In Financials, an overweight position in Brookfield Property Partners aided returns. The company and a consortium of partners were successful in their bid to acquire Songbird Estates, the majority owner of a large portfolio of properties in London’s Canary Wharf district with an array of development opportunities that could provide meaningful returns to the company in the future. An underweight position in small- and mid-cap resources companies contributed to performance, as declining commodity prices had a negative impact on these companies in the Materials and Energy sectors. In Health Care, an underweight position in Valeant Pharmaceutics hindered performance. The stock gained 50% over the quarter, as the company acquired Salix Pharmaceuticals. In the Industrials sector, an overweight allocation to Newalta detracted from performance as the company’s stock has suffered from the large decline in commodity prices. Expectations for Canadian equity-market returns should remain modest until energy prices convincingly bottom. Oil prices are difficult to forecast in the short run, and it now appears that prices will be lower on average and more volatile than seen in the recent past. A recovery in the price of oil could prompt a rally in the Canadian dollar, but we remain of the view that a weaker Canadian dollar is probably with us for some time. The U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates before the Bank of Canada, as energy markets and a fully valued housing market will remain lingering concerns in Canada. ©2015.

Quartile rankings are determined by Morningstar Research Inc., an independent research firm, based on categories maintained by the Canadian Investment Funds Standards Committee (CIFSC). Quartile rankings are comparisons of the performance of a fund to other funds in a particular category and are subject to change monthly. The quartiles divide the data into four equal segments expressed in terms of rank (1, 2, 3 or 4). This is the Morningstar quartile ranking of Series A units of the Fund as of March 31, 2015. Morningstar ratings are overall ratings reflecting risk adjusted performance as of March 31, 2015. The ratings are subject to change every month. The ratings are calculated for funds with a minimum of 3 years of performance, calculated from the funds' 1 and 3 year average annual returns measured against a 91-day Treasury Bill return with appropriate fee adjustments. The top 10% of the funds in a category receive 5 stars (high); if the funds fall in the next 22.5%,they receive 4 stars (above average); a place in the middle 35% earns a fund 3 stars (neutral or average); those in the next 22.5% receive 2 stars (below average); and the lowest 10% get 1 star (low). Ratings are just one factor to consider when investing. For more information, please see www. morningstar.ca. ® / ™ Trademark(s) of Royal Bank of Canada.
