1 SUN LIFE FINANCIAL Granite TM multi-risk target date funds Crafted with plan members in mind For institutional use only

2 Sun Life Financial Granite multi-risk Target Date Funds Crafted with plan members in mind Now more than ever plan members need simple investment solutions to help meet their retirement goals. From persistently low interest rates to unpredictable equity markets, members are facing a difficult investing climate. Throw in the possibility of living longer and increasingly complex investment solutions, and it s no wonder members may be feeling overwhelmed. We recognize your challenge as a plan sponsor is to ensure members have the tools they need to make informed decisions. That s why we ve created Sun Life Financial Granite Multi-Risk Target Date Funds. These solutions feature a range of strategic asset allocations with different time horizons. All the member needs to do is answer two simple questions when do I plan to use the money and what is my risk tolerance? Sun Life Financial Granite Multi-Risk Target Date Funds offer a choice of: eight target dates: 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, 2050, 2055 and one retirement fund three risk profiles: Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive In order to provide even more flexibility, each risk profile target date series is available on a stand-alone basis. Plan sponsors can opt for 5 or 10-year increments. Sun Life Financial Granite Multi-Risk Target Date Funds are designed to provide your members with: A simple one-stop solution that makes investing easy Deep investment expertise to keep funds on track for the long term Broad diversification to help manage risk Fixed income risk profile Aggressive Moderate Conservative Target date (including foreign) Canadian equity U.S. equity Global / International equity Specialty equity Retirement Fund Asset mixes for the funds are as of September 30, 2015 and are subject to change at any time without notice. sun life global investments 2

3 One-stop solution makes investing easy Sun Life Financial Granite Multi-Risk Target Date Funds provide your members with a flexible one-stop investment solution. In order to choose the most appropriate fund, members need to ask themselves two simple questions: When do I plan to use the money? What is my risk tolerance? A strategic asset allocation that changes over time Each fund s ratio of equity to fixed income investments changes over time based on pre-determined guidelines. This evolution is known as a glidepath. As the funds near maturity the fixed income exposure increases, providing greater protection of capital against a major equity market downturn. The more aggressive funds have a higher equity allocation for longer, while the conservative funds move into fixed income earlier. A member who invests in Sun Life Financial Granite 2050 Aggressive Fund, for example, would have a longer investment time horizon and a higher risk tolerance than a member who selects Sun Life Financial Granite 2035 Moderate Fund. In short, Sun Life Financial Granite Multi-Risk Target Date Funds offer members a high degree of customization based on time horizon and risk profile. 100% 90% 80% 95% 95% 95% 94% 90% 90% 90% 85% 85% 87% 90% 80% 79% 82% equity weight 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 70% 55% 65% 42% 69% 49% 35% 52% 38% 31% 30% 20% 10% Risk profiles: Aggressive Moderate Conservative 0% Post Target time remaining in years Date The strategic asset mixes are as of September 30, 2015 and are subject to change at any time without notice. When each fund reaches maturity (June 30 of the targeted year), assets will be transferred to the Sun Life Financial Granite Retirement Fund. The Sun Life Financial Granite Retirement Fund s conservative asset mix is designed to balance capital preservation and growth so that members can draw a stable income for as long as possible. 3 sun life global investments

5 investment process The Sun Life Global Investments Portfolio Management Team follows a disciplined, four-step investment process to build and manage each portfolio. RISK MANAGEMENT Risk is controlled by constructing a series of diversified funds that employ multiple asset classes as well as multiple investment managers with expertise in each of the various asset classes. The portfolio manager will shift holdings in the portfolios to meet their investment objectives while taking on an appropriate level of overall risk. 01 Strategic asset allocation Each portfolio s strategic asset mix, or glidepath, is constructed to provide the most efficient return potential while minimizing negative investment outcomes and managing overall risk. The glidepath for each risk profile series automatically and gradually shifts from a focus on capital growth to fixed income as the fund approaches maturity. In addition, the Retirement Fund is structured for capital preservation while allowing a reasonable withdrawal rate for retirement income Fund/manager selection The team takes advantage of its global relationships to conduct a rigorous selection process. This results in access to the best of class asset managers and funds from around the world, which helps reduce manager specific risks. Tactical Asset Allocation Market conditions are assessed on an ongoing basis to tactically adjust the asset mix and take advantage of potentially attractive opportunities from a risk adjusted and capital protection perspective. Tactical shifts are gradual and are made within pre-determined guidelines, in a risk controlled fashion. Portfolio monitoring and review The underlying funds and their portfolio managers are continually assessed and monitored to ensure each fund s objectives are met. 5 sun life global investments

6 Broad diversification A blend of asset classes intended to generate returns while mitigating risk Sun Life Financial Granite Multi-Risk Target Date Funds are unique in that they deliver broad diversification by asset class, geographic region, sector, manager and style. The funds incorporate non-traditional asset classes such as high yield bonds, emerging markets debt and equities, real estate and infrastructure. The funds are managed with the belief that, from an overall portfolio perspective, a mix of active and passive investments is complementary.
