2nd Quarter 2015 Outlook
 Given the magnitude of the move in the US dollar, and the corresponding weakness in oil, copper and the Canadian dollar, we are
on watch for a potential relief rally in these markets. We believe the fundamentals of oil supply and demand point to continued low
prices, but monetary stimulus and geopolitical concerns may put a speculative premium back into the oil price. Current expectations are for negative earnings growth in both Canada and the US for Q1 and Q2 of 2015. Given this backdrop, we expect the
overall stock market will continue to struggle to find direction, and believe active stock selection will continue to add alpha. The
Canadian economy will likely continue to be relatively weak as it adjusts to the reality of lower commodity prices. As a result, we
continue to position an underweight exposure to the Canadian banks and focus the portfolio on areas of the Canadian market
which will benefit from the strong US dollar and a gradually improving global economy. These companies keep us focused in
Healthcare, Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials. This positioning is consistent with what we have
expected for the last three quarters. Craig MacAdam, VP Equities
 The cumulative policy easing now in place in advanced economies, improving prospects for Europe to participate in the growth
upswing, stabilization in energy prices, and the growing reluctance by the Fed to guide markets on the timing of its next moves
are among the factors expected to create near term volatility in interest rates. Uncertainty over monetary policy affects the
volatility of short-term rates, while uncertainty over the inflation outlook plays a larger role at the long end of the US yield curve.
These shifting dynamics highlight the benefit of maintaining a well diversified fixed income portfolio with a broad mandate to
pursue global investment themes, multiple strategies to add value, and an active approach in order to reposition the portfolio in
response to changing market conditions. Christine Horoyski , SVP Fixed Income
 The five-year annualized Aurion Real Estate Composite return for the period ending March 31, 2015 was 11.5%. Going forward,
we believe that the income component of return from direct real estate will be generally maintained but the capital growth exhibited during the past several years will not be repeated. Retail real estate has shown some signs of concern with the closing of the
Target stores and the consolidation of Future Shop stores into Best Buy stores. Eric Lerner, SVP Real Estate
