MACKENZIE CANADIAN LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND
CANADIAN EQUITY FUND
ANNUAL AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | March 31, 2017
MANAGEMENT REPORT
Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Mackenzie Financial Corporation, as Manager of Mackenzie Canadian Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The Manager is
responsible for the integrity, objectivity and reliability of the data presented. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and making judgments and estimates
consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Manager is also responsible for the development of internal controls over the financial reporting process, which are designed
to provide reasonable assurance that relevant and reliable financial information is produced.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mackenzie Financial Corporation is responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements and overseeing the Manager’s performance of
its financial reporting responsibilities. The Board is assisted in discharging this responsibility by an Audit Committee, which reviews the financial statements and recommends them for
approval by the Board. The Audit Committee also meets regularly with the Manager, internal auditors and external auditors to discuss internal controls over the financial reporting process,
auditing matters and financial reporting issues.
Deloitte LLP is the external auditor of the Fund. It is appointed by the Board. The external auditor has audited the financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
auditing standards to enable it to express to the securityholders its opinion on the financial statements. Its report is set out below.
On behalf of Mackenzie Financial Corporation,
Manager of the Fund
Barry McInerney
President and Chief Executive Officer
Terry Rountes
Chief Financial Officer, Funds
June 6, 2017
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Securityholders of Mackenzie Canadian Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”)
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Fund which comprise the statements of financial position as at March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the statements of
comprehensive income, statements of changes in financial position and statements of cash flows for the periods then ended, as indicated in Note 1, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as at March 31, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash
flows for the periods then ended, as indicated in Note 1, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

ANNUAL AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | March 31, 2017
CANADIAN EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Fiscal Periods and General Information
The information provided in these financial statements and notes thereto is for the periods ended or as at March 31, 2017 and 2016, as applicable.
In the year a Fund or series is established or reinstated, ‘period’ represents the period from inception or reinstatement to the period end of that fiscal
year. Refer to Note 9 for the formation date of the Fund and the inception date of each series.
The Fund is organized as an open-ended mutual fund trust established under the laws of the Province of Ontario pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
as amended and restated from time to time. The address of the Fund’s registered office is 180 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The
Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units (referred to as “security” or “securities”) of multiple series. Series of the Fund are available
for sale under Simplified Prospectus or exempt distribution options.
Mackenzie Financial Corporation (“Mackenzie”) is the manager of the Fund and is wholly owned by IGM Financial Inc., a subsidiary of Power Financial
Corporation, which itself is a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada. The Great-West Life Assurance Company, London Life Insurance Company
and The Canada Life Assurance Company (collectively, the “Related Insurance Companies”) are wholly owned by Great-West Lifeco Inc., which is also
a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation. Investments in companies within the Power Group of companies held by the Fund are identified in the
Schedule of Investments.
2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation
These audited annual financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). A summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies
under IFRS is presented in Note 3.
These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Fund’s functional and presentation currency, and rounded to the nearest
thousand unless otherwise indicated. These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis using the historical cost basis, except for
financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value.
These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 6, 2017.
Standards issued but not yet effective for the current accounting year, as applicable, are described in Note 3.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Financial instruments
Financial instruments include financial assets and liabilities such as debt and equity securities, open-ended investment funds and derivatives.
The Fund classifies and measures financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as issued in 2014) (“IFRS 9”). Upon
initial recognition, financial instruments are classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). All financial instruments are recognized in
the Statement of Financial Position when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual requirements of the instrument. Financial instruments are
derecognized when the right to receive cash flows from the instrument has expired or the Fund has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership. As such, investment purchase and sale transactions are recorded as of the trade date.
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at FVTPL with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income – Net
unrealized gain (loss).
The Fund’s redeemable securities contain multiple dissimilar contractual obligations and therefore meet the criteria for classification as financial
liabilities under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The Fund’s obligation for net assets attributable to securityholders is presented at the
redemption amount.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are calculated based on average cost of investments and exclude commissions and other
portfolio transaction costs, which are separately reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income – Commissions and other portfolio transaction
costs.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the investments are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period in
which they arise.
The Fund accounts for its holdings in unlisted open-ended investment funds, if any, at fair value through profit and loss. Mackenzie has concluded
that any unlisted open-ended investment fund in which the Fund invests, does not meet either the definition of structured entities or the definition of
an associate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
(b) Fair value measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.
Investments listed on a public securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market are valued on the basis of the last traded market price
or close price recorded by the security exchange on which the security is principally traded, where this price falls within the quoted bid-ask spread
for the investment. In circumstances where this price is not within the bid-ask spread, Mackenzie determines the point within the bid-ask spread
that is most representative of fair value based on the specific facts and circumstances. Mutual fund securities of an underlying fund are valued
on a business day at the price calculated by the manager of such underlying fund in accordance with the constating documents of such underlying
fund. Unlisted or non-exchange traded investments, or investments where a last sale or close price is unavailable or investments for which market
quotations are, in Mackenzie’s opinion, inaccurate, unreliable, or not reflective of all available material information, are valued at their fair value as
determined by Mackenzie using appropriate and accepted industry valuation techniques including valuation models. The fair value determined using
valuation models requires the use of inputs and assumptions based on observable market data including volatility and other applicable rates or
prices. In limited circumstances, the fair value may be determined using valuation techniques that are not supported by observable market data.
The cost of investments is determined on a weighted average cost basis.
Cash and cash equivalents which includes cash on deposit with financial institutions and short term investments that are readily convertible to
cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and are used by the Fund in the management of short-term commitments. Cash and
cash equivalents are reported at fair value which closely approximates their amortized cost due to their nature of being highly liquid and having short
terms to maturity. Bank overdraft positions are presented under current liabilities as bank indebtedness in the Statement of Financial Position.
The Fund may use derivatives (such as written options, futures, forward contracts, swaps or customized derivatives) to hedge against losses
caused by changes in securities prices, interest rates or exchange rates. The Fund may also use derivatives for non-hedging purposes in order to
invest indirectly in securities or financial markets, to gain exposure to other currencies, to seek to generate additional income, and/or for any other
purpose considered appropriate by the Fund’s portfolio manager(s), provided that the use of the derivative is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objectives. Any use of derivatives will comply with Canadian mutual fund laws, subject to the regulatory exemptions granted to the Fund, as
applicable. Refer to “Exemptions from National Instrument 81-102” in the Annual Information Form of the Fund for further details, including the
complete conditions of these exemptions, as applicable.
Valuations of derivative instruments are carried out daily, using normal exchange reporting sources for exchange-traded derivatives and specific
broker enquiry for over-the-counter derivatives.
The value of forward contracts is the gain or loss that would be realized if, on the valuation date, the positions were to be closed out. The change in
value of forward contracts is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income – Other changes in fair value of investments – Net unrealized gain
(loss).
The value of futures contracts or swaps fluctuates daily, and cash settlements made daily, where applicable, by the Fund are equal to the unrealized
gains or losses on a “mark to market” basis. These unrealized gains or losses are recorded and reported as such until the Fund closes out the
contract or the contract expires. Margin paid or deposited in respect of futures contracts or swaps is reflected as a receivable in the Statement of
Financial Position – Margin on futures contracts or swaps. Any change in the variation margin requirement is settled daily.
Premiums received from writing options are included in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability and subsequently adjusted daily to fair
value. If a written option expires unexercised, the premium received is recognized as a realized gain. If a written call option is exercised, the
difference between the proceeds of the sale plus the value of the premium, and the cost of the security is recognized as a realized gain or loss. If a
written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is the exercise price of the option less the premium received.
Refer to the Schedule of Derivative Instruments and Schedule of Options Purchased/Written, as applicable, included in the Schedule of Investments
for a listing of derivative and options positions as at March 31, 2017.
(c) Income recognition
Interest income from interest bearing investments is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividends are accrued as of the ex-dividend
date. Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments, including foreign exchange gains or losses on such investments, are calculated on an
average cost basis. Distributions received from an underlying fund are included in interest income, dividend income or realized gains (losses) on sale
of investments, as appropriate.
Income, realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated daily among the series on a pro-rata basis.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
(d) Commissions and other portfolio transaction costs
Commissions and other portfolio transaction costs are costs incurred to acquire, issue or dispose of financial assets or liabilities. They include fees
and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers.
(e) Securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions
The Fund is permitted to enter into securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions as set out in the Fund’s Simplified Prospectus.
These transactions involve the temporary exchange of securities for collateral with a commitment to redeliver the same securities on a future date.
Securities lending transactions are administered by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (the “Securities Lending Agent”). The value of cash
or securities held as collateral must be at least 102% of the fair value of the securities loaned, sold or purchased. Income is earned from these
transactions in the form of fees paid by the counterparty and, in certain circumstances, interest paid on cash or securities held as collateral. Income
earned from these transactions is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income – Securities lending income and recognized when earned.
Note 9 summarizes the details of securities loaned and collateral received, as well as a reconciliation of securities lending income, if applicable.
(f)Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position only when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into various master netting agreements or similar agreements that do not meet the criteria for
offsetting in the Statement of Financial Position but still allow for the related amounts to be set off in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or
termination of the contracts. Note 9 summarizes the details of such offsetting, if applicable.
Income and expenses are not offset in the Statement of Comprehensive Income unless required or permitted to by an accounting standard, as
specifically disclosed in the IFRS policies of the Fund.
(g) Foreign currency
The functional and presentation currency of the Fund is Canadian dollars. Foreign currency purchases and sales of investments and foreign currency
dividend and interest income and expenses are translated to Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains (losses) on purchases and sales of foreign currencies are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income – Net realized
gain (loss).
The fair value of investments and other assets and liabilities, denominated in foreign currencies, are translated to Canadian dollars at the rate of
exchange prevailing on each business day.
(h) Net assets attributable to securityholders per security
Net assets attributable to securityholders per security is computed by dividing the net assets attributable to securityholders of a series of securities
on a business day by the total number of securities of the series outstanding on that day.
(i) Net asset value per security
The daily Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of an investment fund may be calculated without reference to IFRS as per the Canadian Securities Administrators’
(“CSA”) regulations. The difference between NAV and Net assets attributable to securityholders (as reported in the financial statements), if any, is
mainly due to differences in fair value of investments and other financial assets and liabilities. Refer to Note 9 for the Fund’s NAV per security.
(j) Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to securityholders from operations per security
Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to securityholders from operations per security in the Statement of Comprehensive Income represents
the increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to securityholders from operations for the period, divided by the weighted average number of
securities outstanding during the period.
(k)Mergers
The Fund applies the acquisition method of accounting for Fund mergers. Under this method, one of the Funds in each merger is identified as the
acquiring Fund, and is referred to as the Continuing Fund, and the other Fund involved in the merger is referred to as the Terminated Fund. This
identification is based on the comparison of the relative net asset values of the Funds as well as consideration of the continuation of such aspects of
the Continuing Fund as: investment advisors; investment objectives and practices; type of portfolio securities; and management fees and expenses.
(l) IASB Disclosure Initiative
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Mackenzie has
determined there are no implications to the Fund’s financial statements arising from the amendments.

ANNUAL AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | March 31, 2017
CANADIAN EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that primarily affect the valuation of
investments. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Use of Estimates
Fair value of securities not quoted in an active market
The Fund may hold financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets and are valued using valuation techniques that make use of
observable data, to the extent practicable. Various valuation techniques are utilized, depending on a number of factors, including comparison with
similar instruments for which observable market prices exist and recent arm’s length market transactions. Key inputs and assumptions used are
company specific and may include estimated discount rates and expected price volatilities. Changes in key inputs, could affect the reported fair
value of these financial instruments held by the Fund.
Use of Judgments
Classification and measurement of investments and application of the fair value option
In classifying and measuring financial instruments held by the Fund, Mackenzie is required to make significant judgments in order to determine the
most appropriate classification in accordance with IFRS 9. Mackenzie has assessed the Fund’s business model, the manner in which all financial
instruments are managed and performance evaluated as a group on a fair value basis, and concluded that FVTPL in accordance with IFRS 9 provides
the most appropriate measurement and presentation of the Fund’s financial instruments.
Functional currency
The Fund’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar, which is the currency considered to best represent the economic effects of
the Fund’s underlying transactions, events and conditions taking into consideration the manner in which securities are issued and redeemed and how
returns and performance by the Fund are measured.
Structured entities and associates
In determining whether unlisted open-ended investment funds in which the Fund invests, but that it does not consolidate, meets the definitions
of either a structured entity or of an associate, Mackenzie is required to make significant judgments about whether these underlying funds have
the typical characteristics of a structured entity or of an associate. Mackenzie has assessed the characteristics of these underlying funds and has
concluded that they do not meet the definition of either a structured entity or of an associate because the Fund does not have contracts or financing
arrangements with these underlying funds and the Fund does not have an ability to influence the activities of these underlying funds or the returns it
receives from investing in these underlying funds.
5. Income Taxes
The Fund qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, accordingly, is subject to tax on its income
including net realized capital gains in the taxation year, which is not paid or payable to its securityholders as at the end of the taxation year. It is the
intention of the Fund to distribute all of its net income and sufficient net realized capital gains so that the Fund will not be subject to income taxes.
Losses of the Fund cannot be allocated to investors and are retained in the Fund for use in future years. Non-capital losses may be carried forward
up to 20 years to reduce taxable income and realized capital gains of future years. Capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future
realized capital gains. Refer to Note 9 for the Fund’s loss carryforwards.
6. Management Fees and Operating Expenses
Mackenzie is paid a management fee for managing the investment portfolio, providing investment analysis and recommendations, making
investment decisions, making brokerage arrangements relating to the purchase and sale of the investment portfolio and making arrangements with
registered dealers for the purchase and sale of securities of the Fund by investors. The management fee is calculated on each series of securities of
the Fund as a fixed annual percentage of the daily net asset value of the series.
Each series of the Fund, except B-Series, is charged a fixed rate annual administration fee (“Administration Fee”) and in return, Mackenzie bears all
of the operating expenses of the Fund, other than certain specified fund costs. The Administration Fee is calculated on each series of securities of
the Fund as a fixed annual percentage of the daily net asset value of the series.
Other fund costs include taxes (including, but not limited to GST/HST and income tax), interest and borrowing costs, all fees and expenses of the
Mackenzie Funds’ Independent Review Committee (IRC), costs of complying with the regulatory requirement to produce Fund Facts, fees paid to
external service providers associated with tax reclaims, refunds or the preparation of foreign tax reports on behalf of the Funds, new fees related to
external services that were not commonly charged in the Canadian mutual fund industry and introduced after September 29, 2016, and the costs of
complying with any new regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, any new fees introduced after September 29, 2016.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. Management Fees and Operating Expenses (cont’d)
All expenses relating to the operation of the Fund attributable to B-Series securities will be charged to that particular series. Operating expenses
include legal, audit, transfer agent, custodian, administration and trustee services, cost of financial reporting and Simplified Prospectus printing,
regulatory filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses specifically attributable to the B-Series securities and any applicable taxes.
Mackenzie may waive or absorb management fees and/or Administration Fees at its discretion and stop waiving or absorbing such fees at any time
without notice. Refer to Note 9 for the management fee and Administration Fee rates charged to each series of securities.
7. Fund’s Capital
The capital of the Fund, which is comprised of the net assets attributable to securityholders, is divided into different series with each series having
an unlimited number of securities. The securities outstanding for the Fund as at March 31, 2017 and 2016 and securities issued, reinvested and
redeemed for the periods are presented in the Statement of Changes in Financial Position. Mackenzie manages the capital of the Fund in accordance
with the investment objectives as discussed in Note 9.
8. Financial Instruments Risk
i. Risk exposure and management
The Fund’s investment activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, as defined in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”). The
Fund’s exposure to financial risks is concentrated in its investments, which are presented in the Schedule of Investments, as at March 31, 2017,
grouped by asset type, with geographic and sector information.
Mackenzie seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of financial risks on the Fund’s performance by employing professional, experienced portfolio
advisors, by monitoring the Fund’s positions and market events daily, by diversifying the investment portfolio within the constraints of the Fund’s
investment objectives, and where applicable, by using derivatives to hedge certain risk exposures. To assist in managing risks, Mackenzie also
maintains a governance structure that oversees the Fund’s investment activities and monitors compliance with the Fund’s stated investment
strategy, internal guidelines, and securities regulations.
ii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises when the Fund encounters difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they come due. The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk
due to potential daily cash redemptions of redeemable securities. In accordance with securities regulations, the Fund must maintain at least 90% of
its assets in liquid investments (i.e., investments that can be readily sold). In addition, the Fund retains sufficient cash and short-term investment
positions to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund also has the ability to borrow up to 5% of its net assets for the purposes of funding redemptions.
iii. Currency risk
Currency risk arises when the fair value of financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, which is the
Fund’s reporting currency, fluctuates due to changes in exchange rates. Note 9 summarizes the Fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to
currency risk.
iv. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises when the fair value of interest-bearing financial instruments fluctuates due to changes in the prevailing levels of market
interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents do not expose the Fund to significant amounts of interest rate risk. Note 9 summarizes the Fund’s
exposure, if applicable and significant, to interest rate risk.
v. Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising
from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all
instruments traded in a market or market segment. All investments present a risk of loss of capital. This risk is managed through a careful selection
of investments and other financial instruments within the parameters of the investment strategies. Except for certain derivative contracts, the
maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair value. The maximum risk of loss on certain derivative contracts such as
forwards, swaps, and futures contracts is equal to their notional values. In the case of written call (put) options and short futures contracts, the loss
to the Fund continues to increase, without limit, as the fair value of the underlying interest increases (decreases). However, these instruments are
generally used within the overall investment management process to manage the risk from the underlying investments and do not typically increase
the overall risk of loss to the Fund. This risk is mitigated by ensuring that the Fund holds a combination of the underlying interest, cash cover and/or
margin that is equal to or greater than the value of the derivative contract. Note 9 summarizes the Fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to
other price risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
8. Financial Instruments Risk (cont’d)
vi. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the
Fund. Note 9 summarizes the Fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant, to credit risk.
All transactions in listed securities are executed with approved brokers. To minimize the possibility of settlement default, securities are exchanged for
payment simultaneously, where market practices permit, through the facilities of a central depository and/or clearing agency where customary.
The carrying amount of investments and other assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure as at the date of the Statement of Financial
Position.
The Fund may enter into securities lending transactions with counterparties and it may also be exposed to credit risk from the counterparties to
the derivative instruments it may use. Credit risk associated with these transactions is considered minimal as all counterparties have a designated
rating equivalent to a Standard & Poor’s credit rating of not less than A-1 (low) on their short-term debt and of A on their long-term debt, as
applicable.
vii. Underlying funds
The Fund may invest in underlying funds and may be indirectly exposed to currency risk, interest rate risk, other price risk and credit risk from
fluctuations in the value of financial instruments held by the underlying funds. Note 9 summarizes the Fund’s exposure, if applicable and significant,
to these risks from underlying funds.

* Includes both monetary and non-monetary financial instruments
As at March 31, 2017, had the Canadian dollar increased or decreased by 5% relative to all foreign currencies, with all other variables held constant,
net assets would have decreased or increased by approximately $3,335 or 1.7% of total net assets (2016 – $4,647 or 2.1%). In practice, the actual
trading results may differ and the difference could be material.

iii. Interest rate risk
As at March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Fund did not have a significant exposure to interest rate risk.
iv. Other price risk
The Fund’s most significant exposure to price risk arises from its investment in equity securities. As at March 31, 2017, had the prices on the
respective stock exchanges for these securities increased or decreased by 10%, with all other variables held constant, net assets would have
increased or decreased by approximately $19,566 or 9.9% of total net assets (2016 – $21,271 or 9.8%). In practice, the actual trading results may
differ and the difference could be material.
v. Credit risk
As at March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Fund did not have a significant exposure to credit risk.
(h) Fair Value Classification
The table below summarizes the fair value of the Fund’s financial instruments using the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The inputs are considered observable if they are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or
transactions, and that reflect the assumption that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances
that caused the transfer.
In accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy, the Fund applies fair value adjustment factors to the quoted market prices for non-North American
equities when North American intraday stock market movements exceed pre-determined tolerances. The adjustment factors are applied in order to
estimate the impact on fair values of events occurring between the close of the non-North American stock markets and the close of business for
the Fund. If fair value adjustment factors are applied, non-North American equities are classified as Level 2. Consequently, during the period ended
March 31, 2017, non-North American equities frequently transferred between Level 1 (unadjusted quoted market prices) and Level 2 (adjusted
market prices). As at March 31, 2017, these securities were classified as Level 1 (2016 – Level 1).
Financial instruments classified as level 2 investments are valued through incorporating observable market data and using standard market
convention practices. Short-term investments classified as level 2 investments are valued based on amortized cost plus accrued interest which
closely approximates fair value.
