FUND FACTS May 14, 2018 NBI Floating Rate Income Fund This document contains key information you should know about the NBI Floating Rate Income Fund. You can find more detailed information in the fund s simplified prospectus. Ask your representative for a copy, contact the manager, National Bank Investments Inc. ("NBI"), at 1-888-270-3941 or send an email to investments@nbc.ca or visit our website at www.nbc.ca/investments. Before you invest in any fund, consider how the fund would work with your other investments and your tolerance for risk. Quick facts Fund code: NBC223 Date series started: January 24, 2014 Total value of fund on March 31, 2018: $330.7 million Management expense ratio (MER): 1.49% Fund manager: Portfolio manager: Portfolio sub-advisor: Distribution: Minimum investment: National Bank Investments Inc. ("NBI") National Bank Trust Inc. Fiera Capital Corporation Net income, end of each month, may include a significant return of capital component (automatically reinvested in additional securities, unless the investor chooses differently). Net income not distributed and capital gains, special distribution in December (must be reinvested). $500 (initial), $50 (additional), $25 (systematic) What does the fund invest in? The fund s investment objective is to generate interest income while minimizing the effects of interest-rate fluctuations. The fund invests directly, or through investments in securities of other mutual funds, in a portfolio composed mainly of fixed-rate Canadian bonds (either corporate, governmental or municipal) and/or preferred shares issued by North-American companies and enters into derivatives transactions to generate a floating rate of income. Floating-rate income can therefore be obtained by swapping, through the use of derivatives, the rate of a fixed-income security for the short-term floating rate in effect at the time of the swap less the fees payable to the counterparty in relation to the derivative transactions. The short-term floating rate used will correspond, depending on the securities covered, to the 3-month Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (CDOR) or the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The derivatives will be entered into with counterparties having a designated rating. It is expected that investments in foreign securities will not exceed approximately 40% of the fund's assets. The charts below give you a snapshot of the fund s investments on March 31, 2018. The fund s investments will change over time. Top 10 Investments (as at March 31, 2018) 1. Cash, Money Market and Other Net Assets 16.7% 2. Bell Canada, 3.15%, due September 29, 2021 3.1% 3. Bank of America Corp., Floating, due October 23, 2024 2.7% 4. Toronto-Dominion Bank, Floating, due June 24, 2020 2.2% 5. Bank of Montreal, Floating, due June 1st, 2021 1.7% 6. Bank of Montreal, 2.27%, due July 11, 2022 1.6% 7. Leisureworld Senior Care LP, 3.47%, due February 3, 2021 1.6% 8. Laurentian Bank of Canada, 2.81%, due June 13, 2019 1.5% 9. Great-West Lifeco Delaware Finance LP, Floating, due June 26, 2018 1.5% 10. HSBC Bank Canada, 2.91%, due September 29, 2021 1.5% Total percentage of top 10 investments: 34.1 % Total number of investments: 313 Investment Mix (as at March 31, 2018) Asset Allocation Corporate Bonds 64.6% Preferred Shares 19.7% Cash, Money Market and Other Net Assets 16.1% US Bonds 12.9% Asset Backed Securities 0.5% Mortgage Backed Securities 0.2% Derivative Products -14.0% How risky is it? The value of the fund can go down as well as up. You could lose money. One way to gauge risk is to look at how much a fund s returns change over time. This is called volatility. In general, funds with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns. Funds with lower volatility tend to have returns that change less over time. They typically have lower returns and may have a lower chance of losing money. Risk rating NBI has rated the volatility of this fund as low. This rating is based on how much the fund s returns have changed from year to year. It doesn t tell you how volatile the fund will be in the future. This rating can change over time. A fund with a low risk rating can still lose money. LOW LOW TO TO For more information about the risk rating and specific risks that can affect the fund s returns, see the Risk section of the fund s simplified prospectus. No guarantees Like most mutual funds, this fund doesn t have any guarantees. You may not get back the money you invest. Page 1 of 3

NBI Floating Rate Income Fund How has the fund performed? This section tells you how securities of the fund have performed over the past 3 years. Returns are after expenses have been deducted. These expenses reduce the fund s returns. Year-by-year returns This chart shows how securities of the fund performed in each of the past 3 years. The fund dropped in value in 1 of the 3 years. The range of returns and change from year to year can help you assess how risky the fund has been in the past. It does not tell you how the fund will perform in the future. 7 % 6 % 5 % 4 % 3 % 2 % 1 % 0 % -1 % -2 % -3 % -4 % -5 % -6 % -7 % 4.5% 3.1% -3.7% 2015 2016 2017 Best and worst 3-month returns This table shows the best and worst returns for securities of the fund in a 3-month period over the past 3 years. The best and worst 3-month returns could be higher or lower in the future. Consider how much of a loss you could afford to take in a short period of time. Return 3 months ending If you invested $1,000 at the beginning of the period Best Return 4.4% May 31, 2016 Your investment would rise to $1,044. Worst return -3.9% February 29, 2016 Your investment would drop to $961. Average return The annual compounded return of securities of the fund was 1.24% since its inception. If you had invested $1,000 in this series since inception, your investment would now be worth $1,053. Who is this fund for? Investors who: are looking to invest for the short to medium term (at least one year); are looking for an investment that takes interest rate fluctuations into account and provides a source of interest income. A word about tax In general, you ll have to pay income tax on any money you make on a fund. How much you pay depends on the tax laws where you live and whether or not you hold the fund in a registered plan, such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Keep in mind that if you hold your fund in a non-registered account, fund distributions are included in your taxable income, whether you get them in cash or have them reinvested. How much does it cost? The following tables show the fees and expenses you could pay to buy, own and sell units of the fund. The fees and expenses including any commissions can vary among series of the fund and among funds. Higher commissions can influence representatives to recommend one investment over another. Ask about other funds and investments that may be suitable for you at a lower cost. 1. Sales Charges There are no charges when you purchase your securities through NBI or National Bank Direct Brokerage (a division of National Bank Financial Inc.). Other representative's firm may charge you a fee. 2. Fund expenses You don t pay these expenses directly. They affect you because they reduce the fund's returns. As of December 31, 2017, the fund's expenses were 1.50% of its value. This equals $15.02 for every $1,000 invested. Page 2 of 3

NBI waived some of the fund's expenses. If it had not done so, the MER would have been higher. Trading expense ratio (TER) These are the fund's trading costs. 1.49% 0.01% Fund Expenses 1.50% More about the trailing commission The trailing commission is an ongoing commission. It is paid for as long as you own the fund. It is for the services and/or advice that your representative and their firm provide to you. NBI pays the trailing commission to your representative s firm. It is paid from the fund s management fee and is based on the value of your investment. The rate for this series of the fund is up to 0.65% of the value of your investment each year. This equals $6.50 each year for every $1,000.00 invested. 3. Other fees You may have to pay other fees when you buy, hold, sell, switch or convert securities of the fund. Fee Short-term trading fee What you pay 2% of the value of the securities you redeem or switch within 30 days of purchase may be charged by NBI. This fee goes to the fund. Other fees Registered Account termination fee, only if the registered investment account is with NBI. $100 What if I change my mind? Under the securities law in some provinces and territories, you have the right to: withdraw from an agreement to buy mutual fund securities within two business days after you receive a simplified prospectus or Fund Facts document; or cancel your purchase within 48 hours after you receive confirmation of the purchase. In some provinces and territories, you also have the right to cancel a purchase, or in some jurisdictions, claim damages, if the simplified prospectus, annual information form, Fund Facts document or financial statements contain a misrepresentation. You must act within the time limit set by the securities law in your province or territory. For more information, see the securities law of your province or territory or ask a lawyer. For more information Contact NBI or your representative for a copy of the fund s simplified prospectus and other disclosure documents.
