Dividend Growth Investing Cambridge Style Stephen Groff Principal & Portfolio Manager Bob Swanson Principal & Chief Market Strategist

Manager checklist ETF Manager 1 Manager 2 Manager alignment Net worth and compensation aligned Active share 88-98% Upside / downside capture See upcoming slide CRM II and the impact on their business Why we are a trusted & aligned partner to help manage through the transition Why we are actually different (active share & quality of returns)

The Cambridge philosophy Active management Conviction in what we own and why we own it Not index focused Nearly 100 years of diversified investment experience on the team Absolute return, downside focused Primary focus is understanding what can go wrong If you invest in good companies the upside takes care of itself Avoiding big losses is the best way to grow wealth over time We are personally aligned Significant holders of our funds We lose money, our pay goes down Focus on absolute returns - Why we are different, summarize what we offer. 3

Macro outlook and insights Summary Continued appetite for income and safety Equities are your new yield investment We favour U.S. equity and U.S.-dollar exposure

U.S. 10-year bond yields Source: FactSet

TSX dividend yields and Canadian 10-year bond yields Source: FactSet

S&P 500 dividend yields and U.S. five-year bond yields Source: FactSet

Fund flows: stocks vs. bonds Source: FactSet

People have been chasing yield High-dividend stocks are the same value as the index for the first time in history

High yield vs. a better company AGF CI Financial 9.1% Dividend yield 3.5% 118% 5-year average payout ratio 70% 1% 5-year average dividend growth 8% -0.2% 5-year average change in share count -2.7% 5% 5-year total return 111% 4% Dividend Aristocrats Index weighting Not in the index Source: Bloomberg, September 2014

Not just about ‘high yield’ Source: ISI Group

Where to find quality dividend candidates Number of companies with consecutive years of dividend growth Number of companies Source: FactSet, August 2014

USD index long-run waves: get long the $ U.S. Federal Reserve’s broad real trade-weighted dollar index since Bretton Woods 17 years 16 years Source: Federal Reserve, Bloomberg, BMO FX Strategy The USD has had about 2.5 cycles in 40 years of floating rates The apparent bottom of the last cycle was 32 months ago and since then the USD has risen a mild 6% The index spending two to four years ‘bumping along the bottom’ before accelerating higher is consistent with previous dollar cycles

Yield  today’s reality Past Future Yield investing was “easy” It won’t be as easy going forward Falling interesting rates  Rising interest rates Compressing spreads  Spreads / defaults at historical lows Rising payout ratios  Elevated payout ratios Rising valuation  High valuations But your clients still need income … so what is the solution? 15

Managing the downside is critical Rolling one-year returns of underlying holdings in Cambridge Canadian Equity Corporate Class vs. TSX, April 2011 to March 2014 Frequency (as percent of total) Downside protection Source: CI Investments

How we find and analyze potential investments Screens Conferences Company meetings Sell side discussions Analyze Public filings (10Ks, Proxies etc.) Transcripts and presentations Site visits In-house management meetings Conferences Financial modelling and analysis Competitor / supplier discussions It is a time-intensive process to vet business models and build relationships with management teams. Our relationships and consistent investment process is a competitive advantage. 20

Cambridge is not benchmark focused Cambridge Canadian Dividend Top holdings as at August 31, 2014 Intact Financial 5.3% Loblaw 4.7% PrairieSky Royalty 4.4% US Bancorp Granite REIT 3.9% TransForce 3.6% Thomson Reuters 3.3% ITC Holdings 3.2% Microsoft 3.1% Agrium 3.0% Total 38.9% Cambridge U.S. Dividend Top holdings as at August 31, 2014 Norfolk Southern 5.3% US Bancorp First Republic Bank 5.2% Thomson Reuters 5.1% Home Depot 4.5% Adecco 4.4% Allison Transmission Holdings 4.0% Microsoft 3.9% United Parcel Service Anheuser-Busch InBev Total 45.3% -Same with the top ten. You probably see a number of names you recognize but the top ten is, I believe. very different from your typical manager. Very different from the TSX and TSX 60. Same with the fund on the right. I will discuss this fund later, it is more small/midcap focused and again, you can see the range of names represented there. Very unique funds with an eclectic mix of companies. So we have flexibility and we are willing to take advantage of it. We are not scared to go against the herd and we are not scared to look different from the benchmark. Source: CI Investments
