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.

Building a typical portfolio of ETFs vs. one of actively-managed Franklin Templeton Funds

• Portfolio Allocation: 60% equity and 40% fixed income, with appr. 60%/40% in CDN/Foreign exposure

• These ETFs were selected to meet similar investment as the broadly used indices representing major markets

• Largest ETFs by AUM were selected based on availability on the Canadian and US stock exchanges

• FTI Funds are represented by focus funds that are also core strategies representing major asset classes

• Series F was selected as it is the closest equivalent fee structure to that used in accounts holding ETFs

Additional Stats (since inception)

Observations:

• 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

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.

Take a Fresh Look at the Franklin U.S. Core Equity Fund

Meet the Management Team

• New lead portfolio manager Brent Loder, who has been a part of the

management team since 2009, took the helm in November 2012.

Brent joined Franklin Templeton in 2006 and has been part of the

Franklin Equity Group since then. His research responsibilities

include financial and business services companies.

• Since becoming lead portfolio manager on the U.S Core Equity

Fund, Brent has made a number of changes in the portfolio, paying

particular attention to the risk profile of each security, as well as risk

in the overall portfolio. The strategy has remained largely the same,

and the portfolio is differentiated from its S&P 500 Index.

• Effective September 1st, 2013, Chris Anderson joined Brent in

managing the fund as a backup PM. Chris has taken an active role

in portfolio management of the Fund, reexamining portfolio holdings

with a second pair of eyes and ensuring the investment theses

remain intact.

U.S. Core Equity Strategy

• The Fund utilizes a contrarian approach to invest in 30-40 of the

team’s highest conviction stocks within the U.S. equity universe. The

strategy is style- and benchmark-agnostic, and predominantly large

cap focused. In evaluating securities for portfolio consideration, the

portfolio manager pays particular attention to valuation, the firm’s

ability to generate free cash flow, and corporate governance.

• Risk is monitored on both the portfolio and individual stock level.

Stock-specific risk is managed as part of fundamental research, as

well as through position sizes , a strong sell discipline, and broad

industry diversification. In particular, the team aims to limit

duplicative end market exposures of portfolio companies.

Performance Drivers

• The U.S Core Equity Fund’s performance struggled during the 2H11-

1H12 period. Over the past two years, the markets’ continued shift

from risk-on/risk-off to fundamental drivers has supported a better

environment for this concentrated strategy, which is focused on

identifying individual securities that, in our view, represent the best

investment ideas in the broad U.S. equity market.

• Stock selection has been driving the Fund’s returns broadly across

sectors. In particular, new names like Valeant Pharmaceuticals

International have contributed over the past 2 years, helping the

Fund to achieve top-decile performance over this time frame.

• Looking forward, we would expect stock selection to continue to be

the primary driver of the Fund’s performance, particularly when

markets reward companies based on their underlying fundamentals.

We remain optimistic about longer-term prospects of the portfolio

holdings and the opportunities our bottom-up research continues to

uncover.

Differentiating Itself from its Benchmark…

…And a Compelling Risk Profile

• Since November 2012, when Brent Loder became lead portfolio manager, we’ve seen strong absolute and

benchmark- and peer-relative returns in the Franklin U.S. Core Equity Fund.

• While the strategy hasn’t changed significantly – utilizing an opportunistic, benchmark-agnostic and

concentrated approach to invest in 30-40 U.S. large cap stocks – Brent has made a number of changes

within the portfolio, as well as some modifications to the investment process, particularly in terms of risk

control.

• We believe the Franklin U.S. Core Equity Fund is a compelling offering with unique features that may be a

good compliment to Franklin’s various diversified offerings.

INVESTMENT TERM GLOSSARY

Alpha: A measure of the difference between a portfolio’s actual returns and its expected performance, given its

level of risk as measured by beta. A positive Alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its

beta would predict. In contrast, a negative Alpha indicates the portfolio has underperformed, given the

expectations established by beta.

Beta: Beta is a measure of systematic risk with respect to a benchmark. Systematic risk is the tendency of the

value of the fund and the value of benchmark to move together.

Standard Deviation: This depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time. The standard

deviation of historical performance is used to try to predict the range of returns that are most likely for a given

fund.

Up Capture: Upside Capture Ratio measures a manager's performance in up markets relative to the market

(benchmark) itself.

Down Capture: Downside Capture Ratio measures manager's performance in down markets. A down-market is

defined as those periods (months or quarters) in which market return is less than 0. In essence, it tells you what

percentage of the down-market was captured by the manager.

Sharpe Ratio: A risk-adjusted measure. It is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to

determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted

performance.

Downside Deviation: This measures only deviations below a specified benchmark.

TTM Yield: Measure of the fund's income distributions, as a percentage of the fund price. It is calculated by

summing the income distributions over the trailing 12 months and dividing that by the sum of the last month's

ending NAV plus any capital gains distributed over the 12-month period. Morningstar adds back capital gains to

estimate what the fund's ending price would have been had it not distributed these gains; this makes the result

more comparable to a stock yield because stocks do not distribute gains but rather simply increase in price.

YTM: The Yield to maturity (YTM) of a bond is the internal rate of return (IRR, overall interest rate) earned by an

investor who buys the bond today at the market price, assuming that the bond will be held until maturity, and that

all coupon and principal payments will be made on schedule.
