio for investors looking for specific exposure to the global resource sector.

Manager Commentary The price of West Texas oil spent most of the quarter trading between US$85 and $95 per barrel. Although there are great fears in the market of a global slowdown, the supply/demand balance for oil remains quite tight. It appears that global oil demand will reach an all-time high this year, with little ability for producing countries to bring on spare capacity. Continuing turmoil in the Middle East will likely keep oil trading at elevated levels. Gold reached an all-time high during the quarter, trading at over US$1,900 per ounce. Fears of a European Central Bank default, worries about the U.S. debt ceiling, and political unrest all conspired to drive the price higher. Fears of a slowdown in China and some of the other high-growth emerging markets hurt share prices of base metal and bulk commodity producers. China’s GDP

growth still remains near 10 percent, and there appears to be little slowing in their infrastructure build out. Inflation, however, remains a concern in this sector as the capital costs to build projects are starting to escalate again. Although share prices are not reflecting it, many companies are in quite strong shape with exceptional earnings. Commodity prices such as copper, gold and oil still remain at elevated levels helping to enhance corporate profitability. The manager expects this will lead to increased merger and acquisition activity this year and next, as cash-rich senior companies look to take over asset-rich junior companies, to fuel their future growth.

The Fund benefits from the investment expertise of Mark Lin and his team from CIBC Global Asset Management, who use a bottom-up growth approach to investing in a diversified portfolio of global scientific and technology based companies. The team seek to capture long-term capital appreciation by buying into the growth of the technology and sciencebased industries. Analysis is carried out on a bottom-up basis with a focus on identifying growth potential. The ability to generate above-average rates of growth is based on: 1) superior product features, extraordinary distribution capability; 2) a unique business model, or other sustainable competitive advantages. Typical

criteria that enter into the decision making process are the following: strong management, unique/marketable technology, access to capital, and participation in high growth areas of these sectors. This results in a well-diversified, higher turnover global portfolio of companies involved mainly in telecommunications, biotechnology, computer hardware and software, and medical services and other scientific and technology based companies. The Fund is an excellent complement to a well div portfolio for investors looking for specific exposure to the science and technology sector.

Manager Commentary The Standard & Poor’s downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt, and the concern over the potential impact of Greek sovereign debt on European financial institutions, triggered a selloff in worldwide equity markets beginning in August. In addition, economic data suggested that U. S. GDP growth has started to decelerate, increasing the chance of a recession. The information technology (IT) sector has corrected in response to investors’ concerns.

The manager’s strategy is to continue to hold companies in the highly profitable software and fast-growing Internet sectors, as well as those companies that have the ability to generate consistent profit growth.

The manager reestablished positions in Visa and MasterCard, as the proposed new regulations protecting credit card users appeared to be less onerous than expected. The manager initiated a position in Baxter International, a leading U.S. medical device company.

Dashing through

the snow

Snowshoeing, one of Canada’s oldest sports, has gotten a makeover. The snowshoes of yesteryear — heavy, clunky and surprisingly fragile — have been relegated to decoration over the fireplace, replaced by sleek, light weight, high-tech designs that look, well…fun!

renaissance investments 139


Madtrapper organizer Mike Caldwell stresses “There are about 25 percent serious runners and the rest are just here for the fun. There are usually about 12 people vying for last place! We have prizes and it’s very social, fun for the whole family.” At last year’s Yeti race, there were 250 participants, ranging from serious athletes to teams dressed in costumes, some sporting pink wigs, not to mention the big, shaggy abominable snow man himself.

Equipment — what you need If you’re a real snowshoe fanatic, planning to tackle a variety of terrain, you’ll probably have multiple pairs of snowshoes. Bouchard has a smaller pair for steeper climbing or moving at a faster pace, a large, 40” pair to spread his weight more when there’s deep snow or when he’ll be carrying a heavy backpack on overnight excursions, and an in-between size for everyday outings.

No need to hibernate this winter — the fastest growing winter sport doesn’t require abs or nerves of steel. It’s easy, low impact and available wherever there’s snow, which could be right outside your backdoor. Used as basic transportation for native people and animal trappers for centuries, snowshoeing is as Canadian as maple syrup. But after enjoying raging popularity a hundred years ago, snowshoeing was all but abandoned when a new sport called ice hockey entered the scene. Now, snowshoeing is making a comeback as the winter sport of choice among outdoor enthusiasts who want to avoid the steep learning curve for skiing and snowboarding, or the punishing cardio required for crosscountry skiing.

Something for everyone Snowshoeing can be a scenic walk in the woods, a great workout, a fun family activity or a multi-day back country adventure, says Ken Bouchard, Director of Trails for the Gatineau Outdoor Centre, north of Ottawa. “You can enjoy groomed trails at a ski resort, letting a guide teach you about local wildlife, or you can backpack to a ‘yurt’— a basic shelter for winter camping at a national park, or simply explore the public parks and ravines in your own backyard.” You want a hard workout or excitement? Head to the mountains for deep snow and steep terrain. If that kind of workout isn’t enough, there are always snowshoe races. The annual Madtrapper snowshoe race near Ottawa and the Yeti snowshoe race on Vancouver Island are two ways to mix snow and fun.

“An investment in snowshoes doesn’t cost much — around $200 — and will last you 20 years or more. The new ones are virtually indestructible. Before buying, you can decide to rent a pair for a day or weekend at a resort or trail system. Some outdoor stores will apply the rental price towards the purchase price if you decide to buy.” You can even add some ski poles for extra stability or if you want an upper body workout.

Showshoe vacations — off the beaten track You don’t need to go anywhere special to snowshoe, but you can if you want to. Take a guided snowshoe tour along the rim of spectacular Maligne Canyon in Jasper National Park. Or a moonlight trek under giant snow-covered Douglas firs on Vancouver’s Cypress Mountain where you’ll stop at a cabin for cheese fondue and hot apple cider. Watch for moose as you snowshoe the Blow Me Down Trails in Newfoundland’s picturesque Humber Valley. Or simply follow the crowds to the big resorts like Mont Tremblant or Whistler, then join a trek or explore solo the gorgeous trail systems devoted to snowshoers. For families or groups, resorts are a great way to please everyone — with downhill, cross-country and snowshoeing, there is something for every taste and skill level. “What snowshoeing offers is really freedom,” says Bouchard. “You can go at your own pace, and you don’t need to stay on the trail. And I’ve found that sometimes the best things in life are off the beaten track.”

Ken Bouchard has been trailblazing in the Gatineau Hills outside of Ottawa since he was five years old. He was Director of the Carman Trails Outdoor Centre for 12 years, where he developed a snowshoe trail system over 100 acres and continues to lead snowshoe excursions for visitors. He monitors the TransCanada Trail for the Wakefield region, is a member of Friends of the Gatineau Park Heritage Committee and the Gatineau Valley Historical Society.

Learn how to snowshoe in 15 minutes or less “Everyone can snowshoe,” says expert Ken Bouchard. Over the years, he has taught countless novices to snowshoe — even foreign visitors to Canada’s Capital who wanted a taste of Canadian culture. Dignitaries from the southern United States were treated to a snowshoe trek across the grounds at Government House. He even taught a group of diplomats from Africa to walk on snow. “The best thing is to pay no attention to what’s on your feet,” says Bouchard. He claims he can teach you the basic technique for traversing flat, uphill and downhill terrain in about 15 minutes, and you’ll be on your way.

Here are five helpful tips for your snowshoe adventure: 1. Take snacks and water and stay hydrated. 2. Wear sunscreen and sunglasses to protect you from reflections off the snow. 3. Wear layers of clothes and adjust them as you heat up. Underarm zips are helpful. 4. Wear moisture-wicking thermal underwear; not cotton, which will trap moisture next to your skin and make you cold. 5. Wear knee-high gaitors to keep snow out of your boots.
