Identify a specific fund using its fund code when you select or change funds. 2 Asset class The types of investments (such as Canadian Equity, International Equity, Fixed Income) that account for the majority of the fund s holdings. Funds are colour-coded by asset class. Please note: Funds classified as Balanced hold similar portions of equity and fixed income investments. 3 Volatility meter The volatility meter is a scale ranging from low to high that illustrates the amount that a fund's value is likely to fluctuate. Fund volatility is based on the standard deviation of monthly returns over a three-year period. Funds in operation for less than three years are rated using the longest time period available. For a fund and underlying fund where return history is less than one year, no volatility rating will appear. The current volatility meter uses a 25-point volatility scale. 4 The pie chart shows the types of investments in the underlying fund and the percentage of the overall portfolio they represent. 5 Top holdings The individual investments in the underlying fund that comprise the largest percentage of the overall portfolio. This is determined using the percentage weighting of the fund s net market value. 6 Fund managers use a number of approaches to determine the asset allocation of a fund and to select the individual securities it will hold. These are the most common approaches: Fundamental Bottom-up This approach considers the investment merits of individual companies. The sector allocation of a fund managed in this way will be determined by the individual stocks held in the fund. Quantitative This technique applies complex mathematical research and statistical models along with measurement and research to identify attractive investments. Index An indexed portfolio is constructed to mimic the performance of a specific market index. This approach is also known as passive investing. Multi-manager A multi-manager fund is directed by more than one investment manager and often combines different investment styles or asset classes. 7 This chart displays the primary equity investment style (such as value or growth) the fund manager uses to select securities as well as the market capitalization of securities in the fund. Market capitalization is a term used to define the total market value of a particular company s outstanding shares. In the context of an investment fund, this term refers to the size of the companies whose stocks are held in the fund. This term only applies to funds with equity or stock holdings. 12

13 8 Fixed Income Style This chart shows the different approaches a manager uses to select fixed income holdings within the portfolio. 9 Underlying fund Market-based investment options available to group plans are usually fund-on-fund investments which invest in existing pooled funds or mutual funds. These are known as the underlying funds. When a contribution is made to a fund, it s used to purchase units of the corresponding underlying fund. For example, contributions to the Trimark Income Growth Fund purchase units of the Trimark Income Growth Fund. Each fund may hold a small cash component, and the underlying fund may do the same. A fund-onfund strategy seeks to produce similar returns to the underlying fund within the fund. 10 Objective The fund s primary investment goal(s) as determined by the fund manager. 11 Managed by This names the investment management firm who oversees the fund. 12 Fund managers The name of the lead fund manager(s) accountable for investment decisions in the underlying fund.

Returns shown here represent results for the fund and/or its underlying fund. 16 Year by year returns This shows the one-year return of the fund during each year illustrated in the accompanying graph. 17 This graph shows how a $10,000 investment in the fund changed in value over a specified period, and the value of that investment at the end of the period. It also compares the value of that investment with the value of the same investment in a related, broadly-based index. 18 Annual compound returns Returns for a specified period expressed as an annualized rate. 19 The first full month the fund was available to Group Retirement Solutions plans. 20 The benchmark whose performance the fund manager expects to meet or exceed over the long term. Investments held in this benchmark are indicative of the investments held in the fund. 13 Inception The the underlying fund was first available for purchase. 14 Total assets The total market value of all assets invested in the underlying fund on a specific. 15 The performance of the fund over a specified period.

20 Guaranteed Interest Accounts and Money Market Guaranteed Interest Accounts (GIAs) Similar to Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) offered by banks and trust companies, these accounts guarantee an interest rate from the of contribution until maturity. At maturity, original investments and interest earned will reinvest for the same term unless you provide with different instructions. When contributions are invested in these accounts, they earn the current interest rate at the time of the deposit. That interest is credited to the account monthly and is compounded annually. Each contribution made to a GIA accumulates for the term selected at the guaranteed rate in effect on the s head office receives the contribution. The GIA operates on a compound interest basis which means the guaranteed interest rate applies to both principal and accumulated interest. offers GIAs for these terms: daily interest, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 4-year, 5-year and 10-year. Money Market Funds Money Market funds invest in high-quality, short-term fixed income securities. By investing in fixed income securities, these funds are essentially making a short-term loan to a government or corporation and earning interest on its principal. Money Market funds are typically managed to maintain liquidity, protect the initial investment and provide a moderate level of income. These funds are ideal for investors who want to preserve capital, who are saving for the short term or who want to maintain a cash reserve and are comfortable only with the very lowest levels of volatility.

21 VOLATILITY METER GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNTS Code 1000 Daily Interest Accounts Volatility and risk This account is backed by the general assets of Financial. It has the lowest risk and lowest volatility, but earns the lowest rate of interest over the long term. Consider this account as a short-term holding account while you decide on your long-term investment strategy. Once you have determined your investment strategy, you can transfer your funds at any time. HOW THE DAILY INTEREST ACCOUNT WORKS Similar to a daily interest account at a bank or trust company, this account earns interest daily at the current rate for that account. While always guarantees the principal and interest, the interest rate may change at any time. Contributions begin earning interest when received by Financial's head office. As Financial receives contributions, those funds begin to earn interest at a rate similar to a bank savings account. HOW THE DAILY INTEREST ACCOUNT IS PROTECTED Financial is a member of Assuris. With Assuris, consumers may be entitled to protection against the loss of their savings and retirement incomes if a member financial institution becomes insolvent. You can call Assuris at for details about maximum coverage guarantees. VOLATILITY METER GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNTS Codes 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1010 Guaranteed Interest Accounts Volatility and risk These accounts offer good returns and excellent investment security. Consider these accounts if you are an investor who needs guaranteed security for your investment and can commit to investments for a fixed period of time. There is no volatility associated with the return in this account and there is minimal risk as this is a guaranteed investment backed by the general assets of Financial. WHAT THESE ACCOUNTS OFFER Guaranteed returns when held to maturity Principal and interest backed by the assets of Financial Choice of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10-year terms Investment codes respectively (1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1010) HOW THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT IS PROTECTED Financial is a member of Assuris.

By investing in bonds, the fund earns a specified amount of interest based on the coupon rate (interest rate) on the bonds. These funds are exposed to risks relating to the issuers ability to repay the debt at maturity plus changes in interest rates. Fixed Income funds are appropriate for investors who have less tolerance for volatility and would like to emphasize preservation of capital.
