Franklin Quotential Portfolios V.S. CI Investments Portfolio Series
Franklin Quotential and CI Investment Portfolio Series Overview
• Franklin Quotential program was launched in August 2002, a pioneer of its time as a one-stop-solution with options covering a range of client risk/return profiles. Over the last decade, Franklin Quotential program continued to focus on delivering superior long-term risk adjusted return, by investing across asset classes, regions and styles.
• Franklin Quotential portfolios are constructed to meet investors’ long-term risk/return profiles by adding value from 3 sources: the portfolios are constructed using FTS’ long-term capital market expectations; the portfolios can opportunistically adjust their asset allocation by +/-10% from their targets to avoid short-term risks and capitalize on opportunities; and the portfolios can benefit from the alpha generated by the underlying actively managed strategies of Franklin Templeton.
• CI Investment Portfolio Series first started with CI Portfolio Series Balanced fund in 1988. The majority of the funds in the family were launched in December of 2001.
• Franklin Quotential portfolios tend to be at lower risk level compare to CI Portfolio Series, because CI
Portfolio Series tend to have higher allocation to equity.
• Franklin Quotential portfolios offer tactical asset allocation overlay at asset class level, which CI
Portfolio Series does not.
• Franklin Quotential portfolios equity allocation are globally focused. CI Portfolio Series’ equity
allocations tend to be more U.S. equity.
• CI Portfolios Series tend to gravitate towards domestics fixed income, and Franklin Quotential
portfolios are able to leverage Franklin Templeton’s experience and experience in global fixed income

• CI Portfolio Series program does not implement tactical asset allocation at the asset class level. On the other hand, Franklin Quotential portfolios do have the flexibility to allocate assets among equity and fixed income, thus it is positioned to adapt o the prevailing market condition and risks.
• CI Portfolio Series program is generally at a higher risk level compare to its Franklin Quotential counterparts, especially at the lower risk spectrum. This had greatly benefited CI Portfolio Series over the equity market bull market from 2012 to 2014.

Franklin Quotential Funds V.S. CI Investments Portfolio Series
Global Focus
• CI Portfolio Series program structurally has a higher focus on U.S. Equity than Franklin Quotential portfolios. Franklin Quotential Portfolios tend to be focused on global diversification. During a U.S. equity bull market, Franklin Quotential portfolios could lag behind CI Portfolio Series, but if U.S. equity enter into a bear market state then Franklin Quotential portfolios are positioned to capture opportunities globally. Currently, U.S. asset class is one of the most expensive equity asset class, which means that it is slowly becoming more unattractive. Franklin Quotential portfolios aim to be a long term investment solutions, despite having overweight in U.S. equity it still uphold its mandate being invested globally and reduce regional risks.

Investing in ETFs Versus a Portfolio of Actively Managed Funds
Popularity of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in the Canadian market
• 2014 has been the best year on record for the ETF market in Canada, with $10.3B in net flows and
culminating in total AUM of $77B on December 31, 2014
• While ETFs have their place in financial services and this increased popularity may have been
supported by recent industry trends and upcoming regulatory changes in Canada (CRM2), ETFs also
have a number of unavoidable structural limitations
• Despite the fee differential and a challenging 2014 for a number of FTI funds, investing in a portfolio
of actively managed core FTI funds has historically offered enhanced returns and more conservative
volatility than a portfolio of widely distributed ETFs, resulting in a better investor experience and
enhancement in the advisor’s business growth and bottom line.

General benefits and limitations of ETFs
Benefits of ETFs:
• Cost: Inexpensive mean to invest in a broad market
• Pure Asset Classes: Possibility to isolate
investments in specific sectors, regions or assets
classes; portfolios are undiluted by the need to keep
cash to cover redemptions
• Liquidity: Traded on stock exchanges, through full
service or discount brokers
• Diversification: One-ticket access to an entire
market or a diversified portfolio of different markets
through a number of ETFs
• Shorting & Leveraging: Some ETFs provide
exposure to leveraged or inverted (shorting)
markets
Source: Investors Economics and National Bank Financials. Assets as of December 31 of each year. Asset Breakdown is as at November 30, 2014. *Including institutional pools and segregated accounts
• 2014 Growth in AUM was the best on record in Canada,
exceeding AUM growth in 2009
• $10.3B in net flows in 2014 (record year), equivalent to 16%
of starting assets. Close to 50% of net flows went into BMO-
sponsored ETFs ($5.1B)
• Total AUM of passive strategies in Canada adds up to $363B*
as of June 30, 2014 or 15% of total managed assets.
Asset Breakdown of ETFs
Limitations of ETFs:
• Performance lags: Consistently lagging the index/benchmark due
to management fees, tracking
errors, trading costs and compensation
• Limited transparency: With the popular use of derivatives to
duplicate returns, there is no complete clarity on the underlying
holdings with some ETFs
• Accessibility: Can only be purchased through IIROC licensed or
discount brokers, although there is work to potentially open ETFs
to MFDA dealers
• Trading risks:
o Thinly traded ETFs tend to have wide bid/ask spreads that
impact returns
o Studies show investors having the tendency to trade ETFs more
frequently than mutual funds, thereby undermining returns
• Limited purchase options: Limited to no corporate class option,
flexible series T, pricing flexibility, or dollar-cost-averaging
capabilities.

Impact on advisors’ book of business and benefits of a portfolio of FTI-managed funds
• Despite underperforming by 203bps in the last year and an avg MER difference of 87bps, the portfolio of FTI funds outperformed
by 1.56% (annualized and net of fees) since inception or 9.7% cumulative, in the span of 6 years and 8 months.
• Absolute volatility as represented by standard deviation and sensitivity to market downturns (beta & downside capture ratio)
also give a clear advantage to investing in a portfolio of FTI funds
Assumptions:
• $20 million book of business (BoB) invested in the ETF
portfolio vs. a selected portfolio of FTI funds. Both
portfolios have the same allocation as the table above
• Projected returns equal to the since-inception annualized
returns listed in the table above (5.79% for the portfolio of
ETFs vs. 7.35% for the portfolio of FTI funds)
Trailers are based on 1% rate applied across monthly average of AUM. * Based on the actual historical monthly performance of both portfolios between April 1, 2008 and December 31, 2014.
Source: Morningstar Direct. Projected trailer fees are based on average annual value of book of business based on investments in the two portfolios.
Observations:
• Based on actual historical returns, the difference in the size
of the book is $2.8M if investing in a portfolio of FTI funds
versus the ETFs and $104k in added trailer fees.
• Applying the annualized returns experienced since April 1,
2008 and projecting it to 20 years, then the $20M in book of
business grows to over $68.6M if investing in the portfolio of
FTI funds vs. $51.1M in ETFs. Over $17M in difference.
• Cumulative trailers add up to $7.9M if investing in a portfolio
of FTI funds vs. $6.7M if investing in ETFs. A cumulative
difference of $1.26M in 20 years or average of $62.8k in
added trailer fees per year.
Some of the advantages of investing in a Portfolio of FTI Funds:
• Improved chances to outperform the market, combined with historically lower volatility should result in generally better investor
experience and improved business bottom line for advisors as opposed to employing ETFs.
• In an environment of historically low yields, contracted fixed income spreads and equity markets hitting record highs, bottom-up
security selection and active management should generally outperform and FTI, with the depth and breadth of its platform,
is well-positioned in such an environment
• A platform that offers multiple investment styles across different asset classes provides advisors with opportunities to outperform the
general market in different market cycles, including SMAs. As an example, we can complement/alternate the US equity exposure
with Franklin US Core Equity or Franklin Bissett US Focus funds, Global equity with Templeton Growth or Franklin World
Growth funds and Canadian equity with Franklin Bissett All Canadian Focus or Franklin Bissett Canadian Dividend funds.

Winners and Losers from Oil Price Decline
Global oil prices sharply declined by 50 percentage points over the
course of 2014. The fall from a 2014-peak of over US$110/barrel in
June to around US$56/barrel by end-December has triggered a broad-
based selloff of emerging-market assets, including currencies. A variety
of different reasons appear to have contributed to the downward
pressure on oil prices on both the supply and demand side. On the
supply side, technological innovations in drilling techniques have led to
an increase in output from non-OPEC nations and added inventory. At
the same time, OPEC has not yet taken steps to reduce member
country production. On the demand side, concerns regarding a
slowdown in global growth may have negatively influenced demand for
crude. If we look at the reduction in prices, we have seen both clear
winners and losers emerge. Commodity producers in which oil is the
main revenue source could face greater vulnerabilities and budgetary
stress. However, as most major economies are oil importers, this price
decline, in our view, is likely to add rather than subtract from global
growth; the effect of the decline in oil prices is comparable to a tax cut
for these economies. Nonetheless, the sharp decline has led to
volatility in asset prices and triggered broad-based fear across nearly
all emerging markets.
Chart 1: Brent Crude Price per Barrel (US$)
3 January 2014 – 31 December 2014
• If we look at the reduction in oil prices, we have seen both clear winners and losers emerge. Commodity producers in which oil is the
main revenue source could face greater vulnerabilities and budgetary stress. However, as most major economies are oil importers, this
price decline, in our view, is likely to add rather than subtract from global growth.
• In times of uncertainty and volatility, short-term panic and contagion have the potential to trigger broad-based selloffs across emerging
markets and risky assets, including currencies. We believe currencies of countries that have a diverse export base and a fiscal budget
supported by multiple revenue sources are likely to be more resilient and could potentially outperform those of countries highly reliant
on a single sector when volatility subsides and fundamental factors drive valuations.
• The fundamental outlook underpinning our currency positions has not changed; we expect the currencies of economies with relatively
strong growth and with more prudent policies to likely appreciate against the currencies of the G3 (i.e., the United States, the eurozone
and Japan) over the longer term. As part of the fundamental research process, our investment team assesses a country’s oil price
exposure and whether a country has multiple levers to deal with an oil price shock. We seek to avoid countries that we believe do not
have the ability to deal with declining oil prices, such as Venezuela, and have generally favored countries with strong fundamentals and
a broad mix of industries like Malaysia and Mexico. Moreover, a handful of Asian countries, from South Korea to India, are large oil
importers: A decline in oil prices would likely be favorable to their economies and current account dynamics.
HIG
HL
IGH
TS
Bifurcated Impact – Winners/Losers
We believe select countries that lack reserve funds and that rely heavily on oil to support state budgets and current account balances will likely suffer from lost
revenue and lower growth. Oil related revenues for the major oil-producing countries of Russia and Venezuela represent a significant portion of their
respective total fiscal revenue. These countries have already been facing deep economic problems and are likely to experience more strains should
depressed oil prices persist, with meaningful cuts to GDP (gross domestic product) possible. On the other hand, we believe the decline in oil prices is
potentially favorable for a host of net-energy importers ranging from developed nations such as Japan and certain European Union members to emerging
markets such as India and South Korea. The drop in prices also has the potential to bolster economic reform in certain economies. Recently, many emerging-
market countries, such as Malaysia and Indonesia, have moved toward cutting fuel subsidies while others, such as India and Egypt, have made similar policy
commitments to improve their public finances.
Commodity and Currency Volatility
In times of uncertainty and volatility, short-term panic and contagion have the potential to trigger broad-based selloffs across emerging markets and risky
assets, including currencies. The decline in oil price has placed downward pressure on foreign exchange markets, particularly those of countries dependent
on oil sales such as Russia (see chart below). We expect that currencies with strong ties to commodity prices will likely remain under pressure if softer oil
prices persist. However, we believe currencies of countries that have a diverse export base and a fiscal budget supported by multiple revenue sources are
likely to be more resilient and could potentially outperform those of countries highly reliant on a single sector when volatility subsides and fundamental factors
drive valuations.

Portfolio Update
In the short term, the broad strengthening of the US dollar along with depreciating emerging-market currency movements from lower energy prices
and renewed concerns over global growth have weighed on Templeton Global Bond Fund’s performance. However, the fundamental outlook
underpinning our currency positions has not changed; we expect the currencies of economies with relatively strong growth and with more prudent
policies to likely appreciate against the currencies of the G3 (i.e., the United States, the eurozone and Japan) over the longer term. As part of the
fundamental research process, our investment team assesses a country’s oil price exposure and whether a country has multiple levers to deal with
an oil price shock. We seek to avoid countries that we believe do not have the ability to deal with declining oil prices, such as Venezuela, and have
generally favored countries with strong fundamentals and a broad mix of industries like Malaysia and Mexico. Moreover, a handful of Asian
countries, from South Korea to India, are large oil importers: A decline in oil prices would likely be favorable to their economies and current account
dynamics.
Strong Long-Term Performance
Amid the headline news and market noise, we encourage investors to be patient and maintain a longer-term focus. We believe the ability to
weather short-term volatility enables investors to achieve strong risk-adjusted performance that is based on underlying fundamentals. While
Templeton Global Bond Fund has underperformed in the short term, it outperformed its benchmark over the three-, five- and 10-year periods
ended 31 December 2014. Additionally, the fund ranked in the top half quartile of its Morningstar category over the three- and five-year periods
and the top quartile over the 10-year period.
