2 Disclaimer Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compound total returns net of fees (except for figures of one year or less, which are simple total returns) including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Certain statements in this document are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements ( FLS ) are statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as may, will, should, could, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, believe, or estimate, or other similar expressions. Statements that look forward in time or include anything other than historical information are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results, actions or events could differ materially from those set forth in the FLS. FLS are not guarantees of future performance and are by their nature based on numerous assumptions. Although the FLS contained herein are based upon what Sentry Investments and the portfolio manager believe to be reasonable assumptions, neither Sentry Investments nor the portfolio manager can assure that actual results will be consistent with these FLS. The reader is cautioned to consider the FLS carefully and not to place undue reliance on FLS. Unless required by applicable law, it is not undertaken, and specifically disclaimed that there is any intention or obligation to update or revise FLS, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The risk meter on the individual fund performance slides is based on the methodology recommended by the Fund Risk Classification Task Force of the Investment Funds Institute of Canada. The Task Force recommends that a risk assessment should be considered relative to the historical volatility risk as measured by the standard deviation of performance for the fund and its benchmark. The Task Force also acknowledges that other types of measurable and non-measurable risk may exist. The Task Force reminds investors that historical performance may not be indicative of future returns and a fund s historical volatility may not be indicative of future volatility.

5 When you invest, you have to invest to a view of the future. Our view Inflation is not an issue; debt repayment and slow growth in Europe and the US are deflationary. This means: Get used to low interest rates. Make sure the borrower is capable of repaying the loan. Risk must be priced appropriately. Central bank tightening in the G8 is not a 2012 story. US Federal Reserve has said low rates will be in place until at least This will be the first business cycle where economic growth in emerging markets drives developed market growth. Slow growth is our most likely outcome; this is not likely to be a vibrant business cycle. Debt: income levels at both household and government levels need to be fixed.

6 Economic forecasting Both the economy and markets are more volatile than forecasts; risk management has to be anticipatory. The best economic forecasts come from the slope of the yield curve: do not fight the Fed. After every recovery it is normal for growth to slow.

18 Equity income: More cash in your pocket, more power to your capital Equity income offers tax-efficient distributions through a combination of dividends, capital gains and return of capital. Equity income offers the potential for long-term capital appreciation. Dividend-paying companies are generally healthy and profitable. We apply a bottom-up process to identify the best dividend-growing firms. We diligently assess their balance sheets. We determine their stamina to withstand cyclical recessions. We aim at conservative, realistic income and growth targets with reduced risk. Finding the sweet spot between risk and return 18
19 Fixed income: The sweet spot between risk and return Any lenders worth their salt need to focus on three key things: Risk: whether the borrower can repay Time: how long it will take to recoup capital Price: the effect of inflation on returns We start with a big-picture look at the overall climate. Then we go top-down, determining overall credit exposures, sector weightings, yield curves and duration positioning. We zoom in on market positioning, free cash flow, liquidity coverage and covenant protection. Bonds are a global asset class. We are not restricted to the narrow Canadian market.
