Price declines of 15%-25% for more speculative oil and gas bonds were common, leading to a contagion effect across many unrelated industry groups. The Fund’s defensive portfolio bias was helpful during this sell-off, although some of our high quality Canadian energy bonds suffered disproportionate mark-downs. This volatility, while jarring, has created some very interesting opportunities for 2015. Currently, the broad high-yield bond index yields approximately 6.75%, or nearly 200 basis points higher than mid-year levels – a vivid illustration of the sharpness of the recent sell-off. In our view, as long as economic growth remains solid, corporate profits remain steady and default rates remain well-behaved, “high quality high yield” can deliver solid performance relative to other fixed income alternatives thanks to the more appealing valuation backdrop. Despite our optimism for high yield bonds, we understand that we may be in the latter innings of the credit cycle, and the prospect of a Fed interest rate hike in 2015 presents potential for further volatility. Accordingly, we will maintain a strong bias to lower-duration, higher-quality issuers while being fairly opportunistic in certain inefficient and dislocated sectors, like best-in-class Canadian energy names. In our experience, it is this opportunism in the face of rampant fear that has allowed the Fund to generate returns in excess of its running yield. ©2015. Morningstar Research Inc.

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 C units of the Fund as of December 31, 2014. Morningstar ratings are overall ratings reflecting risk adjusted performance as of December 31, 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.
