The top performing sectors were Consumer Staples, Industrials and Health Care. During the quarter, underweight exposure to the Canadian Materials sector contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund also benefitted from underweight exposure to Barrick Gold as the price of gold declined during the quarter. Underweight exposure to Agnico Eagle Mines and Teck Resources also proved beneficial. Above benchmark exposure to the Financials sector in the U.S. also added value to Fund performance driven by overweight positions in ETrade Financial and Berkshire Hathaway. The Consumer Staples sector in Canada benefitted from an overweight position in Loblaw. The company delivered better-than-expected samestore-sales amidst improving conditions in the grocery industry. Overweight exposure to the underperforming Energy sector in Canada dragged on Fund performance. Within the sector, overweight positions in underperformers Gear Energy and Trican Well Service were specific detractors. The Health Care sector in the U.S. weighed on relative Fund performance. Detracting from performance was a lack of exposure to Gilead Sciences, which was up 35% in the quarter. An above benchmark position in underperforming St. Jude Medical also detracted from performance. Strong Canadian equity-market returns should be met with some caution, in the view of the portfolio manager, as relatively slow labour-market growth and ever-rising house prices are causes for concern. However, prospects for exports should improve as the U.S. economy strengthens, and the U.S. Federal Reserve has indicated that it will complete its bond-buying program soon and that it will begin raising short-term interest rates next year. ©2014.

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 September 30, 2014. Morningstar ratings are overall ratings reflecting risk adjusted performance as of September 30, 2014. 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.
