5 GENERAL MANAGER S REPORT Dear Unit Holder, During the year, Scotia Asset Management (Jamaica) Limited (SAMJ) successfully completed the conversion of all of its Unit Trust products to a single international platform. This platform will ultimately improve the company s operational efficiencies and offer increased benefits to investors in the Unit Trust Funds. The year-end also marks the one year anniversary since the launch of the Scotia Premium Money Market Fund which through consistent and strategic advertising combined with good fund performance has increased by $1.36 Billion to $1.42 Billion. With the regulatory changes introduced in the last two years and impending changes to the Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) regulation, the Unit Trust industry experienced a number of strategic transformations during the year, which included product development as well as merger and acquisition activities. This resulted in the total number of Unit Trust Funds in the industry increasing from thirteen (13) to eighteen (18), thereby fostering the growth of the market by approximately 36%.

6 As at October 31, 2012, the Unit Trust Industry stood at J$42.98 Billion with SAMJ controlling 50% with AUM of $21.6 billion compared to $20 billion as at the end of October Accordingly, during the fiscal year, SAMJ contributed $315 million to the revenues of Scotia Investments Jamaica Limited compared to $289 million the previous year. During the year, we reviewed the trust deeds of the SPFIF and the SPGF and brought them in line with the unit trust guidelines issued by the FSC in February 2010 and international best practice. The Fund Manager successfully completed the transfer of its fund operations to a new international mutual fund platform that provides improved efficiency, reduces operational risk and will now allow us to provide more investment options to you our valued unit holders. The Fund Manager will continue to be guided by its core investment principles based on asset allocation and diversification, in order to meet the long term objectives of your funds. In closing, I would like to thank the Board of Directors for their guidance and the entire team at Scotia Asset Management (Jamaica) for their hard work over the past year and I look forward to their support as we continue to grow your funds and deliver credible investment performance. Sincerely, SCOTIA ASSET MANAGMENT (JAMAICA) LIMITED Brian Frazer GENERAL MANAGER 6 Scotia Asset Management Limited

7 ECONOMIC REVIEW Gross Domestic Product (GDP) The local economy failed to maintain the economic momentum which ensued over calendar year 2011 when real GDP advanced 1.3% to record the first year of positive growth since the recession of At the turn of calendar year 2012, real GDP growth amounted to -0.1%, -0.2% and -0.9 for the first, second and third quarters respectively.

The primary balance to GDP declined to 3.1% from the 4.5% for the previous year. This ensued from a weak showing on the revenue front with tax revenue growing at 3.6%, its lowest rate in two decades.

8 Inflation For the 12 months under review, inflation surfaced at 7.19% compared to 7.74% in the prior year. For the first 10 months, monthly inflation was stable at an average of 0.41% but spiked at the end of the period, due to the higher cost of utilities. Throughout most of the year inflation impact was driven by food and utility costs. 10.0% 7.5% Inflation 2.4% 1.9% Point-to-Point 5.0% 2.5% 0.0% 1.4% 0.9% 0.4% -0.1% Monthly Infaltion -2.5% Oct-11 Dec-11 Feb-12 Apr-12 Jun-12 Aug-12 Oct-12 Mthly Headline PTP Headline Source: STATIN, SIJL -0.6% Foreign Exchange For the period November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012, the Jamaican dollar lost 5.32% of its value to its US dollar counterpart. The Jamaican dollar closed the period at an average selling rate of J$91.09/US$1. The Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) intervened in the foreign exchange market on numerous occasions due to strong demands for the US dollar resulting in the net international reserve (NIR) declining by US$ million to reach US$1.08 billion as at the end of October This represented weeks of goods and services imports, nearing the international benchmark of 12 weeks JMD/USD 12 Month Movements Oct-11 Dec-11 Feb-12 Apr-12 Jun-12 Aug-12 Oct-12 Source: SIJL, BOJ J$/US$1 8 Scotia Asset Management Limited

Similarly, the Jamaican dollar lost 6.12% to the Canadian dollar as the exchange rate moved from J$86.48:CAD$1 at November 1, 2011 to J$91.77:CAD$1 at the end of the period. Money And Capital Markets Review Domestic Money Market The BOJ maintained its benchmark interest rate (30-day Certificate of deposit) at 6.25% throughout the year due to significant upside inflation risks induced by higher energy prices in addition to increased pressure on the local currency emanating partly from uncertainty surrounding a new IMF agreement. 7.0% 90-day T-Bill 180-day T-Bill 30-day OMO Yield (%) 6.0% 5.0% Nov-11 Jan-12 Mar-12 May-12 Jul-12 Sep-12 Source: SIJL, BOJ wever, market-determined interest rates inched higher for the one year period. The av However, market-determined interest rates inched higher for the one year period. The average yield on the 90-day Treasury bill (T-bill) tenor increased from 6.22% at start of November 2011 to 6.38% as at October Similarly, the 180-day inched higher by 42 basis points to finish the period at 6.69%. Stock Market For the financial year, the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) Main Index registered a 5.72% decline. Movement in the main index came amidst a very challenging economic environment. Notwithstanding historically low interest rates, the JSE Main Market underwent significant downward pressure due mainly to investor reticence created by the inability of the government to finalize an agreement with the IMF.

The Fund s NAV per share remains at its original issue price of $100. Accordingly, the return to investors is through the Fund s dividend yield which was 5.24% for the 12 month ended October The SPMMF adds to the suite of Unit Trust products offered by Scotia Investments Jamaica and was created to provide investors with a Cash Fund that preserves capital while offering an attractive quarterly dividend payment Volume (Millions) 10 Scotia Asset Management Limited

11 Scotia Premium Fixed Income Fund (SPFIF) The Scotia Premium Fixed Income Fund had a Net Asset Value of $18.3 Billion as at October 31, 2012, maintaining its dominance as the largest Unit Trust Fund in Jamaica. Moreover, the Fund accounted for 60% of the $33 Billion Fixed Income Unit Trust market. Fixed Income Market Share October 31, 2012 Rest of Market 40% SAMJ 60% During the year, the Fixed Income market proved challenging to generate returns that exceeded inflation as market rates registered a significant increase, as much as 200 basis points, resulting in the erosion of some of the increase in market value of the assets in the Fund. While the upward pressure on market rates was expected and the Fund Managers employed strategies to temper its effects, the return on the Fund was still impacted. Accordingly, the Fund s 12 month return and calendar year-to-date returns were 5.11% and 4.20%, respectively, whilst inflation for the corresponding periods were 6.65% and 5.27%, respectively.

12 Scotia Premium Growth Fund (SPGF) The Scotia Premium Growth Fund stood at $1.8 Billion as at October 31, 2012, representing 37% of the $5 Billion Equity-based Unit Trust market. Equity Market Share October 31, 2012 Rest of Market 63% SAMJ 37% During the period, investor confidence deteriorated amidst concerns about the state of the local economy. This led to a lack lustre performance of the local stock market and resulted in declines in all Equity-based Unit Trust Funds. While this allowed the Fund Managers to take advantage of significant under-valuations in certain stocks, the PGF registered a 12 month return of negative 8.19% and a calendar year-to-date return of negative 9.16%. These returns compare favourably to the returns of the JSE Select Index of negative 16.56% and negative 16.08%, respectively Compound Growth Rate of Return-As at October 31, % % -8.19% -6.11% 10 Yr -1.27% 5 Yr 3 Yr 1 Yr 6 Mths 6.40% 14.47% 7.83% 10.29% 13.10% -0.12% 3 Mths 0.01% JSE Select Index PGF Disclaimers: Important information about the unit trust funds are contained in the respective Fund s Offering Circular.
