Conservative investment profile
MARCH 31, 2015
Objective
Commentary
This portfolio focuses on providing income
and the potential for moderate levels of
capital growth.
This quarter, the Conservative profile was lifted by strength in fixed income prices as global
central banks continued with their dovish responses to low growth and worries of deflation.
Exposure to strongly performing international equities, whose returns were boosted by a
weaker Canadian dollar, also helped returns. Despite the weak performance of stocks in the
financial, energy and materials sectors, Canadian stocks held up due to strong performance
in the industrials, consumer and health care sectors. The Bank of Canada moved to offset
the ongoing negative impact of sharply lower oil prices by cutting the overnight rate by a
quarter-percent, surprising markets but lifting bond prices in the process. Accommodative
central bank monetary policies and growing signs a strengthening global economy should
help underpin both bond and equity values moving forward.

Based on our outlook, the asset mix of the Conservative profile continues to be underweight
fixed income and overweight equities relative to our strategic benchmark weightings.
