• The erosion of your buying power caused by inflation.

Equities play an important role in your portfolio

• Historically, equities have been the key driver of superior long-term returns.

• For the 10 years ending December 31,2012, the average annual total return of the S&P/TSX Composite Index was 9.2% and 5.9% for DEX Universe Bond Index.

Managing market volatility is key

6

• A low-volatility approach to equity investing contributes to long-term sustainability of your portfolio so your savings are there when you need them most.

• Investors have historically chosen security over potentially higher returns. This approach made sense when interest rates were not at near historic lows.

It’s important to understand the math behind GIC rates

• Taking into consideration taxes and inflation, GICs are netting negative real rates of return, forcing investors to redeem from their savings.

Investors preparing for retirement face these risks:

• Portfolio volatility – the investment strategy reduces volatility, a benefit that is passed to you daily in the valuation of the fund.

• Outliving your money – this risk is offset by guaranteeing 20 years of guaranteed cash flow. The fund’s equity participation contributes to a residual amount at the end of the fund’s life span.

• Inflation – the equity exposure provides opportunities for growth, which can minimize inflation’s erosion of your buying power.
