The long awaited arrival of quantitative easing in the Eurozone was welcomed by the markets, spurring European equities to stage a sharp rally and yields on European government bonds to fall further. On an individual basis there was a broad range of individual contributors to performance. The shares of South African based furniture manufacturer, Steinhoff International, reached new highs on the back of the stronger outlook for European growth. German residential property developer, Grand City Properties, received an investment grade rating from Moody’s. This follows the company’s upgrade to investment grade by Standard & Poor’s in November 2014, affirming our analyst’s positive view on the company’s credit profile. Many of the Fund’s Biotech and Technology investments added to performance in the quarter. Global chip designer NXP Semiconductor launched a takeover bid for competitor Freescale, which received a positive reaction from the rating agencies. The combined entity is forecast to be the world’s 4th largest nonmemory semiconductor supplier with a dominant position in the automotive segment. Although global convertibles have rallied from mid-October lows, we continue to believe that valuations remain at attractive levels. Default predictions remain low and equity markets are being underpinned by rising M&A activity and a benign rate environment. European and Japanese exporters are likely to benefit from the relative weakness of their currency against the U.S. dollar and the lower oil price is helping keep inflation subdued. We believe convertibles will generate strong positive returns again this year. ©2015. Morningstar Research Inc. All Rights Reserved.

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.
