Income investment profile
MARCH 31, 2015
Objective
Commentary
This portfolio focuses on generating
income returns, with a secondary
emphasis on inflation protection.
This quarter, the Income profile benefited from rising bond prices, as worries over deflation
and sluggish global economic growth levels drove some investors into the safe haven of
fixed income investments. Decent returns from its diversified equity holdings supported the
profile’s positive returns, particularly its international equities, which were boosted sharply
higher by a weaker Canadian dollar. The European Central Bank’s quantitative easing program
was seen as a positive for the region, improving the outlook for Europe’s economy and equity
markets. Highly stimulative global monetary policies across the globe, solid growth in the
U.S. and a slowly improving European economy are expected to support global equity values.
Emerging markets (EM) should also help given the positive impact of the expected rise in
developed nation demand and EM’s increased competitiveness in light of the sharp rise of the
U.S. dollar.

income and overweight equities relative to our strategic benchmark weightings.
