13 Endowment Fund Results: Relative to major asset class indices (for the 12 Months Ended March 31 st, 2012) Results relative to major asset class indices # : Canadian equity outperformed the S&P/TSX by 3.0%. The fund s value style bias paid off over the course of the unusually volatile year. JF and Sionna both outperformed the benchmark by 2.5% and 4.6% respectively. Most of the value add stemmed from the underweight in materials and overweight in consumer staples sectors (7.4% vs 22.5% and 7.8% vs 2.6% respectively). International equities posted positive returns 0.7% versus - 2.7% for the MSCI EAFE index (CAD$). Tweedy Browne returned 6.9% and LSV underperformed the index over the period returning -3.7%. US equity returned 7.9% versus 11.5% for the S&P 500 (CAD$) index. Much of this detracted value was due to the participation in the US mid-cap and small cap sectors. These sectors underperformed the broader US equity market, however the two mandates with Wedge capital outperformed their respective benchmarks. Midcap by 1.4 % and Small cap by 2.8%. Canadian fixed income also outperformed for the 12 month period: 10.0% versus 9.7% for the Dex Bond Universe. The bond market posted positive returns over the period driven by increasing confidence in the U.S. recovery and a stabilization in Eurozone markets. There was a slight rise in government bond yields while corporate bond yields declined reflecting strong investor demand. The main contributor to performance was the significant overweight in corporate bonds. Security selection was also a positive contributor. 13
