Disclaimers
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus or fund facts document before investing. The indicated
rates of return are historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional
charges or income taxes payable by any security holder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the money market funds will be able to
maintain their net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the Fund(s) will be returned to you. The portfolio manager for a Fund reserves the right to
withhold release of information with respect to holdings that would otherwise be included in the top 10 holdings list. Series T distributions are automatically reinvested unless otherwise requested. Series T
may also pay a distribution that must be reinvested in December, consisting of income and capital gains. Please indicate your preference to receive cash flow immediately on the application form. Fund AUM
reported may include fund-on-fund holdings, and assets are therefore reflected in both the top fund and underlying fund AUM. The ‘Supranational’ geographic designation refers to international financial
institutions whereby member states transcend national boundaries and issue debt securities on behalf of the group as a whole.
Beginning in October 2016, investors switching between Corporate Class funds may trigger a capital gain or loss at the time of the switch due to certain changes in the federal government’s 2016 budget
proposal.

month. The Star Rating is a measure of a fund’s annualized historical excess return (excess is measured relative to risk-free investment in Canadian Government Treasury Bills) adjusted for the fund’s
historical risk. The overall Star Rating for a fund is a weighted combination of its 3-, 5-, and 10-year ratings. Overall ratings are adjusted where a fund has less than five or 10 years’ history. Within each
Morningstar category, the top 10% of funds receive five stars, the next 22.5% four stars, the middle 35% three stars, the next 22.5% two stars and the bottom 10% receive one star. Franklin Quotential
Growth Portfolio is rated within the Morningstar Global Equity Balanced category. All performance data refers to Series A units. Please refer to www.morningstar.ca for more details on the calculation of
Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Ratings. For each of the 3, 5 and 10 year performance periods, there were in total 675, 454 and 153 funds, respectively, in the Morningstar Global Equity Balanced category.
Please refer to www.morningstar.ca for the 1-year information.
The Lipper Fund Awards
Awards, granted annually, are part of the Thomson Reuters Awards for Excellence awarded by Lipper, Inc. and highlight funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong riskadjusted performance relative to their peers. The Lipper Fund Awards are based on the Lipper Ratings for Consistent Return, which is a risk-adjusted performance measure calculated over 36, 60 and 120
month periods. The highest 20% of funds in each category are named Lipper Leaders for Consistent Return and receive a score of 5, the next 20% receive a score of 4, the middle 20% are scored 3, the
next 20% are scored 2 and the lowest 20% are scored 1. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return in each category wins the Lipper Fund Award. Lipper Leader ratings change monthly. From

Glossary
Dividend Yield of a stock is the total amount of dividend per share paid over the previous 12 months, divided by its current price. The dividend yield of a mutual fund is the market-weighted average of the
dividend yields of all the stocks in the portfolio. This measure is gross of fees.
Weighted Yield (Internal Yield) is a blended measure used for balanced funds, the internal yield is the market-weighted average of the Yield to Maturity of the fund's fixed income component and the
Dividend Yield of the fund's equity component. This measure is gross of fees.
Yield to Maturity (YTM) is a long-term yield expressed as an annual rate. A bond's YTM is the rate of return anticipated if one assumes the bond is held until its maturity date and all the coupons paid by the
bond are reinvested at the same rate of return as the coupons. The calculation takes into account the current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. The YTM of a bond fund is
the market-weighted average of the YTMs of all the bonds in the portfolio.
Yield to Worst (YTW) of a bond is the yield to maturity if the worst possible bond repayment takes place. If market yields are higher than the coupon, the YTW would assume no prepayment. If market yields
are below the coupon, the YTW would assume prepayment. The YTW of a fund is the market-weighted average of the YTWs of all the bonds in the portfolio. This measure is gross of fees and excludes yield
on cash.
