2 INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the Period Ended September 30, Management Discussion of Fund Performance November 14, This Management Discussion of Fund Performance presents the portfolio management team s view on the significant factors and developments during the period ended September 30,, that have affected the Fund s performance and outlook. If the Fund was established during the period, period represents the period from inception to the end of the fiscal period. For information on the Fund s longer-term performance, as applicable, please refer to the Past Performance section of the report. In this report, Mackenzie refers to Mackenzie Financial Corporation, the manager of the Fund. In addition, net asset value ( NAV ) refers to the value of the Fund as calculated for transaction purposes, on which the discussion of Fund performance is based. Results of Operations Investment Performance The performance of the Fund s Series A and Quadrus Series securities is discussed below. The performance of all series is shown in the Past Performance section of the report. Where series returns differ, it is primarily because different levels of fees and expenses were charged to each series, or because securities of a series were not issued and outstanding for the entire reporting period. Please refer to the Fund Formation and Series Information section of this report for the varying management and administration fees payable by each series. During the period, the Fund s Series A securities returned 7.1%, and Quadrus Series securities returned 7.2% (after deducting fees and expenses paid by the series). This compares with a return of 2.3% for the Fund s broad-based index, the MSCI World (Net) Index, and a return of 5.2% for the Fund s narrow index, the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index. All index and series returns are calculated on a total return basis in Canadian dollar terms. Investors cannot invest in the index without incurring fees, expenses and commissions, which are not reflected in the index returns. Global economic growth was positive over the period as a range of indicators suggested that expansion is under way in most developed nations. Despite geopolitical tensions with respect to North Korea, global equity markets rose in response to increasing corporate earnings. Given improved growth and lower deflation risks, the European Central Bank hinted that it may tighten its accommodative monetary policy by further reducing asset purchases. Within the MSCI World (Net) Index, Austria, Denmark and Norway were the strongest performers in Canadian dollar terms, while Israel and Australia were the only countries with negative returns. From a sector perspective, information technology, materials and industrials were the strongest performers, while telecommunication services, consumer staples and energy were the weakest. The price of gold bullion was volatile over the period, ending slightly lower as positive economic data in the United States increased the likelihood of additional federal funds rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Higher interest rates could strengthen the U.S. dollar, making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies. A higher yield on U.S. Treasury bonds has also historically made gold a less attractive asset because it offers no yield. However, ongoing geopolitical challenges on the Korean peninsula provided some support for gold prices. The Fund underperformed both the broad-based index and the narrow index primarily because of stock selection in the gold subsector. Given the Fund s mandate, the return of the narrow index is a more meaningful comparison. Relative to the narrow index, stock selection in the United Kingdom detracted from performance. Overweight exposure to the precious metals and minerals sub-industry and an overweight position in Australia contributed to performance. The Fund s foreign currency exposure was unhedged, which did not have a material effect on absolute performance. During the year, the Fund employed an option strategy that included gold futures, as well as gold exchange-traded funds and select securities, as the underlying investments. The option strategy detracted from performance. Over the period, portfolio activity and market effect resulted in a higher cash position and in the elimination of the Fund s exposure to fixed income. Exposure to precious metals and minerals stocks increased, while exposure to gold and silver decreased. On a country basis, exposure to Zambia, Australia and Jersey increased the most, while exposure to Canada, the United Kingdom and South Africa declined. Changes to the portfolio included the elimination of the position in Integra Gold Corp. Net Assets The Fund s NAV declined by 8.8% to $293.5 million at September 30,, from $321.7 million at March 31,. This change was composed primarily of $20.9 million in net losses (after including dividend and interest income) from investment performance, after deducting fees and expenses, $9.6 million in net redemptions, and $2.4 million in reinvested distributions. See Other Related Party Transactions for the percentage of the Fund s NAV owned by Mackenzie and affiliates of Mackenzie. As a result of these investments, the Fund is subject to large transaction risk as discussed in the Prospectus. Mackenzie manages this risk to reduce the possibility of any adverse effect on the Fund or on its investors, through such processes as requiring advance notice of large redemptions. At September 30,, Mackenzie had received no such notices. Fees and Expenses The annualized management expense ratio ( MER ) for Series A of 2.52% during the period ended September 30,, was slightly higher than the MER of 2.51% for the year ended March 31,. The annualized MER for Quadrus Series of 2.71% during the period ended September 30,, was unchanged from the MER for the year ended March 31,. The MERs (before and after waivers or absorptions, if any) for each series are presented in the Financial Highlights section of this report. The MER for Series FB decreased due to a decrease in fund costs. Recent Developments Inflation is stable to rising in the United States and, at the same time, the rise in nominal bond yields has accelerated. Overall, real yields (nominal interest rates minus inflation) have remained modestly positive. The portfolio management team expects that central banks will continue to attempt to keep real rates near zero to foster economic expansion. In this environment, the price of gold is typically subdued.

3 INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the Period Ended September 30, Related Party Transactions The following arrangements result in fees paid by the Fund to Mackenzie or to companies affiliated with the Fund. Management and Administration Services For each applicable series, the Fund paid management fees and administration fees to Mackenzie at the annual rates specified under Fund Formation and Series Information in this report and as more fully described in the Prospectus. In return for the administration fees, Mackenzie pays all costs and expenses (other than certain specified fund costs) required to operate the Fund that are not otherwise included in management fees. See also Management Fees. Past Performance The following bar charts present the performance of each series of the Fund for each of the fiscal periods shown. The charts show, in percentage terms, how much an investment made on the first day of each fiscal period, or on the series inception or reinstatement date, as applicable, would have increased or decreased by the last day of the fiscal period presented. Series inception or reinstatement dates can be found under Fund Formation and Series Information. Other Related Party Transactions Mackenzie is wholly owned by IGM Financial Inc. ( IGM ). IGM is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corp., which in turn is a subsidiary of Power Corp. of Canada. Companies related to Power Financial Corp. are therefore considered affiliates of Mackenzie. At September 30,, the Fund held the following investment(s) in companies affiliated with Mackenzie: $2.1 million invested in securities issued by Umicore SA. The investment(s) represented 0.7% of the Fund s NAV. In making these investments, Mackenzie relied on the approval of the Mackenzie Funds Independent Review Committee. The Independent Review Committee issued the approval on the basis that the investments would be made in compliance with Mackenzie s policies. Mackenzie s policies are designed to ensure that the related party transaction (i) is made free from any influence by an entity related to Mackenzie and without taking into account any considerations relevant to an entity related to Mackenzie; (ii) represents the business judgment of Mackenzie, uninfluenced by considerations other than the best interests of the Fund; and (iii) achieves a fair and reasonable result for the Fund. Series S securities are issued on a prospectus-exempt basis to London Life Insurance Company, The Great-West Life Assurance Company and The Canada Life Assurance Company (collectively, the Related Insurance Companies ), all of which are companies affiliated with Mackenzie. At September 30,, the Related Insurance Companies owned 46.5% of the Fund s NAV. All related party transactions are based on the NAV per security on each transaction day. At September 30,, Mackenzie had an investment of $17,940 in the Fund (less than 0.1% of the Fund s NAV).

Information for the fiscal periods ended after March 31,, is derived from the Fund s unaudited interim financial report and audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ). Information for any previous fiscal periods is derived from the Fund s audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as defined in Part V of the Chartered Professional Accountants Handbook ( Canadian GAAP ). The net assets per security presented in the financial statements may differ from the net asset value per security calculated for fund pricing purposes. An explanation of these differences can be found in the Notes to Financial Statements. (2) Net assets and distributions are based on the actual number of securities outstanding at the relevant time. The increase/decrease from operations is based on the weighted average number of securities outstanding over the fiscal period. (3) Distributions were paid in cash/reinvested in additional securities of the Fund, or both. (4) Effective April 1,, commissions and other portfolio transaction costs are included in total expenses. For any previous fiscal periods, these costs were reported within realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the purposes of these tables.

(2) The net asset value figures presented in this table are used for fund pricing and calculating returns by series. For any fiscal periods prior to the adoption of IFRS, the net asset values may differ from the figures in the annual financial statements, and the net asset value per security in this table may differ from the end of period figure in the Fund s Net Assets per Security table in this section. This difference is due to the requirements of Canadian GAAP. The adoption of IFRS for the fiscal periods ended after March 31,, has eliminated the difference between the net asset value and net assets per security, in most cases. (3) Management expense ratio is based on total expenses (excluding commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period. If in the period a series was established or reinstated, the management expense ratio is annualized from the date of inception or reinstatement. Mackenzie and Quadrus may waive or absorb operating expenses at their discretion and stop waiving or absorbing such expenses at any time without notice. (4) The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period. (5) The Fund s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund s portfolio advisor manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of the period. The higher a fund s portfolio turnover rate in a period, the greater the trading costs payable by the fund in the period, and the greater the chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high turnover rate and the performance of a fund. The portfolio turnover rate is not provided when the Fund is less than one year old. The value of any trades to realign the Fund s portfolio after a fund merger, if any, is excluded from the portfolio turnover rate.

14 INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the Period Ended September 30, Management Fees The management fee for each applicable series is calculated and accrued daily as a percentage of its NAV. The Fund s management fees were used by Mackenzie to pay for the costs of managing the investment portfolio, providing investment analysis and recommendations, making investment decisions, making brokerage arrangements for the purchase and sale of the investment portfolio, and providing other services. Mackenzie also used the management fees to fund sales commissions, trailing commissions and any other compensation (collectively distribution-related payments ) to registered dealers and brokers whose clients invest in the Fund. Quadrus Investment Services Ltd. ( Quadrus ), an affiliate of Mackenzie, is the principal distributor for the Quadrus series securities of the Fund (as listed in the Fund Formation and Series Information) and receives a portion of the management fees that the Fund pays to Mackenzie. Under this arrangement, Quadrus was entitled to approximately 79% of the total management fees that Mackenzie received from the Quadrus Group of Funds during the period. As the principal distributor of the Quadrus series securities of the Fund, Quadrus is responsible for paying certain administrative costs and all distribution-related payments to registered dealers whose clients invest in those securities of the Fund. The following dealers affiliated with Mackenzie may be entitled to distribution-related payments from Mackenzie on the same basis as unrelated registered brokers and dealers: IPC Securities Corporation, Investors Group Securities Inc., IPC Investment Corporation and Investors Group Financial Services Inc. Mackenzie used approximately 44% of the total management fee revenues received from all Mackenzie funds during the period to fund distributionrelated payments to registered dealers and brokers. In comparison, such distribution-related payments for the Fund represented on average 38% of the management fees paid by all applicable series of the Fund during the period. The actual percentage for each series may be higher or lower than the average depending on the level of trailing commissions and sales commissions paid for that series.
