RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The net asset value of the Fund increased by $144.6 million to $4,975.8 million from March 31, 217 to September 3, 217. The Fund had net sales of $82. million during. The portfolio s performance increased assets by $65.2 million. The Fund paid distributions totalling $2.6 million. Class A shares returned.9% after fees and expenses for the six-month period ended September 3, 217. Over the same time period, the Fund s benchmark returned 2.%. The benchmark is the S&P/TSX Composite Return Index. its high cash position. Its overweight to information technology and holdings in materials made positive contributions to relative performance. The portfolio remained underweight in financials and somewhat underweight in energy. The cash level rose to more than 16% from less than 12% six months earlier. One-half of the Fund s assets were in Canada and 44% in the United States, little changed from the previous period. The U.S. exposure detracted from relative performance due to weakness in the U.S. dollar. The performance of the Fund s other Classes is substantially similar to that of Class A shares, except for differences in fees and expenses structure. For the returns of the Fund s other Classes, please refer to the Past performance section. Canadian equities produced a slight gain during, as a strong September overcame weakness earlier in. While the market s overall performance was muted, several sectors consumer discretionary, industrials and technology posted strong. These returns were largely offset by the heavily weighted energy sector, which held back performance. Equities in the United States and abroad outperformed those in Canada, although the strengthening Canadian dollar cut into local currency returns. Underlying economic data continued to improve around the world, reinforcing the notion that a synchronized global economic expansion is underway for the first time in years. The yield on the benchmark 1-year Government of Canada bond rose to above 2%, from a low of 1.4% in early June. The increase in interest rates came as the Bank of Canada shifted from its low-rate policy stance and raised interest rates twice during the summer as the economy accelerated. This in turn propelled the Canadian dollar to above US$.8, after spending much of the year in the mid-7-cent range. Among individual securities, Tourmaline Oil Corp., Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. and Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. were the largest holdings at the end of. Palo Alto Networks Inc. and Franco Nevada Corp. made the largest contributions to relative performance, while Fluor Corp. and Tourmaline Oil Corp. were the biggest detractors. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS As we head into the final quarter of 217, the portfolio remains conservatively positioned. Although the economic backdrop has been improving, we remain cognizant that this is the latter stage of the economic cycle and valuations have expanded accordingly. As central banks around the world continue to normalize their respective interest rate policies after years of near-zero interest rates, the risk of a policy error is a concern. The Fed has been raising rates gradually, with at least one more hike before the end of the year. We will continue to follow a disciplined investment process with the objective to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns to clients over the long term. Effective April 3, 217, William Harding ceased to be a member of the Independent Review Committee. The U.S. bond market was relatively quiet as the 1-year Treasury issue ended with a yield of approximately 2.3%. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) has maintained a slow and steady approach to normalizing interest rates. After raising rates in March and June, it held fast in the face of persistently low inflation, even as the labour market sustained its positive momentum. The Fund underperformed the benchmark due in part to its overweight exposure to the consumer staples sector and its industrials holdings, as well as RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Manager, Portfolio Advisor and Registrar CI Investments Inc. is the Manager, Portfolio Advisor and Registrar of the Fund.

22 Report of Fund Performance for ended September 3, 217 (1) This information is derived from the Fund s semi-annual and annual financial statements. (2) is calculated based on expenses charged to the Fund commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets for, including the Fund s proportionate share of any underlying fund(s) expenses, if applicable. The Effective HST tax rate is calculated using the attribution percentage for each province based on shareholder residency and can be different from 13%. (3) The trading represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets during, including the Fund s proportionate share of such expenses of any underlying fund(s), if applicable. (4) The Fund s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund s portfolio advisor manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 1% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of the fiscal period. The higher a Fund s portfolio turnover rate in a period, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in, and the greater the chance of an investor receiving taxable capital in. There is not necessarily a relationship between a higher turnover rate and the performance of a Fund. Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of the cost of purchases and the proceeds of sales of portfolio securities for, and excluding cash and short-term investments maturing in less than one year, and before assets acquired from a merger, if applicable, by the average of the monthly fair value of investments during. (5) This information is provided for ended September 3, 217 and the years ended March 31. (6) For financial periods beginning on or after April 1, 213 the financial highlights are derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS allows net assets to be calculated based on the last traded market price for financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the day s bid-ask spread. There are no differences between the net assets calculated for purpose of processing shareholders transactions and the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares used for financial statement reporting purposes. For financial years before April 1, 213, the financial highlights are derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP net assets for financial statement purposes were calculated based on bid/ask price while for purpose of processing shareholder transactions net assets were calculated based on the closing market price.
