3 3 What is Meritage? Launched in 2006, Meritage Portfolios offer an objectively managed solution featuring mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

This structure gives us the agility and independence required to operate in the complex world of investing. Diligent To create Meritage Portfolios, we use a three-stage selection process to identify the best mutual funds and ETFs on the market for each asset class. Next, an in-depth analysis allows us to determine which funds are complementary in order to create optimal solutions. Proactive In a context where financial markets evolve constantly, a continuous monitoring of all the funds and ETFs that make up Meritage Portfolios is essential. This disciplined approach allows us to be prepared for any eventuality, such as a portfolio manager change.

6 6 A solution for your investor profile Meritage Portfolios provide a wide range of solutions, based on various criteria and suited for all types of investors. Regardless of your objectives, investment horizon and risk tolerance, there is a Meritage Portfolio that is right for you. Expected return Fixed income Canadian equities Global equities Canadian, global, international or American equities Growth Equity Pure Equity Efficient Frontier Balanced Moderate Conservative Pure Fixed income Volatility
7 7 Asset allocation Numerous studies have shown the importance of asset allocation. 30 years ago, research conducted by Brinson, Hood and Beebower 1 showed that asset allocation is the primary determinant of a portfolio s return variability, explaining nearly 90% of its return. This is why, when constructing Meritage Portfolios, we pay particular attention to balancing risk and optimal return of investments, in accordance with economic and financial forecasts. Once a fund has been selected and its weighting within a Meritage Portfolio determined, NBI will continue to monitor the Portfolio closely to make sure that the underlying funds and ETFs meet our selection criteria and that they are fulfilling their purpose within the Portfolios. 1 Gary P. Brinson, L. Randolph Hood and Gilbert L. Beebower, Determinants of Portfolio Performance, The Financial Analysts Journal, July/August Optimal diversification Meritage Portfolios offer optimal exposure and diversifi cation by asset class, geographic region and sector, market capitalization and management style, all within an integrated fund-of-funds or fund-of-etfs structure. Bonds (Canadian, real return, high yield) Equities (Canadian and foreign) Emerging markets Asset classes Market capitalizations Small Mid Large Value and deep value Blend Growth and GARP (growth at reasonable price) Bottom-up Top-down Multiple fi xed income strategies Management styles Styles de gestion Regions/sectors Régions / Secteurs Optimal geographic and sector coverage No restrictions
8 8 Two types of Meritage Portfolios 1. MERITAGE STRATEGIC PORTFOLIOS A combination of optimal asset allocation and renowned portfolio managers within a diverse range of solutions. Meritage Strategic Portfolios include our Equity, Investment, Income and Global Portfolios. Value added An optimal blend of actively managed funds. Automatic rebalancing Meritage Portfolios are automatically rebalanced to meet their target asset allocation and prevent overexposure in any specific asset class. If the market value of a fund deviates more than 2.5% from its target allocation or an asset class varies by more than 5%, we will rebalance the Portfolio. Currency management Portfolio managers manage the currency exposure strategy. Construction of Meritage Strategic Portfolios First, the objective of the Portfolio and the optimization factors are determined. Subsequently, NBI establishes potential range of returns, volatility and correlation for main asset classes through consultation with our investment experts. With the investment objectives and quantitative parameters well established, we carry out optimization to maximize the risk/return ratio. Once the optimal asset allocation is determined, we verify the results obtained in comparison to the expected returns and risk parameters of the underlying funds selected for the Portfolio. Optimization is completed again each year to ensure that the Portfolio s asset allocation remains optimal. Governance process ANNUAL Optimization and review of positioning based on current market conditions and competition Target asset allocation update Qualitative analysis of underlying funds Management expense ratios (MERs) and fi xed distribution target QUARTERLY Review of underlying funds with regards to performance, risk metrics and performance attribution Review and adjustments to underlying funds MONTHLY Review of performance and risk metrics of Meritage Portfolios Manager selection and portfolio construction Value added monitoring AD HOC Analysis following a major event on an underlying fund Portfolio manager departure Optimization following addition or reorganization
9 9 2. MERITAGE TACTICAL ETF PORTFOLIOS Markets are constantly evolving. There are times when they create opportunities either to reduce risk or to earn potentially higher returns. In such cases, it is useful to tactically deviate from the initially targeted asset allocation. Value added An optimal blend of some of the best low-cost ETFs on the market and tactically managed asset allocation based on market conditions. Tactical asset allocation Meritage Tactical ETF Portfolios undergo a review process during which the asset allocation and choice of underlying ETFs are subject to periodic adjustments in order to reflect market conditions. Our investment experts determine the target asset allocation of Meritage Tactical ETF Portfolios. Construction of Meritage Tactical ETF Portfolios The tactical biases that we want to leverage are determined quarterly. To adapt to the evolution of financial markets, certain deviations can be implemented by overweighting or underweighting the ETFs currently found in the Portfolios. These deviations seek to create added value for the Portfolios while helping mitigate short-term volatility. Performance attribution is carried out each month to ensure optimal risk management. Currency management NBI manages the currency exposure strategy. Governance process ANNUAL Optimization and review of positioning based on current market conditions and competition Target asset allocation update Management expense ratios (MERs) and fi xed distribution target QUARTERLY MONTHLY Review of underlying ETFs with regards to performance, risk metrics and performance attribution Review of performance and risk metrics of Meritage Portfolios Review and adjustments to underlying ETFs based on the list produced by National Bank Financial s ETF research team Tactical asset allocation and currency exposure adjustments Tactical asset allocation and portfolio construction Value added monitoring AD HOC Analysis following a major event on an underlying ETF ETF listing or delisting Optimization following an addition or reorganization
