Standard Investment Restrictions and Practices The remaining standard investment restrictions and practices set out in NI are deemed to be included in this annual information form. A copy of the investment restrictions and practices adopted by the Funds will be provided to you upon request by writing to us at the address shown under Section 1: Name, Formation and History of the Funds Address of the Funds and Mackenzie Investments. Approval of the Independent Review Committee The Mackenzie Funds Independent Review Committee ( IRC ) under has approved a standing instruction to permit the Funds to invest in certain issuers related to Mackenzie Investments as provided for in NI Issuers related to Mackenzie Investments include issuers that control Mackenzie Investments or issuers that are under common control with Mackenzie Investments. Mackenzie Investments has determined that, notwithstanding the specific provisions of NI and the standing instruction that has been adopted, it would be inappropriate for the Funds to invest in securities issued by IGM Financial Inc., which indirectly owns 100% of the outstanding common shares of Mackenzie Investments. The IRC monitors the investment activity of the Funds in related issuers at least quarterly. In its review, the IRC considers whether investment decisions:
22 Have been made free from any influence by, and without taking into account any consideration relevant to, the related issuer or other entities related to the Fund or Mackenzie Investments; Represent the business judgment of Mackenzie Investments, uninfluenced by considerations other than the best interests of the Fund; Have been made in compliance with Mackenzie Investment s policies and the IRC s standing instruction; and Achieve a fair and reasonable result for the Fund. The IRC must notify securities regulatory authorities if it determines that Mackenzie Investments has not complied with any of the above conditions. See Section 10: Fund Governance Mackenzie Funds Independent Review Committee for additional information about the IRC. Change of Investment Objectives A change in a Fund s investment objectives may only be made after first obtaining the consent of a majority of votes cast by that Fund s investors and proxyholders present at a meeting called to consider the change. You will receive prior notice of any other material changes to your Fund. However, in order to reduce the Funds costs, you will not receive notice of routine administrative or compliance changes that would not have an adverse monetary impact on your investment. Eligibility for Registered Plans The Funds are qualified investments within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Tax Act ) for the following plans (collectively referred to as registered plans ): registered retirement savings plans ( RRSPs ); locked-in retirement accounts ( LIRAs ); locked-in retirement savings plans ( LRSPs ); restricted locked-in savings plans ( RLSPs ); registered retirement income funds ( RRIFs ); life income funds ( LIFs ); locked-in retirement income funds ( LRIFs ); prescribed retirement income funds ( PRIFs ); restricted life income funds ( RLIFs ); tax-free savings accounts ( TFSAs ); registered education savings plans ( RESPs ); registered disability savings plans ( RDSPs ); and deferred profit sharing plans ( DPSPs )
23 Holders of registered plans should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether securities of the Funds would be a prohibited investment under the Tax Act in their particular circumstances. Please see the Income Tax Considerations section for more details. Classes of the Corporations 3. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Each Corporation has separate classes of mutual fund shares and separate series of each class. Presently, Capitalcorp has 39 separate classes of mutual fund shares, which constitute 39 funds, of which 6 funds are offered under the simplified prospectus. Investmentcorp has 21 separate classes of mutual fund shares which constitute 21 funds, of which 14 are offered under the simplified prospectus. Each Corporation may offer new funds, new classes and new series at any time. Each Corporate Class Fund is associated with a specific investment portfolio and specific investment objectives. Each Corporate Class Fund is entitled to the total return (including realized and unrealized gains) on the portfolio assets of that Corporate Class Fund less that portion of management fees, administration fees and fund costs attributable to that Corporate Class Fund. The series of each class are entitled to share pro rata in the net return of each class. The shares of each class have the right to receive dividends, when declared, and to receive upon redemption the net asset value ( NAV ) per share of the shares redeemed in priority to the common shares of Capitalcorp. Series of Securities Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of series of securities and may issue an unlimited number of securities within each series. The Funds may offer new series at any time. The expenses of each series of each Fund are tracked separately and a separate security price is calculated for each series. Although the money which you and other investors pay to purchase securities of each series, and the expenses of each series, is tracked on a series by series basis in your Fund s administration records, the assets of all series of your Fund are combined into a single pool to create one portfolio for investment purposes. Within each Fund, there are currently 13 series of securities available under the simplified prospectus D5 series, D8 series, H series, H5 series, H8 series, L series, L5 series, L8 series, N series, N5 series, N8 series, Quadrus series and RB series. The expenses of each series of each Fund are tracked separately and a separate security price is calculated for each series. The particular series currently available within each Fund under the simplified prospectus are listed on the front cover of this annual information form and the simplified prospectus and in Part B of the simplified prospectus
24 for each Fund. The minimum investment and eligibility requirements of the series available, as applicable, under the simplified prospectus are described below. Some of the Funds have additional series which are offered under other simplified prospectuses. Series R and S securities, where available, are only offered on an exempt distribution basis. Some Funds have other series that have been closed to new sales. These series do not appear on the front cover of this annual information form and the simplified prospectus or in Part B of the simplified prospectus for any Fund and are not offered under the simplified prospectus. Dividends and Distributions Generally, a Trust Fund will distribute sufficient net income and net capital gains to investors each year to ensure that the Trust Fund does not pay income tax. The Trust Fund may also distribute returns of capital. The Trust Fund may pay a distribution of net income, net capital gains and/or returns of capital at such time or times as the Fund manager, in its sole discretion, determines. The net income and net capital gains of the Fund will be distributed first to pay any special distributions to investors who are entitled to a management fee, administration fee and/or fund cost reduction. For more information, see Fees, Expenses and Management Expense Reductions. Net capital gains may also be allocated as a redemption distribution to investors who redeem or switch securities provided the capital gain so allocated is not more than the capital gain that the investor would otherwise have realized on the redemption or switch of securities. Any remaining net income or net capital gains of a Trust Fund to be distributed will be allocated among the series of securities of the Trust Fund based on the relative average NAV of the series for the year and distributed pro rata to investors on the distribution payment date, to occur on or about the business day following the distribution record date or dates, at Mackenzie Investment s discretion. All investors who hold securities of a series on the distribution record date for the series will receive the same distribution per security of that series. Generally, a Corporation will only pay ordinary dividends and/or capital gains dividends to the extent necessary to minimize its tax liability. In certain situations, a Corporation may pay taxes rather than paying a dividend to its investors if management determines that it is advantageous to do so and this decision is ratified by the Corporation s Board of Directors. Dividends will be paid in a manner that the Board of Directors of each Corporation, in consultation with its management, determines to be fair and reasonable. Liquidation or Other Termination Rights If a Fund, or a particular series of securities of a Fund is ever terminated, each security that you own will participate equally with each other security of the same series in the assets of the Fund attributable to that series after all of the Fund s liabilities (or
25 those allocated to the series of securities being terminated) have been paid or provided for. Conversion and Redemption Rights Securities of most Funds may be exchanged for other securities of that Fund or another Fund (a switch ) as described in Section 6: Purchases and Switches (Exchanges of Securities) and may be redeemed as described in Section 7: How to Redeem Securities. Voting Rights and Changes Requiring Investor Approval You have the right to exercise one vote for each security held at meetings of all investors of your Fund and at any meetings held solely for investors of that series of securities. We are required to convene a meeting of investors of a Fund to ask them to consider and approve, by not less than a majority of the votes cast at the meeting (either in person or by proxy), any of the following material changes if they are ever proposed for the Fund: a change in the management agreement of the Fund or the entering into of any new contract as a result of which the basis of the calculation of management fee rates or of other expenses that are charged to the Fund or to investors could result in an increase in charges to the Fund or to investors, unless (i) the contract is an arm s length contract with a party other than Mackenzie Investments or an associate or affiliate of Mackenzie Investments for services relating to the operation of the Fund, and (ii) the investors are given at least 60 days written notice of the effective date of the proposed change; a change of the manager of the Fund (other than a change to an affiliate of Mackenzie Investments); any change in the investment objectives of the Fund; any decrease in the frequency of calculating the security price for each series of securities; certain material reorganizations of the Fund; and any other matter which is required by the constating documents of the Fund, by the laws applicable to the Fund, or by any agreement to be submitted to a vote of the investors in the Fund. Other Changes Investors of a Fund will be provided at least 60 days written notice of: a change of auditor of the Fund; and
26 certain reorganizations with, or transfer of assets to, another mutual fund, if the Fund will cease to exist thereafter and securityholders of the Fund will become securityholders of the other fund (otherwise they will require an investor vote). For most Trust Funds except as noted below, we generally must provide at least 30 days notice to investors (unless longer notice requirements are imposed under securities legislation) to amend the applicable Declaration of Trust in the following circumstances: the securities legislation requires that written notice be given to securityholders before the change takes effect; or the change would not be prohibited by the securities legislation and Mackenzie Investments reasonably believes that the proposed amendment has the potential to adversely impact the financial interests or rights of the securityholders, so that it is equitable to give securityholders advance notice of the proposed change. Investors in Corporate Bond Fund (Portico), Canadian Growth Fund (GWLIM), North American Mid Cap Fund (GWLIM), Canadian Bond Fund (Portico), Canadian Diversified Equity Fund (London Capital), and Income Plus Fund (London Capital) are entitled to at least 60 days notice. Investors in Mackenzie Canadian Large Cap Balanced Fund, Mackenzie Canadian Large Cap Growth Fund, Mackenzie Canadian Large Cap Dividend Fund, Mackenzie US Large Cap Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund (Portico) and Money Market Fund are entitled to at least 20 days notice. For most Trust Funds, we are generally entitled to amend the applicable Declaration of Trust without prior approval of or notice to investors in a Trust Fund if we reasonably believe that the proposed amendment does not have the potential to adversely affect investors or: to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations or policies; to protect investors; to remove conflicts or inconsistencies between the Declaration of Trust and any law, regulation or policy affecting the Fund, trustee or its agents; to correct typographical, clerical or other errors; or to facilitate the administration of the Fund or to respond to amendments to the Tax Act which might adversely affect the tax status of the Fund or investors if no change is made
27 4. VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES The portfolio securities of each Fund are valued as at the close of trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX ) (the valuation time ) on each trading day. A trading day is any day that the TSX is open for trading. The value of the portfolio securities and other assets of each Fund is determined by applying the following rules: Cash on hand or on deposit, bills and notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, cash dividends and interest declared or accrued and not yet received are generally valued at their full amount unless we have determined that any of these assets are not worth the full amount, in which event the value shall be deemed to be the value that Mackenzie reasonably deems to be the fair value. Precious metals (certificates or bullion) and other commodities are valued at their fair market value, generally based on prevailing market prices as reported on exchanges or other markets. Portfolio securities listed on a public securities exchange are valued at their close price or last sale price reported before the valuation time on that trading day. If there is no close price and if no sale is reported to have taken place before the valuation time on that trading day, they are valued at the average of the last bid and ask prices reported before that time on that trading day. Unlisted portfolio securities of the Funds traded on an over the counter market are valued at the last sale price reported before the valuation time on that trading day. If no sale is reported to have taken place before the valuation time on that trading day, they are valued at the average of the last bid and ask prices reported before that time on that trading day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if portfolio securities are interlisted or traded on more than one exchange or market, we shall use the close price or last sale price or the average of the last bid and ask prices, as the case may be, reported before the valuation time on the exchange or market determined by Mackenzie Investments to be the principal exchange or market for those securities. Fixed income securities listed on a public securities exchange will be valued at their close price or last sale price before the valuation time on that trading day, or if there is no close price and if no sale is reported to have taken place before the valuation time on that trading day, at the average of the last bid and ask prices before that time on that trading day. Non-exchange traded fixed income securities of the Funds are valued at their fair value based on prices supplied by established pricing vendors, market participants or pricing models, as determined before the valuation time on that trading day
28 Mutual fund securities of Underlying Funds are valued at the price calculated by the manager of the Underlying Fund for the applicable series of securities of the Underlying Fund for that trading day in accordance with the constating documents of the Underlying Fund. Long positions in options, debt-like securities and warrants are valued at the current market value of their positions. Where an option is written by a Fund, the premium received by the Fund for those options is reflected as a deferred credit. The deferred credit is valued at an amount equal to the current market value of the option which would have the effect of closing the position. Any difference resulting from revaluation shall be treated as an unrealized gain or loss on investment. The deferred credit shall be deducted in calculating the NAV of the Fund. The Fund s portfolio securities which are the subject of a written option shall continue to be valued at their current market value as determined by Mackenzie Investments. Foreign currency hedging contracts are valued at their current market value on that trading day with any difference resulting from revaluation being treated as an unrealized gain or loss on investment. The value of a forward contract or swap is the gain or loss on the contract that would be realized if, on that trading day, the position in the forward contract or the swap were to be closed out. The value of a standardized future is, if the daily limits imposed by the futures exchange through which the standardized future was issued are: not in effect, the gain or loss on the standardized future that would be realized if, on that trading date, the position in the standardized future was closed out, or in effect, based on the current market value of the underlying interest of the standardized future. Margin paid or deposited on standardized futures or forward contracts is reflected as an account receivable and margin consisting of assets other than cash is noted as held as margin. Portfolio securities, the resale of which are restricted or limited by means of a representation, undertaking or agreement by the Fund or its predecessor in title or by law, are valued at the lesser of: (i) their value based upon reported quotations in common use on that trading day; and
29 (ii) that percentage of the market value of portfolio securities of the same class or series of a class, the resale of which is not restricted or limited by reason of any representation, undertaking or agreement or by law, equal to the percentage that the Fund s acquisition cost was of the market value of the securities at the time of acquisition, but taking into account, if appropriate, the amount of time remaining until the restricted securities will cease to be restricted securities. Portfolio securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars to reflect the rate of exchange existing on that trading day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are, in Mackenzie Investments opinion, inaccurate, unreliable, not reflective of all available material information or not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined by Mackenzie Investments. If a portfolio security cannot be valued under the foregoing rules or under any other valuation rules adopted under applicable securities laws, or if any rules we have adopted are not set out under applicable securities laws but at any time are considered by us to be inappropriate under the circumstances, then Mackenzie Investments shall use a valuation which it considers to be fair and reasonable in the interests of investors in the Fund. In those circumstances, Mackenzie Investments would typically review current press releases concerning the portfolio security, discuss an appropriate valuation with other portfolio managers, analysts, the Investment Funds Institute of Canada and consult other industry sources to set an appropriate fair valuation. If at any time the foregoing rules conflict with the valuation rules required under applicable securities laws, Mackenzie Investments will follow the valuation rules required under applicable securities laws. The constating documents of each of the Funds contain details of the liabilities to be included in calculating the security price for each series of securities of each of the Funds. The liabilities of a Fund include, without limitation, all bills, notes and accounts payable, all management fees, administration fees and fund costs payable or accrued, all contractual obligations for the payment of money or property, all allowances authorized or approved by us for taxes (if any) or contingencies and all other liabilities of the Fund. Mackenzie Investments will determine in good faith whether such liabilities are series expenses or common expenses of the Funds or, in the case of the Corporate Class Funds, of a Corporation. In calculating the security price for each series of securities, we will use the latest reported information available to us on each trading day. The purchase or sale of portfolio securities by a Fund will be reflected in the first calculation of the security price for each series of securities after the date on which the transaction becomes binding. Mackenzie Investments has not within the past three years exercised its discretion to deviate from the Funds valuation practices described above
30 Differences from Canadian GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) In accordance with amendments to National Instrument , the fair value of a portfolio security used to determine the daily price of the Fund s securities for purchases and redemptions by investors will be based on the Fund s valuation principles set out above, which are not the same as the Canadian GAAP requirements. Hence, the reported value of securities held by a Fund in annual and interim financial statements may differ. 5. CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE The NAV of a Fund, as of any valuation time, is the market value of the Fund s assets less its liabilities. After the close of business on each trading day, we will calculate a separate NAV for each series of each Fund because management fees, administration fees and fund costs for each series are different. For each series of each Fund, the NAV per security is calculated by: adding up the series proportionate share of the cash, portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund; subtracting the liabilities applicable to that series of securities (which includes the series proportionate share of common liabilities, plus liabilities directly attributable to the series); and dividing the net assets by the total number of securities of that series owned by investors. The NAV per security applied to purchase and redemption orders of each series of securities of each Fund (except as noted in the next paragraph) will generally increase or decrease on each trading day as a result of changes in the value of the portfolio securities owned by the Fund. When dividends or distributions (other than management expense distributions) are declared by a Fund, the NAV per security will decrease by the per security amount of the dividends or distributions on the payment date. We intend to maintain the security price of each series of securities of Money Market Fund at a constant $10 Canadian. This Fund follows the amortized cost method of valuing its portfolio securities and net income of the Fund is allocated daily to each series of securities and then distributed to investors monthly in the form of additional securities of the Fund unless, prior to the distribution, an investor requests payment by cheque
31 The NAV per security for purchases and redemptions of securities of the Funds is the security price first calculated after the receipt by Mackenzie Investments of all appropriate documents pertaining to a purchase or redemption order. That NAV of each Fund and the NAV per security is available to the public by calling for no cost. Purchase of Securities 6. PURCHASES AND SWITCHES (EXCHANGES OF SECURITIES) Securities of the Funds may be purchased by contacting your Quadrus representative or Quadrus authorized representative. Mackenzie is not liable for the recommendations given to you by your Quadrus representative or Quadrus authorized representative. There are three available purchase options for Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series and RB series securities: the sales charge purchase option, where you may be required to pay a negotiable sales charge to Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer; the redemption charge purchase option, where a fixed commission will be paid to Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer on your behalf at the time of your purchase, and you may be required to pay a redemption charge to reimburse us for that commission if you redeem your securities within seven years; or the low-load purchase option, where we will pay a fixed commission to Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer on your behalf at the time of your purchase, and you may be required to pay a redemption charge to reimburse us for that commission if you redeem your securities within three years. L series, L5 series, L8 series, N series, N5 series and N8 series are only available under the sales charge purchase option. In addition, for N series, N5 series or N8 series securities purchases, you must have entered into an N series Account Agreement with Mackenzie and Quadrus which sets out the management fees, administration fees, fund costs and Quadrus service fee applicable to your account. H series, H5 series and H8 series are only sold on a no load basis ( no load purchase option ), which means you pay no sales charge when you buy or sell. For H series, H5 series, or H8 series securities purchases, you must be enrolled in a Quadrussponsored fee-for-service or wrap program, be subject to an asset based fee and your Quadrus authorized dealer has entered into an agreement with Mackenzie Investments relating to the distribution of these securities
32 The security price on the purchase of securities is based on the Fund s next calculation of NAV for the series of securities after your purchase or switch order has been received in good order. Mackenzie Investments must receive the application form and money within three trading days of your purchase order (one trading day for money market funds). If we have not received payment by the end of the third trading day (one trading day for money market funds) after your purchase order is placed, we are required by law to redeem the securities on the next trading day. If the amount received on the redemption exceeds what you would have paid for the securities, the Fund must keep the surplus. However, if your purchase obligation exceeds the amount received on the redemption (which will occur if the Fund s security price has declined since the date of your purchase order), Quadrus or a Quadrus authorized dealer will be required to pay the Fund the amount of the deficiency, plus any additional expenses of processing the redemption order. Quadrus or a Quadrus authorized dealer may require you to pay this amount if you were the cause of the failed purchase order. Details of the purchase options and instructions on how to submit a purchase order are set out in the simplified prospectus under the heading Purchases, Switches and Redemptions. Compensation Paid to Your Dealer Your selection of purchase options will affect the level of compensation which Quadrus or a Quadrus authorized dealer is entitled to receive initially on the purchase transaction, and thereafter so long as you hold securities in the Funds. Please refer to Part A of the simplified prospectus for more information on how dealers are compensated by Mackenzie Investments for the sale of the Funds. How to Switch Securities between Funds You can switch among the mutual fund securities of the Funds for which you are eligible by contacting your Quadrus representative or Quadrus authorized representative who will pass your instructions on to us. You should know the following information about switches: If the securities you want to switch were bought under the redemption charge purchase option or the low-load purchase option, your new securities will have the same redemption charge schedule. If the new securities are not available under the redemption charge purchase option or the low-load purchase option, as applicable, you will have to pay any applicable redemption charges on the securities you redeem before your new securities are issued
33 Quadrus or a Quadrus authorized dealer can charge you a switch fee of up to 2% of the value of the securities switched for the services which it provides you on the switch. Securities you bought under the sales charge purchase option/no load purchase option should only be switched for other securities under the sales charge purchase option and/or the no load purchase option. Securities you bought under the redemption charge purchase option should only be switched for other securities under the redemption charge purchase option (if those securities are available under that purchase option). Securities you bought under the low-load purchase option should only be switched for other securities under the low-load purchase option (if those securities are available under that purchase option). If you follow these rules, you will avoid having to pay any unnecessary additional sales charges. Switches among purchase options are permitted under certain circumstances. Please read the simplified prospectus of the Funds. You may not switch securities you bought under the redemption charge purchase option to other securities to be purchased under the low-load purchase option and you may not switch securities you bought under the low-load purchase option to other securities to be purchased under the redemption charge purchase option. The security price on a switch of securities is based on the Fund s first calculation of NAV for the series of securities after your switch order has been received in good order. How to Switch Securities from One Series to another Series within the Same Fund You can switch your securities of a series of a Fund into securities of another series of the same Fund by contacting your Quadrus representative or Quadrus authorized representative who will pass your instructions on to us promptly. You should know the following information about switches between series of the same Fund: You can switch securities of another series of a Fund into H series, H5 series or H8 series securities only if you are an eligible investor for the H series, H5 or H8 series securities. Please see Section 3: Description of Securities Series of Securities for a list of the categories of investors who are eligible to purchase H series, H5 series or H8 series securities or ask your Quadrus representative or Quadrus authorized representative. You can switch securities of a series of a Fund into N series, N5 series or N8 series securities of the same Fund if you qualify to purchase N series, N5 series or N8 series securities. Before switching any Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities into H series, H5 series, H8 series, L series, L5 series, L8 series, N series, N5 series, or N8 series securities, you will have to pay any applicable
34 redemption charges if you purchased those securities under the redemption charge purchase option or the low-load purchase option because H series, H5 series, H8 series, L series, L5 series, L8 series, N series, N5 series or N8 series securities are not available under the redemption charge purchase option or the low-load purchase option. Prior to the expiry of the redemption charge or low-load purchase option schedules, switches are not permitted between Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities purchased under the sales charge purchase option and Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities purchased under the redemption charge purchase option or the low-load purchase option of the same Fund other than redemption charge securities eligible for the free redemption amount as described under Section 7: How to Redeem Securities. The free redemption amount is not available for securities purchased under the low-load purchase option. In addition, once the redemption charge schedule is complete your redemption charge securities may be switched to sales charge securities or another available series of securities without increased costs to you. Your dealer is paid a higher trailing commission on sales charge securities and may be paid a higher trailing commission if your redemption charge securities are switched into another series of securities. Switches are also not permitted between Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities purchased under the low-load purchase option and Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities purchased under the redemption charge purchase option. The following table summarizes which switch transactions will be taxable to you: Type of Switch Taxable Non-Taxable From one series to another series of the same Fund From one Corporate Class Fund to another Corporate Class Fund that is part of the same Corporation All other switches A switch that is a taxable transaction consists of a redemption of the securities of the Fund you own and a purchase of the securities of the new fund. See the Income Tax Considerations section of this document. Switches from a Fund may accelerate the time at which the Fund, or in the case of a Corporate Class Fund, the Corporation of which that Corporate Class Fund is a part, realizes gains and pays capital gains distributions or dividends. See the Income Tax Considerations section of this document.

36 Redemption of Securities 7. HOW TO REDEEM SECURITIES The instructions for submitting an order to redeem your securities are contained in the simplified prospectus under the heading Purchases, Switches and Redemptions. The amount which you will receive for your redemption order is based on the Fund s NAV for that series of securities next calculated after your redemption order has been received in good order. Your redemption order must be in writing or, if you have made arrangements with your dealer, by electronic means through your dealer. If you have a security certificate, you must present the certificate at the time of your redemption request. To protect you from fraud, for redemptions above certain dollar amounts, your signature on your redemption order (and certificate, if applicable) must be guaranteed by one of a bank, trust company, member of a recognized stock exchange or any other organization satisfactory to Mackenzie Investments. If you request more than one redemption at a time, your redemption requests will be processed in the order in which they are received. Redemption orders involving transfers to or from registered plans may be delayed until all administrative procedures involved with registered plans are complete. If we do not receive everything we need to complete your redemption order within 10 trading days after the redemption date, under securities law we are required on that tenth trading day to purchase the same number of securities which you redeemed. We will apply your redemption proceeds to the payment required for those securities. If the security price has decreased since the redemption date, the Fund must keep the excess proceeds. If the security price has increased since that date, you, Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer will be required to pay the Fund the deficiency and any additional expenses of processing the repurchase order. Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer may require you to pay this amount if you were the cause of the failed redemption order. If the market value of your investment no longer meets the specified minimum investment required because you redeem securities, Mackenzie Investments may, at its discretion, redeem your securities, close your account and return the proceeds of the redemption to you. Mackenzie Investments will not redeem your securities if their value drops below the specified minimum investment requirement as a result of a decline in the NAV per security rather than a redemption of your securities. Sales Charge Purchase Option If you paid Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer a sales charge at the time of purchase, there is no charge to redeem your securities
37 Redemption Charge Purchase Option and Low-load Purchase Option If you bought your Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities under the redemption charge purchase option or the low-load purchase option, then you did not pay Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer a sales charge at the time of purchase. Instead, we paid that sales charge to Quadrus or your Quadrus authorized dealer on your behalf. Therefore, if you redeem your securities within seven years of their issue date in the case of redemption charge securities, or within three years of their issue date in the case of low-load securities, you may be required to pay us a redemption charge based on the percentages set out in the simplified prospectus under Fees and Expenses to compensate us for that payment. Some redemptions may be made without a redemption charge, as described below under Free Redemption Amount. The free redemption amount is not available for securities purchased under the low-load purchase option. We follow the rules listed below to automatically reduce your redemption charges for all Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities which you purchase under the redemption charge purchase option or the low-load purchase option: we will always redeem any available free redemption amounts (under the redemption charge purchase option only) first; then, we will redeem securities you bought the earliest; we will give your securities acquired as an automatic reinvestment of Fund distributions the same date of issue as the securities on which the distribution was paid; and securities which you switch will be given the same date of issue as the securities which you owned before the switch If you want to know more about the calculation of redemption charges, please call your Quadrus representative or Quadrus authorized representative. No Load Purchase Option For H series, H5 series and H8 series there is no charge to redeem your securities. Free Redemption Amount If you are an investor holding Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities of a Fund purchased under the redemption charge purchase option, you can redeem the following amounts of those series of securities of a Fund every year without paying a redemption charge (the free redemption amount ):
38 up to 10% of the market value of those Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities of a Fund which you owned as of December 31 of the previous calendar year; plus up to 10% of the cost of your new purchases of those Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities of that Fund in the current calendar year before the redemption order; less any cash dividends or distributions from those Quadrus series, D5 series, D8 series or RB series securities of the Fund that you received on those series of securities of that Fund in the current year. If your free redemptions plus cash dividends or distributions received exceed your free redemption amount in a given year, the excess will carry forward to reduce your free redemption amount in the following year. You cannot carry forward any unused portion of the free redemption amount to another year. If Mackenzie Investments changes the terms of the free redemption amount program, we will give you 60 days prior notice. Some investors may not be eligible to receive the free redemption amount if they switched securities of other Quadrus Funds without a free redemption right into securities of the Funds. Please refer to the simplified prospectus and annual information form of the funds originally purchased to determine whether you are eligible. The free redemption amount is not available for securities purchased under the low-load purchase option. Suspension of Redemption Rights Mackenzie Investments may suspend the redemption of securities of a Fund or may postpone the date of payment upon redemption (i) during any period when normal trading is suspended on a stock exchange, options exchange or futures exchange within or outside Canada on which securities are listed and traded, or on which specified derivatives are traded, which represent more than 50% by value or underlying market exposure of the total assets of the Fund without allowance for liabilities, and if those portfolio securities are not traded on any other exchange that represents a reasonably practical alternative for the Fund, or (ii) with the prior permission of the Ontario Securities Commission. For the purpose of making this determination, the Fund will also be considered to own directly the securities owned by (i) any Underlying Fund whose securities are owned by the Fund and (ii) any Reference Funds to which the Fund has market exposure. During any period of suspension there will be no calculation of the security price for any series of securities of the Fund and the Fund will not be permitted to issue, redeem or switch any securities. The issue, redemption and switch of securities and the calculation of the security price for each series of securities will resume when trading resumes on the exchanges referred to in (i) or when the Ontario Securities Commission declares the suspension in (ii) ended
39 In the event of a suspension: if you have placed a purchase order for a series of securities of the Fund, you may either withdraw the purchase order prior to termination of the suspension or receive securities of the series based on the series NAV per security next calculated after the termination of the suspension; and if you have requested the redemption or switch of securities of the Fund but the redemption or switch proceeds cannot be calculated because of the suspension, you may either withdraw your request prior to termination of the suspension or: (i) (ii) in the case of redemption, receive payment based on the series NAV per security, less the applicable redemption charge, if any, next calculated after the termination of the suspension; or in the case of a switch, have the securities switched on the basis of the series NAV per security next calculated after the termination of the suspension. If we have received your redemption request and the redemption proceeds have been calculated prior to a suspension, but payment of the redemption proceeds has not yet been made, the Fund will pay your redemption proceeds to you during the suspension period.

Most often those agents are sub-advisers with specialized skills or geographic expertise pertinent to local markets who provide portfolio management services and portfolio security selection for all or part of a Fund s portfolio. As manager of the Funds, we determine the terms of engagement and compensation payable by the Funds to those agents. In the case of sub-advisers, we are responsible for payment of their compensation out of our management fees received from the Funds and for monitoring their compliance with the Funds investment objectives and strategies, but we do not pre-approve their trades on behalf of the Funds.

Each of the portfolio managers has primary responsibility for the investment advice given to the accounts that he/she manages or co-manages. On a continuing basis, each portfolio manager evaluates the accounts for which he/she has responsibility, including the percentage that is invested in a type of security generally or in a particular security, diversification of holdings among industries and, in general, the makeup of the account. Under securities law Mackenzie Investments is required to advise you that there may be difficulty enforcing legal rights against a portfolio manager or sub-adviser if the portfolio manager or sub-adviser is resident outside Canada and has not registered with a securities authority in Canada. At present, Ivy Investment Management Company, a subsidiary of Waddell & Reed, Financial Inc., Putnam Investments Limited, Setanta Asset Management Limited, and The Putnam Advisory Company LLC are the only sub
44 advisers of the Funds not registered with a securities authority in Canada. As manager of the Funds, Mackenzie Investments is responsible for the sub-advisers compliance with the overall investment objectives and strategies of the Funds, but does not provide prior approval or review of specific portfolio security investment decisions taken by any sub-adviser. Mackenzie Investments and the sub-advisers also provide portfolio management services to other mutual funds and private accounts. If the availability of any particular portfolio security is limited and that security is appropriate for the investment objective of more than one mutual fund or private account, the securities will be allocated among them on a pro rata basis or other equitable basis having regard to whether the security is currently held in any of the portfolios, the relevant size and rate of growth of the accounts and any other factors which they consider reasonable. Details of the portfolio management agreements entered into between Mackenzie Investments and the sub-adviser firms are set out below and in Section 14: Material Contracts. The tables below describe the portfolio manager or sub-adviser and their principal location and the lead portfolio managers for each Fund, their years of service with that firm and their most recent five years business experience.

56 Brokerage Arrangements Generally, brokerage transactions for the Funds are arranged by Mackenzie Investments, or where applicable, the sub-advisers through a large number of brokerage firms. Brokerage fees for the Funds are usually paid at the most favourable rates available to Mackenzie Investments, or the respective sub-advisers, based on their respective entire volumes of fund trading as managers and/or portfolio managers of significant mutual fund and other assets and subject to the rules of the appropriate stock exchange. Many of the brokerage firms who carry out brokerage transactions for the Funds also sell securities of those Funds to their clients. Investment portfolio brokerage transactions carried out by Funds for which Mackenzie Investments has appointed a sub-adviser will be allocated by the sub-advisers in accordance with their existing brokerage policies. From time to time Bluewater, GLC, Mackenzie Investments, Putnam, Sionna and Waddell also allocate brokerage transactions to compensate brokerage firms for general investment research, including provision of industry and company analysis, economic reports, statistical data pertaining to the capital markets, portfolio reports and portfolio analytics, trading data and other services that assist them in carrying out their respective investment decision-making services to the Funds for which they respectively provide portfolio management services. They will allocate those transactions with appropriate regard to the principles of a reasonable brokerage fee, benefits to the Funds and best execution of the brokerage transactions. They will attempt to allocate the Funds brokerage business on an equitable basis bearing in mind the above principles. They are not under a contractual obligation to allocate brokerage business to any specific brokerage firm. Other than fund-on-fund investments for certain Mackenzie Funds, brokerage transactions are not carried out through Mackenzie Investments or any companies which are affiliated with Mackenzie Investments. Since the date of the last annual information form, certain third party companies provided certain services to Bluewater, GLC, Mackenzie Investments, Putnam, Sionna and Waddell on behalf of the Funds and paid for by the Funds (also known as soft dollars ) including the provision of industry and company analysis, economic reports, statistical data pertaining to the capital markets, portfolio reports and portfolio analytics. For more information and to obtain the name of these companies you can contact us at or by at [email protected]. Please note that Mackenzie Investments faces a potential conflict of interest by obtaining services using soft dollars. This conflict exists because Mackenzie Investments is able to use these services to manage the Funds without paying cash for these services. This reduces Mackenzie Investment's expenses to the extent that Mackenzie Investments would have paid for these services directly had they not been paid for using soft dollars. Certain Funds may generate soft dollars used to purchase services that ultimately benefit other Funds, effectively cross subsidizing the other Funds that benefit directly from the service. For instance, fixed income funds normally do not generate soft dollars to pay for products. Therefore, where services used to manage fixed income funds are paid for using soft dollars, the soft dollars have been generated entirely by equity funds. In
57 other words, the fixed income funds receive the benefit of these services even though they have been paid for by the equity funds. Principal Distributor Quadrus is the principal distributor of the securities of each of the Funds offered under the simplified prospectus. Quadrus is located at 255 Dufferin Avenue, London, Ontario N6A 4K1 ( ). Details of the principal distributor agreement are set out in Section 14: Material Contracts. Trustee Mackenzie Investments is the trustee of the Trust Funds. Under the Declarations of Trust for the Trust Funds, the trustee may resign upon 60 days or 90 days notice, as applicable, and for certain Trust Funds, the trustee may also be removed by the manager upon 60 days or 90 days notice, as applicable. Certain of the Trust Funds Declarations of Trust state that in instances where the trustee resigns in favour of an affiliate, prior notice or investor approval is not required. See also Section 3: Voting Rights and Changes Requiring Investor Approval Other Changes. Custodian Pursuant to a Master Custodian Agreement between Mackenzie Investments, on behalf of the Funds, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC"), Toronto, Ontario, CIBC has agreed to act as custodian for the Funds. The details of the Master Custodian Agreement are set out in Section 14: Material Contracts. The custodian receives and holds all cash, portfolio securities and other assets of each Fund for safekeeping and will act upon the instructions of Mackenzie Investments with respect to the investment and reinvestment of each Fund s assets from time to time. Under the terms of the custodian agreement and subject to the requirements of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the custodian may appoint one or more subcustodians to facilitate effecting portfolio transactions outside of Canada. The fees for custody safekeeping services are calculated on an individual Fund basis according to that Fund s cash and securities on deposit with the custodian and paid by Mackenzie Investments out of the Administration Fee it receives from the Funds. The fees for securities transactions are calculated on an individual Fund basis according to the portfolio security transactions undertaken for the Fund and are paid by the Funds. Other than gold bullion, silver bullion, platinum bullion, palladium bullion, and cash or securities that may be deposited as margin, CIBC will hold all of the Funds Canadian cash, securities and other assets in Toronto. Foreign securities and related cash accounts will be held either at an office of CIBC or by its sub-custodians. The Bank of Nova Scotia (the Bullion Custodian ), or an affiliate or a division thereof will be appointed the custodian of the physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion owned by Mackenzie Precious Metals Class and Mackenzie Canadian Resource Fund pursuant to a sub-custodian agreement (the Bullion Custodian
58 Agreement ) with the Custodian and the Manager. The physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion will be stored in the vault of the Bullion Custodian on an allocated and segregated basis. The term vault means a high security facility ordinarily in use by the Bullion Custodian for the safekeeping and storage of physical bullion. The physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion will be held in locations in Canada, London, England and/or New York, U.S.A. The Bullion Custodian maintains insurance on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate against all risk of physical loss of, or damage to, bullion stored in its vaults except the risk of war, nuclear incident, terrorism events or government confiscation. None of the Manager, the Funds, nor the Custodian is a beneficiary of any such insurance and none of them have the ability to dictate the existence, nature or amount of coverage.

The Audit Committee may, from time to time, engage consultants (legal, financial, or otherwise) to assist it in fulfilling its duties. Mackenzie Investments generally pays for these expenses. Fund Oversight Committee of the Board The Board of Mackenzie Investments has established the Fund Oversight Committee to assist the Board and Mackenzie Investments to fulfill Mackenzie Investments obligations in its role as the manager and/or trustee of the Mackenzie Funds. The Fund Oversight Committee consists of all members of the Board of Directors and the Chair of the Fund Oversight Committee is a member of the Board that is independent of management. The Fund Oversight Committee: Supervises Mackenzie Investments activities in respect of its obligations in managing the Mackenzie Funds, which are based on laws and regulation, the constating documents of the Mackenzie Funds and the continuous disclosure documents of the Mackenzie Funds (such as prospectuses, annual information forms, fund facts documents management reports of fund performance, etc.). The Fund Oversight Committee has also created sub-committees to review prospectuses, information circulars and other continuous disclosure documents prepared for investors and potential investors;
76 Meets several times a year and reviews policies adopted by Mackenzie Investments and reports relating to Mackenzie Investments compliance with those policies, including policies and procedures relating to conflicts of interest as required by NI The principal policies include valuation of portfolio securities for the Mackenzie Funds, the use of derivative instruments by the Mackenzie Funds the use of securities lending by the Mackenzie Funds, proxy voting policies for the Mackenzie Funds, the allocation of trades on behalf of the Mackenzie Funds and the restrictions imposed on personal trading by officers and others with access to the Mackenzie Funds trading activities (which are contained in the Business Conduct Policy). The restrictions on personal trading comply with the standards for the mutual fund industry set by the Investment Funds Institute of Canada.

Mackenzie Investments generally pays for these expenses. The Corporations In addition to the oversight of the operations of each Corporation required to be carried out by Mackenzie Investments under the Securities Act (Ontario), each Corporation also has a Board of Directors, with all of the regular duties imposed upon directors of a business corporation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Under that Act, the directors must act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the investors in the Funds, and must exercise the degree of care, diligence and skill that
77 a reasonably prudent person would exercise in the same circumstances. To help them carry out their obligations to the Fund s investors, the directors of each Corporation have engaged Mackenzie Investments as manager of those Funds and as the Funds transfer agent and registrar. The Board of Directors of each Corporation is the same as Mackenzie Investments. Please see Directors and Officers of Mackenzie. Mackenzie Funds Independent Review Committee Under NI , mutual funds are required to form an independent review committee to review, among other things, conflict of interest matters to provide impartial judgment on these matters to Mackenzie Investments, in its role as manager of the Mackenzie Funds. Mackenzie has created the IRC, which consists of four members: Robert Hines (Chair), George Hucal, Martin Taylor and Scott Edmonds. The IRC reviews potential conflicts of interest referred to it by Mackenzie as manager of the Mackenzie Funds, and makes recommendations on whether a course of action achieves a fair and reasonable result for the applicable Mackenzie Funds and only upon making that determination does it recommend to Mackenzie Investments that the transaction proceed. This includes potential transactions as well as regular review of Mackenzie Investments policies and procedures relating to conflicts of interest. NI specifically permits Mackenzie Investments to submit proposals to the IRC to cause a Mackenzie Fund to directly purchase or sell securities to another Mackenzie Fund without using a broker, although, to date, Mackenzie Investments has not taken advantage of this provision. Also, as noted under Investment Restrictions the IRC has approved standing instructions to permit the Mackenzie Funds to invest in securities of companies related to Mackenzie Investments. NI also permits the IRC, upon referral by Mackenzie Investments, to consider proposals to change the auditor of a Mackenzie Fund or to approve mergers between Mackenzie Funds. In most cases, if the IRC approves these changes, a vote of investors would not be required; rather, investors would be given 60 days prior notice of the changes. Supervision of Securities Lending, Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions Many of the Funds are permitted to enter into securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions consistent with its investment objective and in compliance with the applicable provisions of NI Mackenzie Investments has appointed the Funds custodian as the Funds agent and has entered into an agreement with that agent to administer any securities lending and repurchase transactions for that Fund (a Securities Lending Agreement ). Those Funds also may enter into reverse repurchase transactions directly or through an agent. The Securities Lending Agreement complies with and the agent is bound to comply with the applicable provisions of NI Mackenzie Investments will manage the risks associated with securities lending, repurchase and reverse
78 repurchase transactions (which are described under General Investment Risks in the simplified prospectus) by requiring the agent to: maintain internal controls, procedures and records including a list of approved counterparties based on generally accepted creditworthiness standards, transaction and credit limits for each counterparty and collateral diversification standards; establish daily the market value of both the securities loaned by a Fund under a securities lending transaction or sold by a Fund under a repurchase transaction and the cash or collateral held by a Fund. If on any day the market value of the cash or collateral is less than 102% of the market value of the borrowed or sold securities, the agent will request that the counterparty provide additional cash or collateral to the Fund to make up the shortfall; and ensure that a Fund does not loan or sell more than 50% of the total assets of that Fund through securities lending or repurchase transactions (without including the collateral for loaned securities and cash for sold securities). Securities lending and reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by the agent on behalf of the Funds and Mackenzie Investments monitors the risks of these transactions. To facilitate monitoring, the agent provides Mackenzie Investments with regular and comprehensive reports summarizing the transactions involving securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchases. Mackenzie Investments Fund Services and Legal Departments have created written policies and procedures that set out the objectives and goals for securities lending, repurchase transactions or reverse repurchase transactions and the risk management and oversight procedures applicable where the Funds engage in these transactions. Mackenzie Investments Legal, Compliance and Fund Services Departments are responsible for reviewing the Securities Lending Agreement. Mackenzie Investments Board of Directors will receive reports, if any, regarding compliance exceptions in connection with the Funds use of securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions. At present, Mackenzie Investments does not simulate stress conditions to measure risk in connection with securities lending, repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions. Risk measurement procedures or simulations are conducted by the agent in respect of loans outstanding and the collateral lodged by each borrower and across all borrowers in the agents overall securities lending and repurchase portfolios. These procedures and simulations include the Funds securities but are not specific to the Funds
79 Supervision of Derivatives Trading Mackenzie Investments has adopted various policies and internal procedures to supervise the use of derivatives within its fund portfolios. All policies and procedures comply with the derivative rules set out in NI or as modified by any exemptions to NI granted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Mackenzie Investments has established an approval process for the use of derivatives before derivatives can be used in the Funds to ensure compliance with NI or any exemptions to NI granted by the Canadian Securities Administrators and to ensure that the derivative is suitable for the Fund within the context of the Fund s objectives and investment strategies. Mackenzie Investments Fund Services Department records, values, monitors and reports on the derivative transactions that are entered into the Fund s portfolio records. We have established threshold education and experience requirements for all staff who perform activities related to the valuation, monitoring, reporting and overall supervision of derivatives trading, to ensure that those operations are carried out prudently and efficiently. A Fund Services staff member enters all derivative trade information and these trade entries and valuations are reviewed at the time of initial entry by a qualified staff member who has met threshold education and experience requirements. Valuations of derivative securities are carried out according to the procedures described under Section 4: Valuation of Portfolio Securities. A monthly derivative trading report is prepared on a fund-by-fund basis identifying Fund derivative activity, credit rating analysis, concentration levels and compliance with regulatory requirements. Exceptions are identified along with applicable corrective action undertaken. Copies of the monthly report are provided to the designated Senior Vice-President, Investments, the Chief Financial Officer, Funds and the Compliance Department within Mackenzie Investments. A summary of the reports and analysis of the overall use of derivatives by the Funds will be reviewed by the Fund Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors of Mackenzie Investments at least annually. Under NI , mutual funds may engage in derivative transactions for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. Where an external advisory firm is engaged by Mackenzie Investments to provide portfolio management services to the Funds and that firm trades in derivative securities (or other securities) for the Funds, under NI Mackenzie Investments will be responsible for ensuring that all trading for the Funds by the sub-advisers is suitable to the Funds objectives and strategies. When derivatives are acquired for hedging purposes, our internal policies require that the derivatives have at least a 75% degree of negative correlation to the position being hedged. Derivatives will not be used to create leverage within the Fund s portfolio unless permitted under NI Mackenzie Investments does not simulate stress conditions to measure risk in connection with the Funds use of derivatives. The designated Senior Vice-President,
80 Investments oversees the compliance with the derivatives policies and procedures by the portfolio managers (internal) and the external advisory firms. Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures The Funds managed by internal portfolio managers at Mackenzie Investments ( Internal Managers ) follow the proxy voting policies and procedures mandated by Mackenzie Investments. Mackenzie Investments objective is to vote the securities of companies for which we have proxy-voting authority in a manner most consistent with the long-term economic interest of Fund investors. Voting Practices Mackenzie Investments takes reasonable steps to vote all proxies received. However, Mackenzie Investments cannot guarantee that it will vote in all circumstances. Mackenzie Investments may refrain from voting where administrative or other procedures result in the costs of voting outweighing the benefits. Mackenzie Investments may also refrain from voting if in its opinion abstaining or otherwise withholding its vote is in the best interests of Fund investors. Fund of Fund Voting Mackenzie Investments may vote the securities of an Underlying Fund owned by a Fund when the Underlying Fund is not managed by Mackenzie Investments. If an Underlying Fund is managed by Mackenzie or one of its associates or affiliates, Mackenzie Investments will not vote the securities of the Underlying Fund, but will decide if it is in the best interests of the Fund investors for them to vote on the matter individually. Generally, for routine matters, Mackenzie Investments will decide that it is not in the best interests of the Fund investors for them to vote individually. However, if Mackenzie Investments decides that it is in the best interests of the Fund investors for them to vote, then Mackenzie Investments will ask each Fund investor for instructions on how to vote that investor s proportionate share of the Underlying Fund securities owned by the Fund and will vote accordingly. Mackenzie Investments will only vote the proportion of the Underlying Fund securities for which Mackenzie Investments has received instructions. Summary of Proxy Voting Policies Below is a statement of principles that generally describe how Mackenzie Investments may vote on some commonly raised issues. Mackenzie Investments may elect to vote contrary to these guidelines provided the vote is in the best economic interest of the Fund
81 Mackenzie Investments generally votes in favour of: proposals that support a majority of Board members being independent of management; the appointment of outside directors to an issuer Board or Audit Committee; as well as requirements that the Chair of the Board be separate from the office of the Chief Executive Officer. Proxies related to executive compensation are voted on a case-by-case basis. Generally, Mackenzie Investments will vote in favour of stock options and other forms of compensation that: do not result in a potential dilution of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares; are granted under clearly defined and reasonable terms; are commensurate with the duties of plan participants; and are tied to the achievement of corporate objectives. Mackenzie Investments will generally not support: the repricing of options; plans that give the Board broad discretion in setting the terms of the grant of options; or plans that authorize allocation of 20% or more of the available options to any individual in any single year. Mackenzie Investments will generally vote in favour of shareholder rights plans designed to provide sufficient time to undertake a fair and complete shareholder value maximization process and that do not merely seek to entrench management or deter a public bidding process. In addition, Mackenzie Investments will generally support plans that promote the interests and equal treatment of all investors, and that allow for periodic shareholder ratification. Mackenzie Investments will evaluate and vote on shareholder proposals on a case-by-case basis. All proposals on financial matters will be given consideration. Generally, proposals that place arbitrary or artificial constraints on the company will not be supported. Conflicts of Interest Circumstances may occur where a Mackenzie Fund has a potential conflict of interest relative to its proxy voting activities. Where an Internal Manager has a conflict or potential conflict, he or she will notify Mackenzie Investments Chief Investment Officer ( CIO ), and either the Vice-President, Legal ( VP, Legal ) or the Chief Compliance Officer ( CCO ). Should the CIO and either the VP, Legal or the CCO conclude that a conflict exists, the CCO will document the conflict and inform Mackenzie Investments Fund Services Department. The Fund Services Department will maintain a Proxy Voting Watch List ( Watch List ) that includes the names of issuers that may be in conflict and will notify the CIO, and either the VP, Legal or CCO of any meeting circulars and proxies received from an issuer on the Watch List. The CIO and either the VP, Legal or CCO will discuss the voting matter(s) with the Internal Manager or sub-adviser and ensure that the proxy
82 voting decision is based on Mackenzie Investments proxy voting policies and is in the best interests of the Mackenzie Fund. All voting decisions made under this section are documented and filed by the Fund Services Department. Proxy Voting Procedures Upon receipt of a meeting circular, the Fund Services Department logs the issuer name, date of receipt, and other relevant information in a proxy database. The Fund Services Department then reviews the information and summarizes his/her findings. The Internal Manager makes the voting decision, and issues his/her direction to the Fund Services Department. The Fund Services Department logs the decision, forwards the completed proxy to the custodian or the custodian s voting agent, and files all related documentation. The Fund Services Department retains files related to proxies, votes, and related research materials for a minimum two years and off-site for a minimum five years. Proxy Voting by Sub-Advisers Sub-advisers to the Funds have the authority to make all voting decisions concerning the securities held in the Funds on a fully discretionary basis in accordance with the portfolio management agreement. Mackenzie Investments has determined that the sub-advisers have proxy voting guidelines in place and is of the view that the guidelines are substantively similar to Mackenzie Investments Proxy Voting Policy. Information Requests The policies and procedures that the Funds follow when voting proxies relating to portfolio securities are available upon request at any time, at no cost, by calling toll free or (416) or by writing to Mackenzie Financial Corporation, 180 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 3K1. Each Fund s proxy voting record for the most recent 12 month period ending June 30 will be available free of charge to any investor of that Fund upon request at any time after August 31 of the same year by calling or (416) , and will also be available on the Funds website at Short-Term Trading Policies and Procedures Mackenzie Investments has adopted policies and procedures to detect and deter inappropriate and excessive short-term trading. An inappropriate short-term trade is defined as a combination of a purchase and redemption, including switches between the Funds, within 90 days that Mackenzie Investments believes is detrimental to Fund investors and that may take advantage of
83 Funds with investments priced in other time zones or illiquid investments that trade infrequently. Excessive short-term trading is a combination of purchases and redemptions, including switches between Funds, which occur within 30 days so frequently that Mackenzie Investments believes is detrimental to Fund investors. All trades determined by Mackenzie Investments to be inappropriate short-term trades will be subject to a 2% fee. All trades determined by Mackenzie Investments to be part of a pattern of excessive short-term trading will be subject to a 1% fee. The fees charged will be paid to the applicable Funds. Mackenzie Investments may take such additional action as it considers appropriate to prevent further similar activity by the investor. These actions may include the delivery of a warning to the investor, placing the investor/account on a watch list to monitor his or her trading activity and the subsequent refusal of further trades by the investor if the investor continues to attempt such trading activity and/or closure of the investor s account. In determining whether a short-term trade is inappropriate or excessive, Mackenzie Investments will consider relevant factors including the following: bona fide changes in investor circumstances or intentions; unanticipated financial emergencies; the nature of the Fund; past trading patterns; unusual market circumstances; and an assessment of harm to the Fund or to Mackenzie Investments. The following types of redemptions (including switches) will be exempt from short-term trading fees: from money market or similar funds. These Funds are exempt from short-term trading fees because they are unlikely to be exposed to the adverse effects of short-term trading. Currently, this group includes the following Funds, however, we may add or remove Funds from this list at any time without notice to you: Cash Management Class; Money Market Fund; and Short Term Bond Fund (Portico)
84 from an Underlying Fund by a Fund in a fund of funds program or a linked fund or other similar program; for Quadrus asset allocation programs; for systematic withdrawal plans; redemptions and switches from money market funds to other Funds are not subject to short-term trading fees. Redemptions pursuant to systematic withdrawal plans and redemptions of securities received on the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are also not subject to short-term trading fees. redemptions of securities to pay management fees, administration fees and Quadrus services fees with respect to N, N5 and N8 series securities; redemptions of securities to pay H, H5 and H8 series Quadrus sponsored fee-forservice or wrap program fees; redemptions of securities to pay Quadrus Charitable Giving Program fees; and automatic rebalancing of your holdings in the Quadrus Group of Funds Rebalancing Service. Other types of redemptions (including from switches) that have been arranged to be exempt from short-term trading fees are as set out in the simplified prospectus. Mackenzie Investments, the Funds and any other parties to the arrangements above do not receive any compensation or other consideration for the above arrangements. Other than as set out in the simplified prospectus, Mackenzie Investments has not entered into any arrangements with any other entity (including other funds) which would permit for short-term trading by that entity. In making these judgments Mackenzie Investments seeks to act in a manner that it believes is consistent with the best interests of Mackenzie Fund investors. The interests of fund investors and the Mackenzie Funds ability to manage its investments may be adversely affected by inappropriate or excessive short-term trading because, among other things, these types of trading activities can dilute the value of Mackenzie Fund securities, can interfere with the efficient management of a Mackenzie Fund portfolio and can result in increased brokerage and administrative costs. While Mackenzie Investments will actively take steps to monitor, detect and deter inappropriate and excessive short-term trading, it cannot ensure that such trading activity will be completely eliminated. For example, certain financial institutions may offer alternative investment products to the public that are comprised in whole or in part of securities of Mackenzie Funds. These institutions may open accounts with Mackenzie Investments on behalf of multiple investors whose identity and trading activity is not normally recorded on our transfer agent system
85 Mackenzie Investments reserves the right to restrict, reject or cancel, without any prior notice, any purchase or switch order, including transactions that are deemed to represent inappropriate or excessive short-term trading. Short Selling Policies and Procedures Most Funds may engage in short selling, where such short selling will be done in accordance with securities regulations. Mackenzie Investments has adopted written policies and procedures that set out the objectives and goals for short selling and the risk management procedures applicable to short selling. These policies and procedures (which include trading limits and controls) are developed by Mackenzie Investments compliance department and the CIO, and are reviewed annually. The Board of Directors also reviews and approves the policies and procedures each year. The CIO is responsible for approving whether a Fund may use short selling, and for overseeing the Fund s short selling activities. Short selling activities are monitored by Mackenzie Investments compliance department. Risk measurement procedures or simulations generally are not used to test the portfolio of the Fund under stress conditions. 11. FEES, EXPENSES AND MANAGEMENT EXPENSE REDUCTIONS The fees and expenses payable by the Funds are set out in the simplified prospectus under the heading Fees and Expenses. All series other than N, N5 and N8 series securities of each Fund, pay a fixed rate annual administration fee (the Administration Fee ) to Mackenzie Investments at the rate set out in the simplified prospectus. In exchange for this fee, Mackenzie Investments pays all costs and expenses required to operate the series (other than fund costs as defined below) that are not otherwise included in the management fee. The fund costs for all Funds include interest and borrowing costs, brokerage commissions and related transaction fees, taxes (including, but not limited to G.S.T / H.S.T. and income tax), all fees and expenses of the IRC, fees related to external services that were not commonly charged in the Canadian mutual fund industry as of June 15, 2007, and the costs of complying with any new regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, any new fees, introduced after June 15, June 15, 2007 is the date that Mackenzie Investments proposed to assume responsibility for payment of all operating expenses other than fund costs, in exchange for the payment by the Funds of the Administration Fee. Interest and borrowing costs, and taxes will be charged to each series directly based on usage. Costs of complying with new regulatory requirements will be assessed based on the extent and nature of these requirements. The remaining fund costs will be allocated to each series of each Fund based on their net assets relative to the net assets of all series of Mackenzie Funds. Mackenzie Investments may allocate fund costs among each series of a Fund based on such other method of allocation as it considers equitable to the Fund
86 Series of the Funds that existed as at August 1, 2007 and that were subject to the administration fee proposal that was approved by investors on August 7, 2007 (the Impacted Series ) may pay a monthly Administration Fee adjustment (the Administration Fee Adjustment ) to Mackenzie Investments if the combined average monthly net assets for all the Impacted Series (the Monthly Net Assets ) remain at a level that is below 95% of what their total net assets equaled on August 1, 2007 ( Total Net Assets ). The Administration Fee Adjustment is subject to an annual limit of 0.10% per Impacted Series. As at May 31, 2014, the Administration Fee Adjustment was payable. If, however, in a subsequent month, the Monthly Net Assets increase to an amount equal to or greater than 95% of the Total Net Assets on August 1, 2007, the Administration Fee Adjustment will cease to be payable. If it remains payable, Mackenzie Investments will be entitled to receive an Administration Fee Adjustment for that month from each of those Funds and Impacted Series (regardless of the change in their assets) in such amount that will result in all of the Impacted Series, collectively, paying an Administration Fee for the month equal to the Administration Fee that would have been payable had the Monthly Net Assets equaled 95% of the Total Net Assets on August 1, 2007 throughout the month. The Administration Fee Adjustment will be allocated pro rata between the Impacted Series based on the amount of Administration Fees paid by each Impacted Series for the month for which it is incurred (therefore, all the Impacted Series will pay a proportionate share regardless of whether the individual Impacted Series assets are at, above or below the 95% level). We may authorize a reduction in the management fee rate, administration fee rate and/or fund costs that we charge with respect to any particular investor s securities of the Fund. We will make a payment equal to the reduction directly to the investor of a Corporate Class Fund and for a Trust Fund, directly to the Trust Fund. A Trust Fund will pay an amount equal to the reduction to the investor as a special distribution by issuing additional securities of the Trust Fund, or, at the request of the investor, by paying this amount in cash. The special distributions paid by a Trust Fund will be paid first out of the Trust Fund s income and capital gains and then, if necessary, out of capital. The level of reduction is negotiable between the investor and Mackenzie Investments and usually will be based on the size of the investor s account and the extent of Fund services required by the investor. Reductions will not necessarily be based upon purchases over a specified period of time or on the value of an investor s account at a particular point in time. 12. INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS This is a general summary of certain Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to you as an investor in the Funds. This summary assumes that you are an individual (other than a trust) resident in Canada and that you hold your securities as capital property. This summary is not intended to be legal advice or tax advice. We have tried to make this discussion easy to understand. As a result, it may not be
87 technically precise, or cover all the tax consequences that may be relevant to you. Accordingly, you should consult your own tax advisor having regard to your own particular circumstances when you consider purchasing, switching or redeeming securities of a Fund. This summary is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), the regulations under the Tax Act, all proposals for specific amendments to the Tax Act or the regulations that have been publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) before the date hereof, and our understanding of the current published administrative practices and policies of the Canada Revenue Agency. Except for the foregoing, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any change in law, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action. Furthermore, this summary does not take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations. How the Funds are Taxed The following paragraphs describe some of the ways in which mutual funds can earn income: Mutual funds can earn income in the form of interest, dividends or income from the investments they make, including in other mutual funds, and can be deemed to earn income from investments in certain foreign entities. All income must be computed in Canadian dollars even if earned in a foreign currency. Mutual funds can realize a capital gain by selling an investment for more than its adjusted cost base ( ACB ). They can also realize a capital loss by selling an investment for less than its ACB. A mutual fund that invests in foreign denominated securities must calculate its ACB and proceeds of disposition in Canadian dollars based on the conversion rate on the date the securities were purchased and sold, as applicable. As a result, a mutual fund may realize capital gains and losses due to changes in the value of the foreign currency relative to the Canadian dollar. In connection with Mackenzie Strategic Income Class, when Capitalcorp disposes of Canadian securities, as defined under the Tax Act, to a counterparty pursuant to its obligations under a forward agreement, Capitalcorp will realize a capital gain or capital loss. However, subject to grandfathering for certain forward agreements and series of forward agreements first entered into before March 21, 2013, the returns under a derivative forward agreement will be taxed on income account rather than as capital gains. The forward agreements entered into by Capitalcorp in connection with Mackenzie Strategic Income Class are grandfathered derivative forward agreements until their maturity in December
88 Mutual funds can realize gains or losses from using derivatives or engaging in short selling. Generally, gains and losses from derivatives are added to or subtracted from the mutual fund s income. However, if derivatives are used by a mutual fund as a hedge to limit its gain or loss on a specific capital asset or group of capital assets, then the gains and losses from these derivatives are capital gains or capital losses. Generally, gains and losses from short selling are treated as income. Gains and losses from trading in precious metals and bullion will be taxed on income account, rather than as capital gains and losses. In certain circumstances, capital losses may be denied or suspended and, therefore, unavailable to shelter capital gains. For example, a capital loss realized by a Fund will be suspended if, during the period that begins 30 days before and ends 30 days after the date on which the capital loss was realized, the Fund or an affiliated person (as defined in the Tax Act), acquires property that is, or is identical to, the property on which the loss was realized and owns that property at the end of the period. There are new tax loss restriction rules that apply to a Trust Fund each time the Trust Fund experiences a loss restriction event for tax purposes, which generally occurs each time an investor (counted together with affiliates for purposes of this discussion) becomes a holder of units representing more than 50% of the fair market value of the units of the Trust Fund or because another investor redeems units of the Trust Fund and a remaining investor then holds the majority beneficial interest. If a Trust Fund experiences a loss restriction event, investors may automatically receive an unscheduled distribution of income and capital gains from the Trust Fund. These distributions must be included in the calculation of investors income for tax purposes. Also, the amount of distributions paid by the Trust Fund after a loss restriction event may be even larger than they otherwise would have been due to the deemed recognition and expiry of all losses (both realized and unrealized net of elected unrealized gains) at the time of the loss restriction event. A mutual fund can be organized as a corporation or a trust. The following sections describe the taxation of these types of entities. Corporate Class Funds Even though the assets and liabilities attributable to each Corporate Class Fund are tracked separately, each Corporation must aggregate the income, deductible expenses, and capital gains and losses of all of its Corporate Class Funds (including those not offered under the simplified prospectus) when calculating its taxable income. Each Corporate Class Fund is part of a Corporation that qualifies as a mutual fund corporation, as defined in the Tax Act, and is expected to so qualify at all material times. As a result:
89 A Corporation generally will not pay tax on taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, provided that it declares and pays sufficient ordinary taxable dividends to its shareholders. Similarly, a Corporation generally will not pay tax on its net capital gains, provided that it declares and pays sufficient capital gains dividends to its shareholders and/or has sufficient capital gains refunds or capital loss carryforwards it may use to eliminate its tax liability thereon. In certain situations, a Corporation may pay refundable taxes rather than pay a dividend to its investors if its management determines that it is advantageous to do so and this decision is ratified by its Board of Directors. Each Corporation will generally pay non-refundable income taxes on its income from other sources, at the corporate rate applicable to a mutual fund corporation, when that income is more than its deductible expenses and deductible losses. Ordinary dividends and capital gains dividends paid by a Corporation, and any non-refundable income taxes payable by a Corporation, will be allocated among its Corporate Class Funds (including those not offered under the simplified prospectus) in a manner that its Board of Directors, in consultation with Mackenzie, determines is fair and reasonable. The non-refundable income tax payable by a Corporation will be estimated and accrued as an expense, and the expense will generally be allocated among its Corporate Class Funds that earned income. A non-refundable income tax expense allocated to a Corporate Class Fund will reduce the NAV of the Fund in the same way as any other expense. As a result of such allocations: the securityholders of a Corporate Class Fund may receive more ordinary taxable dividends from the Corporation than the amount of taxable dividends received on the investments held by that Corporate Class Fund; the securityholders of a Corporate Class Fund may receive more capital gains dividends from the Corporation that exceeds the amount of net capital gains realized on the investments held by that Corporate Class Fund; the NAV of a Corporate Class Fund may be reduced by some or all of the Corporation s non-refundable income tax liability, even if the investments held by that Corporate Class Fund did not produce much taxable income. Trust Funds Unless otherwise noted, all Trust Funds qualify as mutual fund trusts, as defined in the Tax Act, and are expected to continue to so qualify at all material times. Each Trust Fund computes its income or loss separately. All of a Trust Fund s deductible expenses, including management fees, will be deducted in calculating the Trust Fund s income. The Trust Fund will be subject to tax on its net income, including
90 net taxable capital gains, not paid or payable to its investors for each tax year, after taking into consideration any loss carry-forwards and any capital gains refund. Each Trust Fund intends to pay to investors enough of its income and capital gains each year so that it will not be liable for income tax under Part I of the Tax Act. Trust Funds that do not Qualify as Mutual Fund Trusts If a Trust Fund qualifies as a unit trust but not a mutual fund trust, as defined in the Tax Act, it is not eligible for the capital gains refund and could be subject to alternative minimum tax, as well as other taxes under the Tax Act. In addition, if one or more financial institutions, as defined in the Tax Act, owns more than 50% of the fair market value of the units of such a Trust Fund, that Trust Fund will be a financial institution for income tax purposes and thus subject to certain mark-to-market tax rules. In this case, most of the Trust Fund's investments would be considered mark-tomarket property, with the result that it will be deemed to have disposed of and reacquired its mark-to-market property at the end of each tax year as well as at such time as it becomes, or ceases to be, a financial institution; and the gains and losses from these deemed dispositions will be on income account, not capital account. Although Real Return Bond Fund (Portico) is expected to qualify as a mutual fund trust for the 2014 taxation year and at all times thereafter, it does not currently qualify. Key Tax Differences Between Corporate Class Funds and Trust Funds As described above, each Trust Fund computes the income from its activities separately. In contrast, because a Corporate Class Fund is part of a Corporation, the tax consequences of investing in a particular Corporate Class Fund may be affected by both the investment activities of that Corporate Class Fund, and the investment activities of the relevant Corporation s other Corporate Class Funds (including those not offered under the simplified prospectus). For example, any net loss or net capital loss realized on the investments of a particular Corporate Class Fund in a year will be applied to reduce the income or net realized capital gains of the relevant Corporation as a whole in that year; accordingly, the losses will not be available to shelter subsequent income or capital gains of the particular Corporate Class Fund. Furthermore, because each Corporation allows for tax-deferred switching among its Corporate Class Funds, it is expected that investors will switch among the Corporate Class Funds. This may cause capital gains and losses to be recognized at an earlier time than would be the case with an investment vehicle that does not allow for tax-deferred switching. While a Trust Fund may pay taxable distributions of particular types of income and can generally eliminate its liability for tax by distributing all of its income, a Corporate Class Fund cannot. This has two principal consequences:
91 Taxable distributions paid to investors in a Corporate Class Fund will consist of ordinary dividends (i.e., eligible and/or non-eligible dividends from a taxable Canadian corporation) or capital gains dividends, but not other sources of income such as interest or foreign dividends; and If the particular Corporation s other income exceeds its deductible expenses, it will be subject to income tax. In a Trust Fund, this income would be distributed to investors and taxed in their hands at their marginal tax rates. Each Corporation s Board of Directors, in consultation with Mackenzie Investments, determines the allocation of any tax liability and any taxable distributions of the Corporation among its Corporate Class Funds (including those not offered under the simplified prospectus) in a fair and reasonable manner. For investors in a particular Corporate Class Fund, this may produce different returns and tax consequences than if that Fund had been established as a Trust Fund. How You are Taxed on a Fund Investment How you are taxed on an investment in the Funds depends on whether you hold the investment inside or outside a registered plan. If You Own the Funds Outside a Registered Plan Dividends and Distributions You must include in your income for a taxation year, the taxable portion of all distributions (including management expense distributions) paid or payable (collectively, "paid") to you from a Fund during the year, computed in Canadian dollars, whether these amounts were paid to you in cash or reinvested in additional securities. The amount of reinvested distributions is added to the adjusted cost base ( ACB ) of your securities to reduce your capital gain or increase your capital loss when you later redeem. This ensures that you do not pay tax on the amount again at a later date. Distributions paid by a Corporate Class Fund may consist of ordinary taxable dividends, capital gains dividends and/or returns of capital. Distributions paid by a Trust Fund may consist of capital gains, ordinary taxable dividends, foreign source income, other income and/or returns of capital. Ordinary taxable dividends are included in your income subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules. Capital gains dividends and capital gains distributions will be treated as capital gains realized by you, one-half of which will generally be included in calculating your income as a taxable capital gain. A Trust Fund may make designations in respect of its foreign source income so that you may be able to claim any foreign tax credits allocated to you by that Trust Fund. You may receive a return of capital from your Fund. You will not be taxed on a return of capital, but it will reduce the ACB of your securities of that Fund such that
92 when you redeem your securities, you will realize a greater capital gain (or smaller capital loss) than if you had not received the return of capital. If the ACB of your securities is reduced to less than zero, the ACB of your securities will be deemed to be increased to zero and you will be deemed to realize a capital gain equal to the amount of this increase. When you buy securities of a Fund on or before the record date of a distribution, you will receive the distribution and be subject to tax on the taxable portion of the distribution, if any, even though the Fund may have earned the related income or realized the related gains before you owned the securities. The higher the portfolio turnover rate of any Fund in a year, the greater the chance that you will receive a capital gains dividend or capital gains distribution. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high turnover rate and the performance of a Fund. Sales and Redemption Charges and Fees A sales charge paid on the purchase of securities is not deductible in computing your income but is added to the ACB of your securities. A redemption charge paid on the redemption of securities is not deductible in computing your income but effectively reduces the proceeds of disposition of your securities. You should include in your income for a taxation year any rebate that you receive as a consequence of a management fee and/or administration fee reduction in connection with your investment in a Fund, whether these amounts were paid to you in cash or reinvested in additional securities. You should consult with your tax advisor about the tax treatment of fees payable to Mackenzie in respect of your investment in N, N5 or N8 series securities. Switches If you switch between series of a Fund, or if you switch your securities of a Corporate Class Fund for securities of another Corporate Class Fund that is part of the same Corporation, the switch occurs on a tax-deferred basis so that you will not realize a capital gain or capital loss on the switch. Any other type of switch will involve a redemption of your securities. Redemptions You will realize a capital gain (capital loss) if any of your securities in a Fund are redeemed. Your capital gain (capital loss) generally will be the amount by which the NAV of the redeemed securities is greater (less) than the ACB of those securities. You may deduct redemption charges and other expenses of redemption when calculating
93 your capital gain (capital loss). Generally, one-half of your capital gain is included in your income for tax purposes as a taxable capital gain and one-half of your capital loss can be deducted against your taxable capital gains. Calculating Your ACB Your ACB must be determined separately for each series of securities that you own in each Fund. The total ACB of your securities of a particular series of a Fund is generally equal to: the total of all amounts you paid to purchase those securities, including any sales charges paid by you at the time of purchase plus in the case of a Corporate Class Fund, the ACB of any securities of another Corporate Class Fund of the same Corporation that were converted on a tax-deferred basis into securities of that series of the Corporate Class Fund plus the amount of any reinvested distributions in that series less the return of capital component of distributions on that series less in the case of a Corporate Class Fund, the ACB of any securities of the series of the Corporate Class Fund that were converted on a tax-deferred basis into securities of another Corporate Class Fund of the same Corporation less the ACB of any of your securities of that series that have been redeemed
94 The ACB of a single security of a particular series of a Fund will generally be based on the average cost of all securities of the same series of that Fund (as adjusted) owned by you at that time, including securities received on the reinvestment of dividends or other distributions. Any sales charge you paid in respect of a purchase of securities will be included in the cost of your securities for these purposes. Where you switch between series of the same Fund, or switch between Corporate Class Funds of the same Corporation, the cost of the securities received on the switch will generally be equal to the ACB of the securities switched. For example, suppose you own 500 securities of a particular series of a Fund with an ACB of $10 each (a total of $5,000). Suppose you then purchase another 100 securities of the same series of that Fund for an additional $1,200, including a sales charge. Your total cost is $6,200 for 600 securities so that your new ACB of each security of the series of the Fund is $6,200 divided by 600 securities, or $10.33 per security. Alternative Minimum Tax Amounts included in your income as ordinary taxable dividends, capital gains dividends or capital gains (whether paid by a Corporation or distributed by a Trust Fund), as well as any capital gains realized by you on the disposition of securities, may increase your liability for alternative minimum tax. Tax Statements We will send a tax statement to you each year identifying the taxable portion of the dividends and distributions that you received from each Fund and any amounts that were a return of capital. You should keep detailed records of the purchase cost, sales charges, dividends and other distributions, and redemption proceeds related to your securities in order to calculate their ACB. You may wish to consult a tax advisor to help you with these calculations. You should also keep a record of any management fee and/or administration fee rebate received directly in respect of your investment in a Corporate Class Fund
95 If You Own the Funds Inside a Registered Plan Securities of the Funds are qualified investments for registered plans such as RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs, RESPs, RDSPs and other types of registered plans. You should consult with your own tax advisor as to whether securities of the Funds would be prohibited investments under the Tax Act if held in your RRSP, RRIF or TFSA. You will generally not pay tax on distributions paid on securities held in a registered plan or on capital gains from redeeming or switching securities held in a registered plan, as long as you do not make a withdrawal from the registered plan and provided the securities are a qualified investment and not a prohibited investment for the registered plan. The securities of each Fund are expected to be qualified investments for registered plans at all times. Even when a security is a qualified investment, it may be a prohibited investment for your RRSP, RRIF or TFSA. Where your registered plan holds a prohibited investment, you will be liable to penalty tax. If you hold N, N5 and N8 series securities in a TFSA, RRSP or RRIF, you should consult with your own tax advisor to determine if the payment of fees by you directly could constitute an advantage to your registered plan, which would result in a tax liability. You should consult your own tax advisor for full particulars of the tax implications of establishing, amending and terminating registered plans and of investing in Funds through a registered plan. It is the responsibility of investors in these plans to determine the consequences to them under relevant tax legislation. The Funds and Mackenzie Investments assume no liability to you as a result of making the Funds and/or series available for investment within the registered plans. Additional Considerations for Investors Under U.S. withholding tax and reporting requirements, commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ( FATCA ), we may be required to collect identity, citizenship, residency and other information about certain securityholders and directly or indirectly provide that information to the U.S. tax authorities in order to avoid a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on certain payments of U.S. source income, U.S. gross proceeds and certain other amounts made to the Funds. Canada and the U.S. signed an Intergovernmental Agreement for the Enhanced Exchange of Tax Information ( IGA ) under the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention to increase the amount of information exchanged between the Canada Revenue Agency ( CRA ) and the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) in a manner that is consistent with Canada s privacy laws and is designed to meet the objectives of FATCA. Under the IGA and the proposed amendments to the Tax Act, you may be required to provide us or your dealer with certain identifying information, or face penalties. We may be required to provide that information to the CRA along with information about your investment in the Funds, unless your securities are held in a registered plan. If you are a U.S. taxpayer (including a U.S. citizen or green card holder who is resident in Canada), the CRA is expected to
96 provide that information to the IRS. If a securityholder does not provide the information necessary for us to comply with these requirements, the securities of the Funds held by such securityholder may be redeemed. This new regime is expected to become effective beginning July 1, You should consult your tax advisor regarding the possible implications of FATCA for you and your investments. What are Your Legal Rights? Securities legislation in some provinces gives you the right to withdraw from an agreement to buy securities of a mutual fund within two business days of receiving the simplified prospectus, or to cancel your purchase within forty-eight hours of receiving confirmation of your order. Securities legislation in some provinces and territories also allows you to cancel an agreement to buy securities of a mutual fund and get your money back, or to make a claim for damages, if the simplified prospectus, annual information form or financial statements misrepresent any facts about the fund. These rights must usually be exercised within certain time limits. For more information, refer to the securities legislation of your province or territory or consult your lawyer. 13. REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES The Funds do not directly employ any directors, officers or trustees to carry out their Fund operations. Although the Corporations each have directors and officers, Mackenzie, as manager of the Funds, provides all personnel necessary to conduct the Fund s operations. For the year ended March 31, 2014, IRC members received from the Mackenzie Funds annual fees, meeting fees and expense reimbursement in the aggregate amount of $259,031 in connection with performing their duties for the Mackenzie Funds. These fees and expenses were allocated among the funds managed by Mackenzie Investments in a manner that was fair and reasonable. For a description of the role of the IRC, please see Section 10: Fund Governance Mackenzie Funds Independent Review Committee. 14. MATERIAL CONTRACTS Set out below are particulars of the material contracts entered into by the Funds as of the date of this annual information form as well as a description of the portfolio management agreements that Mackenzie Investments has entered into with certain
97 firms with respect to certain of the Funds. Minor contracts entered into by the Funds in the ordinary course of their business have been excluded. Declarations of Trust The Declarations of Trust of the Funds, which govern all of the Trust Funds, and their effective dates are set out in Section 1: Name, Formation and History of the Funds. The Declarations of Trust set out the powers and duties of the manager and the trustee of the Funds, the attributes of securities of the Funds, procedures for purchase, exchange and redemption of securities, recordkeeping, calculation of the Trust Funds income and other administrative procedures. The Declarations also contain provisions for the selection of a successor trustee if Mackenzie Investments should resign and for termination of the Trust Funds if no successor trustee can be found. Mackenzie Investments is not paid a fee in its capacity as trustee (as would be required if an outside trustee was hired), but is entitled to be reimbursed for any costs incurred on the Trust Funds behalf. Articles of Incorporation of Capitalcorp The Articles of Incorporation of Capitalcorp dated October 13, 2000, as amended, sets out the number of directors of Capitalcorp; the restrictions of Capitalcorp; the classes and series of shares of Capitalcorp and the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions applicable to such share classes and series including, the security price for issuance of shares, dividend rights, voting rights, rights on liquidation and winding up of the class or series.

99 operational services. The Master Management Agreements contain details about fees and expenses payable by the Funds to Mackenzie Investments, including the management fee rates and administration fee rates as applicable, and the Master Management Agreements are amended each time a new fund or new series of a fund is added to any of the Master Management Agreements. The Master Management Agreements have been executed by Mackenzie Investments on its own behalf as manager and on behalf of the Trust Funds for which it is trustee, in its capacity as trustee. The eight Master Management Agreements generally continue from year to year subject to the exceptions noted below: Each of Master Management Agreements 1 and 3 may be terminated earlier in respect of one or more of the Funds, the particular agreement covers, on not less than 6 months prior written notice. Each of Master Management Agreements 6 and 7 may be terminated earlier in respect of one or more of the Funds, the particular agreement covers, on not less than 60 days prior written notice. Each of Master Management Agreements 1, 3, 6 and 7 may be terminated on shorter notice if any party to the particular agreement is in breach of the terms of that Master Management Agreement and has not remedied the breach within 30 days of receipt of written notice requiring the breach to be remedied or if any party goes into liquidation, commits an act of bankruptcy, ceases to hold appropriate regulatory approvals or commits or permits any other act to occur which materially adversely affects its ability to perform the obligations to be satisfied under that Master Management Agreement. Each of Master Management Agreements 2, 4 and 5 may be terminated earlier in respect of one or more of the Funds, the particular agreement covers, on not less than 60 days prior written notice or such less period of notice as the other party may accept. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Master Management Agreements 2, 4 and 5 may be terminated immediately by the trustee of the applicable agreement if: (i) an order is made or a resolution passed or other proceedings are taken for the dissolution of the manager, (ii) the manager consents to or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or makes a proposal to creditors under any insolvency law, or is declared bankrupt or if a liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy, custodian or receiver or other office with similar powers is appointed, (iii) according to the provisions of applicable law, the manager ceases to be qualified to act as manager under the agreement, or (iv) the manager is in default of its material obligations under the agreement and does not remedy the breach within a reasonable period after notice by the trustee. Master Custodian Agreement Mackenzie has entered into a Master Custodian Agreement with CIBC, dated February 24, 2005, as amended, on behalf of the Funds to obtain custodial services for the Funds assets
100 The Master Custodian Agreement complies with the applicable provisions of NI regarding custodial services and requires the custodian to hold the Fund s assets in trust and to separately identify each Fund s account assets. The agreement contains schedules which sets out which Funds are governed by that agreement and the fees payable to the custodian for the range of services provided to the Funds. The agreement can be terminated by the Funds or by the custodian on 120 days prior written notice. Portfolio Management Agreements Except as noted below, Mackenzie Investments is the portfolio manager for each of the Funds under the terms of its Master Management Agreements with the Funds. Mackenzie has entered into portfolio management agreements with each of the firms listed in Section 8 under Portfolio Management Services to provide portfolio management services to several of the Funds. Under each of these agreements, the sub-adviser firms will designate a lead portfolio manager and research and support personnel to make all portfolio decisions concerning the portion of the Fund s portfolio allocated to them, all necessary brokerage arrangements and all arrangements with the Fund s custodian to settle portfolio trades. These firms are required to adhere to the investment objectives and investment strategies adopted by the Fund. They have each agreed to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Fund, and to use the degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in the circumstances. Mackenzie Investments will pay the sub-advisers fees out of the management fees it receives from each of the Funds. Most of the portfolio management agreements listed below may be terminated by either party on 90 days prior written notice to the other party, subject to certain exceptions.
