Global Opportunities CI Global Solutions
Global Opportunities Where can investors find the best opportunities today? From 2000 to 2010, the Canadian stock market consistently outperformed its global counterparts. In the first quarter of 2011, however, this trend reversed and Canadian stocks have lagged. Today global and international equity funds account for only 8% of total long-term fund assets compared to 32% at the end of 2000. As investors start returning to equity funds, it is expected that global and international funds will be their top choices. Canadian vs. Global Sector Weightings For investors seeking greater global diversification, CI Investments offers a wide variety of options. CI s global equity funds offer these important benefits: Geographic diversification Markets around the world do not always move in tandem. By investing globally, you gain exposure to some of the world s best-performing markets and reduce risk. Sector diversification In Canada, three sectors financials, materials and energy make up over 70% of the benchmark index, which exposes Canadian investors to considerable concentration risk. Investing in global equities provides investors with increased exposure to all sectors and asset classes. 80 70 60 50,, Other 64% 72% 40 30 20 10 36% 28% 0 Source: PALTrak as of June 30, 2013 MSCI World Index S&P/ TSX Index

Canadian equities are currently trading at a premium when compared to other regions. Rest of the world Source: MSCI as of June 30, 2013 Canada Currency diversification Many of the fundamentals that supported a strong Canadian dollar over the past six years no longer exist. Currency traders are predicting a period of Canadian dollar depreciation. By investing globally, Canadians can diversify their portfolios by currency and position their portfolios to benefit should the dollar fall. In fact, a depreciating dollar can enhance the return of a global equity portfolio. Active and expert management CI has a strong lineup of award-winning management teams consisting of experts who specialize in their sectors on a global basis. Research related to global companies can be less abundant and less transparent, so it is important to have skilled managers who have access to accurate, timely information about global markets. Access to higher growth rates in emerging markets Growth rates in emerging markets remain higher than in the developed world, especially in sectors such as health care, as more people in the developing regions of the world adopt the use of modern pharmaceuticals. Maintaining exposure to these markets may enhance investment returns.
