DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKMANAGEMENT (Note 4)

Credit RiskAs at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Fund hadno significant investments in debt instruments andderivatives. Accordingly, the Fund was not subject tosignificant credit risk.

Interest Rate RiskThe majority of the Fund’s financial assets and liabilities arenon-interest bearing. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject tosignificant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in theprevailing levels of market interest rates.

Other Price RiskThe Schedule of Investment Portfolio of the Fund classifiessecurities by market segment.

The impact on Net Assets of the Fund due to a 5 percentchange in benchmark (September 30, 2019 – 20 percent),using historical correlation between the return of the Fund'sUnits as compared to the return of the Fund's benchmark, asat March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, with all othervariables held constant, is included in the following table.Regression analysis has been utilized to estimate thehistorical correlation. The analysis uses 36 monthly datapoints, unless the inception of the Fund is less than threeyears, in which case since inception data has been used.

Impact on Net Assets ($'000)

BenchmarkMarch 31,

2020September 30,

2019

S&P/TSX Composite Index 3,790 18,762

The historical correlation may not be representative of thefuture correlation, and accordingly the impact on Net Assetscould be materially different.

Currency RiskThe amounts in the following tables are based on the fairvalue of the Fund’s financial instruments (including cash andcash equivalents) as well as the underlying principal amountsof foreign exchange forward contracts, as applicable. Otherfinancial assets (including cash collateral received forsecurities on loan, dividends and interest receivables andreceivables for investments sold) and financial liabilities(including payable for cash collateral under securities lendingand payable for investments purchased) that aredenominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fund tosignificant currency risk.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKMANAGEMENT (Note 4)

Credit RiskAs at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Fund hadno significant investments in debt instruments andderivatives. Accordingly, the Fund was not subject tosignificant credit risk.

Interest Rate RiskThe majority of the Fund’s financial assets and liabilities arenon-interest bearing. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject tosignificant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in theprevailing levels of market interest rates.

Other Price RiskThe Schedule of Investment Portfolio of the Fund classifiessecurities by geographic region.

The impact on Net Assets of the Fund due to a 5 percentchange in benchmark (September 30, 2019 – 25 percent),using historical correlation between the return of the Fund'sUnits as compared to the return of the Fund's benchmark, asat March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, with all othervariables held constant, is included in the following table.Regression analysis has been utilized to estimate thehistorical correlation. The analysis uses 36 monthly datapoints, unless the inception of the Fund is less than threeyears, in which case since inception data has been used.

Impact on Net Assets ($'000)

BenchmarkMarch 31,

2020September 30,

2019

MSCI Emerging Markets Index 3,063 18,312

The historical correlation may not be representative of thefuture correlation, and accordingly the impact on Net Assetscould be materially different.

Currency RiskThe amounts in the following tables are based on the fairvalue of the Fund’s financial instruments (including cash andcash equivalents) as well as the underlying principal amountsof foreign exchange forward contracts, as applicable. Otherfinancial assets (including cash collateral received forsecurities on loan, dividends and interest receivables andreceivables for investments sold) and financial liabilities(including payable for cash collateral under securities lendingand payable for investments purchased) that aredenominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fund tosignificant currency risk.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKMANAGEMENT (Note 4)

Credit RiskAs at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Fund hadno significant investments in debt instruments andderivatives. Accordingly, the Fund was not subject tosignificant credit risk.

Interest Rate RiskThe majority of the Fund’s financial assets and liabilities arenon-interest bearing. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject tosignificant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in theprevailing levels of market interest rates.

Other Price RiskThe Schedule of Investment Portfolio of the Fund classifiessecurities by market segment.

Page 27: Semi-Annual Financial Statements - AGF · The accompanying financial statements of the Funds (as defined in Note 1(a)) have been prepared byAGF Investments Inc. (the “Manager”).

Regression analysis has been utilized to estimate thehistorical correlation. The analysis uses 36 monthly datapoints, unless the inception of the Fund is less than threeyears, in which case since inception data has been used.

BenchmarkMarch 31,

MSCI All Country World Index 164 526Blended Benchmark 272 880

The Blended Benchmark is composed of 60% MSCI AllCountry World Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclays MultiverseIndex (hedged to CAD).

The historical correlation may not be representative of thefuture correlation, and accordingly the impact on Net Assetscould be materially different.

The Fund is indirectly exposed to credit, interest rate andcurrency risks, as applicable, of the underlying ETFs as atMarch 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

Currency RiskThe amounts in the following tables are based on the fairvalue of the Fund’s financial instruments (including cash andcash equivalents) as well as the underlying principal amountsof foreign exchange forward contracts, as applicable. Otherfinancial assets (including cash collateral received forsecurities on loan, dividends and interest receivables andreceivables for investments sold) and financial liabilities(including payable for cash collateral under securities lendingand payable for investments purchased) that aredenominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fund tosignificant currency risk.

Currencies to which the Fund had exposure as at March 31,2020 and September 30, 2019, were as follows:

applicable

As at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, if theCanadian dollar had strengthened or weakened by 2 percent,in relation to all currencies, with all other variables held

constant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $8,000 (September 30, 2019 –$15,000).

In practice, the actual trading results may differ from thissensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKMANAGEMENT (Note 4)

Credit RiskAs at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Fund hadno significant investments in debt instruments andderivatives. Accordingly, the Fund was not subject tosignificant credit risk.

Interest Rate RiskThe majority of the Fund’s financial assets and liabilities arenon-interest bearing. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject tosignificant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in theprevailing levels of market interest rates.

Other Price RiskThe Schedule of Investment Portfolio of the Fund classifiessecurities by market segment.

The impact on Net Assets of the Fund due to a 10 percentchange in benchmark (September 30, 2019 – 30 percent),using historical correlation between the return of the Fund'sUnits as compared to the return of the Fund's benchmark, asat March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, with all othervariables held constant, is included in the following table.Regression analysis has been utilized to estimate thehistorical correlation. The analysis uses 36 monthly datapoints, unless the inception of the Fund is less than threeyears, in which case since inception data has been used.

Impact on Net Assets ($'000)

BenchmarkMarch 31,

2020September 30,

2019

MSCI All Country World Index 255 855

The historical correlation may not be representative of thefuture correlation, and accordingly the impact on Net Assetscould be materially different.

The Fund is indirectly exposed to credit, interest rate andcurrency risks, as applicable, of the underlying ETFs as atMarch 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

Currency RiskThe amounts in the following tables are based on the fairvalue of the Fund’s financial instruments (including cash andcash equivalents) as well as the underlying principal amountsof foreign exchange forward contracts, as applicable. Otherfinancial assets (including cash collateral received forsecurities on loan, dividends and interest receivables andreceivables for investments sold) and financial liabilities(including payable for cash collateral under securities lendingand payable for investments purchased) that aredenominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fund tosignificant currency risk.

Currencies to which the Fund had exposure as at March 31,2020 and September 30, 2019, were as follows:

March 31, 2020

($'000)Financial

ForeignExchange

September 30, 2019

Instruments

ForeignExchange

ForwardContracts Total**

Percentage ofNet Assets (%)

United States Dollar 1,201 – 1,201 40.7

** Includes both monetary and non-monetary instruments, asapplicable

As at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, if theCanadian dollar had strengthened or weakened by 2 percent,in relation to all currencies, with all other variables heldconstant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $19,000 (September 30,2019 – $24,000).

In practice, the actual trading results may differ from thissensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

The historical correlation may not be representative of thefuture correlation, and accordingly the impact on Net Assetscould be materially different.

The Fund is indirectly exposed to credit, interest rate andcurrency risks, as applicable, of the underlying ETFs as atMarch 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

Currency RiskThe amounts in the following tables are based on the fairvalue of the Fund’s financial instruments (including cash andcash equivalents) as well as the underlying principal amountsof foreign exchange forward contracts, as applicable. Otherfinancial assets (including cash collateral received forsecurities on loan, dividends and interest receivables andreceivables for investments sold) and financial liabilities(including payable for cash collateral under securities lendingand payable for investments purchased) that aredenominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fund tosignificant currency risk.

Currencies to which the Fund had exposure as at March 31,2020 and September 30, 2019, were as follows:

As at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, if theCanadian dollar had strengthened or weakened by 2 percent,in relation to all currencies, with all other variables held

constant, Net Assets would have decreased or increased,respectively, by approximately $4,000 (September 30, 2019 –$4,000).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — FUND SPECIFIC INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.66

S E M I - A N N U A L R E P O R T 2020

Page 68: Semi-Annual Financial Statements - AGF · The accompanying financial statements of the Funds (as defined in Note 1(a)) have been prepared byAGF Investments Inc. (the “Manager”).

Interest Rate RiskAs at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Fund’sexposure to debt instruments by maturity was as follows:

($'000)Debt Instruments*by Maturity Date

March 31,2020

September 30,2019

Less than 1 year 11,699 –1-3 years 19,204 32,2473-5 years 23,502 29,147Greater than 5 years 160,291 147,340* Excludes cash and cash equivalents and preferred shares but

includes short-term investments, as applicable

As at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, if the yieldcurve had shifted in parallel by 25 basis points, with all othervariables held constant, Net Assets would have increased ordecreased, respectively, by approximately $4,272,000(September 30, 2019 – $4,080,000).

In practice, the actual trading results may differ from thissensitivity analysis and the difference could be material.

Other Price RiskThe Schedule of Investment Portfolio of the Fund classifiessecurities by market segment.

The impact on Net Assets of the Fund due to a 15 percentchange in benchmark (September 30, 2019 – 10 percent),using historical correlation between the return of the Fund'sUnits as compared to the return of the Fund's benchmark, asat March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, with all othervariables held constant, is included in the following table.Regression analysis has been utilized to estimate thehistorical correlation. The analysis uses 36 monthly datapoints, unless the inception of the Fund is less than threeyears, in which case since inception data has been used.

Impact on Net Assets ($'000)

BenchmarkMarch 31,

2020September 30,

2019

Blended Benchmark 32,377 19,032

The Blended Benchmark is composed of 50% BloombergBarclays Global Treasury Index (hedged to CAD) and 50%Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index(hedged to CAD).

The historical correlation may not be representative of thefuture correlation, and accordingly the impact on Net Assetscould be materially different.

Currency RiskThe amounts in the following tables are based on the fairvalue of the Fund’s financial instruments (including cash andcash equivalents) as well as the underlying principal amountsof foreign exchange forward contracts, as applicable. Otherfinancial assets (including cash collateral received for

securities on loan, dividends and interest receivables andreceivables for investments sold) and financial liabilities(including payable for cash collateral under securities lendingand payable for investments purchased) that aredenominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fund tosignificant currency risk.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKMANAGEMENT (Note 4)

Credit RiskAs at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Fund hadno significant investments in debt instruments andderivatives. Accordingly, the Fund was not subject tosignificant credit risk.

Interest Rate RiskThe majority of the Fund’s financial assets and liabilities arenon-interest bearing. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject tosignificant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in theprevailing levels of market interest rates.

Other Price RiskThe Schedule of Investment Portfolio of the Fund classifiessecurities by market segment.

The impact on Net Assets of the Fund due to a 25 percentchange in benchmark (September 30, 2019 – 40 percent),using historical correlation between the return of the Fund'sUnits as compared to the return of the Fund's benchmark, asat March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, with all othervariables held constant, is included in the following table.Regression analysis has been utilized to estimate thehistorical correlation. The analysis uses 36 monthly datapoints, unless the inception of the Fund is less than threeyears, in which case since inception data has been used.

Impact on Net Assets ($'000)

BenchmarkMarch 31,

2020September 30,

2019

S&P 500 Net Index 31,697 58,535

The historical correlation may not be representative of thefuture correlation, and accordingly the impact on Net Assetscould be materially different.

Currency RiskThe amounts in the following tables are based on the fairvalue of the Fund’s financial instruments (including cash andcash equivalents) as well as the underlying principal amountsof foreign exchange forward contracts, as applicable. Otherfinancial assets (including cash collateral received forsecurities on loan, dividends and interest receivables andreceivables for investments sold) and financial liabilities(including payable for cash collateral under securities lendingand payable for investments purchased) that aredenominated in foreign currencies do not expose the Fund tosignificant currency risk.

Page 101: Semi-Annual Financial Statements - AGF · The accompanying financial statements of the Funds (as defined in Note 1(a)) have been prepared byAGF Investments Inc. (the “Manager”).

Funds have consistently applied the accounting policiesused in the preparation of the most recent auditedannual financial statements for the year endedSeptember 30, 2019. The financial statements areprepared under the historical cost convention, except forfinancial assets and financial liabilities that have beenmeasured at fair value.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe following summarizes the significant accountingpolicies of the Funds.

Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments include financial assets andliabilities, such as investments, derivatives, cash and cashequivalents, and other receivables and payables. TheFunds classify and measure financial instruments inaccordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Uponinitial recognition, financial instruments are classified asfair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). All financialassets and liabilities are recognized in the Statements ofFinancial Position when the fund becomes a party to thecontractual requirements of the instrument. Financialinstruments are derecognized when the right to receivecash flows from the instrument has expired or the fundhas transferred substantially all risks and rewards ofownership. As such, investment purchase and saletransactions are recorded as of the trade date.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are subsequentlymeasured at FVTPL with changes in fair value recognizedin the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The accounting policies for measuring the fair value ofinvestments and derivatives are substantially similar tothose used in measuring the Funds’ net asset value (“NetAsset Value”) for the purpose of processing unitholdertransactions in accordance with Section 14.2 of NationalInstrument 81-106. As at all dates presented, there wereno differences between the Funds’ Net Asset Value perunit and net assets attributable to holders of redeemableunits per unit.

Valuation of investments and derivativesFair value is the price that would be received to sell anasset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at themeasurement date. The fair value of investments andderivatives is determined as follows:

(a) Investments that are traded in an active marketthrough recognized public stock exchanges, over-the-counter markets, or through recognizedinvestment dealers, are valued based on quotedmarket prices at the close of trading on the reportingdate. The Funds use the last traded market price forboth financial assets and financial liabilities wherethe last traded price falls within that day’s closingbid-ask spread. In circumstances where the lasttraded price is not within the bid-ask spread, the

Manager determines the point within the bid-askspread that is most representative of fair value basedon the specific facts and circumstances.

(b) Investments that are not traded in an active marketare valued using valuation techniques. The Funds usea variety of methods and make assumptions that arebased on market conditions existing at eachreporting date. Valuation techniques include the useof comparable recent arm’s length transactions,reference to other instruments that are substantiallythe same, discounted cash flow analysis, optionpricing models and other techniques commonly usedby market participants and which make themaximum use of observable inputs. The fair value ofcertain securities may be estimated using valuationtechniques based on assumptions that are notsupported by observable market inputs.

(c) Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued basedon the difference between the contractual forwardrates and the mid forward rates for currency heldlong or sold short at the measurement date.

(d) Swap contracts are valued at the amount that wouldbe received or paid to terminate the swap, based onthe current value of the underlying interest on themeasurement date.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents are comprised of depositswith financial institutions with an original maturity dateof 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cashequivalents are reported at fair value which closelyapproximates their amortized cost due to their nature ofbeing highly liquid and having short terms to maturity.Where cash and cash equivalents are in net bankoverdraft positions, these are presented as currentliabilities in the Statements of Financial Position.

Commissions and other portfolio transaction costsCommissions and other portfolio transaction costs areincremental costs that are directly attributable to theacquisition, issue or disposal of an investment, whichinclude fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors,brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies andsecurities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Suchcosts are expensed and are included in “Commissions andother portfolio transaction costs” in the Statements ofComprehensive Income.

Cost of investmentsThe cost of investments represents the amount paid foreach security, and is determined on an average cost basisexcluding commissions and other portfolio transactioncosts, where applicable.

Investment transactions and incomeInvestment transactions are accounted for on the tradedate. Realized gains and losses on sale of investmentsand unrealized appreciation and depreciation ofinvestments are calculated on an average cost basis.

Page 102: Semi-Annual Financial Statements - AGF · The accompanying financial statements of the Funds (as defined in Note 1(a)) have been prepared byAGF Investments Inc. (the “Manager”).

Interest for distribution purposes shown in theStatements of Comprehensive Income represents couponinterest on debt instruments accounted for on an accrualbasis. Interest receivable is included in “Dividends andinterest receivable” in the Statements of FinancialPosition based on the debt instruments’ stated rates ofinterest. The Funds do not amortize premiums paid ordiscounts received on the purchase of fixed incomesecurities except for zero-coupon bonds, which areamortized on an effective yield basis.

Dividend income and distributions from ETFs arerecognized on ex-dividend date. Securities lending incomeis recognized on a cash basis.

Foreign exchange forward contractsThe Funds may enter into foreign exchange forwardcontracts for economic hedging purposes or to establishan exposure to a particular currency. Unrealized gainsand losses on foreign exchange forward contracts areincluded in “Net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) in value of derivatives” in the Statementsof Comprehensive Income. Upon closing of a contract,the gain or loss is included in “Net realized gain (loss) onderivatives”. Outstanding settlement amounts on theclose out of foreign exchange forward contracts areincluded in “Receivable for foreign exchange forwardcontracts” or “Payable for foreign exchange forwardcontracts” in the Statements of Financial Position.

Total return swapsIn order to achieve the investment objective, certainfunds may enter into total return swap agreements(each a “Swap Agreement”) with one or morecounterparties as a substitute for investing directly insecurities, or to gain exposure to an underlying referenceasset. Under the terms of each Swap Agreement, thefund pays the counterparty a variable amount basedupon prevailing short-term market interest ratescomputed upon an agreed notional amount and anequity amount based upon any decline in value of anotional investment in a notional number of units thevalue of each of which will equal the value of theunderlying reference asset. In return, the counterpartywill pay the fund an equity amount based upon anyincrease in value of the underlying reference asset. Thetotal return will be comprised of notional income whichwould be earned on a notional investment in thereference asset plus any notional appreciation in thevalue of the underlying reference asset or, as the casemay be, minus any reduction in the value of theunderlying reference asset. The terms of each SwapAgreement require the funds to pledge short-term debtobligations to the counterparty to secure the payment ofthe fund’s payment obligations under the SwapAgreement.

The interest payments to the counterparty are accrueddaily by the Funds, payable monthly, and are included in“Derivative income (loss)” in the Statements ofComprehensive Income.

Unrealized gains and losses on total return swaps areincluded in “Net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) in value of derivatives” in the Statementsof Comprehensive Income. Upon closing of a contract,the gain or loss is included in “Net realized gain (loss) onderivatives”.

Investments in associates and subsidiariesThe Funds have determined that they meet the definitionof “investment entities”. An investment entity is an entitythat (i) obtains funds from one or more investors for thepurpose of providing them with investment managementservices; (ii) commits to its investors that its businesspurpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capitalappreciation, investment income, or both; and (iii)measures and evaluates the performance ofsubstantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.The most significant judgment that the Funds have madein determining that they meet this definition is that fairvalue is used as the primary measurement attribute tomeasure and evaluate the performance of substantiallyall of their investments.

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Funds havecontrol through their exposure or rights to variablereturns and have the ability to affect those returnsthrough their power over the entities. As the Funds meetthe definition of an investment entity, subsidiaries, if any,are measured at FVTPL. The Funds’ investments mayalso include associates over which the Funds havesignificant influence and these are also measured atFVTPL.

Interest in unconsolidated structured entitiesA structured entity is an entity that has been designed sothat voting or similar rights are not the dominant factorin deciding who controls the entity, such as when anyvoting rights relate to administrative tasks only and therelevant activities are directed by means of contractualarrangements. The Funds may invest in ETFs to helpachieve their respective investment objectives. The Fundshave determined that holdings in ETFs meet thedefinition of structured entities and as a result, suchinvestments are accounted for at FVTPL. The ETFs heldby the Funds are concluded to be structured entities as (i)the voting rights in these entities are not dominantfactors in deciding who controls them; (ii) their activitiesare restricted by the prospectus; and (iii) the entitieshave narrow and well-defined objectives to provideinvestment opportunities for investors while passing onthe associated risks and rewards.

Certain ETFs held by the Funds may employ leverage in amanner consistent with their respective investmentobjectives or as permitted by Canadian securitiesregulatory authorities. The ETFs finance their operationsby issuing redeemable units, which are puttable at theholder’s option and entitles the holder to a proportionatestake in the respective net assets. A fund has the right to

request redemption of its investments in ETFs on eachvaluation date. Additional information on the Funds’interest in ETFs, as applicable, is provided in therespective fund’s Notes to Financial Statements – FundSpecific Information.

The Funds’ holdings in ETFs, as applicable, are included inthe Schedule of Investment Portfolio and represent theFunds’ maximum exposure to these investments. Thechange in fair value of these investments is included in“Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) invalue of investments” in the Statements ofComprehensive Income.

Offsetting of financial assets and liabilitiesFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the netamount is reported in the Statements of FinancialPosition when there is a legally enforceable right to offsetthe recognized amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle theliability simultaneously. In the normal course of business,the Funds enter into various master nettingarrangements or other similar agreements that do notmeet the criteria for offsetting in the Statements ofFinancial Position, but still allow for the related amountsto be set off in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcyor termination of the contracts.

The disclosures set out in the Offsetting of FinancialAssets and Liabilities tables in the respective fund’sNotes to Financial Statements – Fund SpecificInformation, as applicable, include assets and liabilities ofthe Swap Agreements that are subject to an enforceablemaster netting arrangement. Transactions withindividual counterparties are governed by separatemaster netting agreements. Each agreement allows fornet settlement of certain open contracts where a fundand its respective counterparty both elect to settle on anet basis. In the absence of such an election, contractswill be settled on a gross basis. However, each party tothe master netting agreement will have the option tosettle all open contracts on a net basis in the event ofdefault of the other party.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc.Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) governthe Swap Agreements entered into by certain funds andselect counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreementsmaintain provisions for general obligations,representations, agreements, collateral and events ofdefault or termination. Events of termination includeconditions that may entitle counterparties to elect toterminate early and cause settlement of all outstandingtransactions under the applicable ISDA MasterAgreement. Any election to terminate early could bematerial to the financial statements. The fair value ofSwap Agreements net of collateral received in or pledgedby the counterparty is disclosed in the respective fund’sNotes to Financial Statements – Fund SpecificInformation.

The Funds may be subject to various master agreementsor netting arrangements with select counterparties. Asthe master agreements are specific to unique operationsof different asset types, they allow the Funds to close outand net their total exposure to a counterparty in theevent of a default with respect to the transactionsgoverned under a single agreement with a counterparty.

Securities lending transactions are also subject to masternetting arrangements as discussed below (refer toSecurities lending transactions). Information on otherfinancial assets and liabilities that are subject to masternetting or similar arrangements, as applicable, isdisclosed in the respective fund’s Notes to FinancialStatements – Fund Specific Information.

Impairment of financial assetsAt each reporting date, the Funds assess whether there isobjective evidence that a financial asset at amortizedcost is impaired. If such evidence exists, the Fundsrecognize an impairment loss as the difference betweenthe amortized cost of the financial asset and the presentvalue of the estimated future cash flows, discountedusing the instrument’s original effective interest rate.Impairment losses on financial assets at amortized costare reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of theloss decreases and the decrease can be relatedobjectively to an event occurring after the impairmentwas recognized.

Redeemable unitsThe outstanding redeemable units of the Funds may beredeemed by unitholders for cash at a redemptiondiscount to the closing price on the Exchange on anytrading day. Refer to Note 6 for further details. Due tothis difference in redemption attribute, the Funds’outstanding redeemable units are classified as financialliabilities in accordance with the requirements of IAS 32,Financial Instruments: Presentation. The Funds’obligations for net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units are measured at redemption amounts.

Foreign currency translationThe financial statements are expressed in Canadiandollars, which is the Funds’ functional and presentationcurrency. Foreign currency transactions and balances aretranslated into the functional currency as follows:

(a) Assets, including fair value of investments, andliabilities denominated in foreign currencies areconverted into Canadian dollars at the exchangerates prevailing at the valuation date.

(b) Purchases and sales of investments, dividends andinterest income denominated in foreign currencies areconverted into Canadian dollars at the exchangerates prevailing on the respective dates of suchtransactions.

(c) Foreign exchange gains and losses on investments

The Funds’ weighted average numberof units outstanding during the periods ended March 31,2020 and 2019 is disclosed in Note 6.

Securities lending transactionsThe Funds may enter into securities lendingarrangements. These transactions involve the temporaryexchange of securities for collateral with a commitmentto deliver the same securities on demand. Income isearned from these transactions in the form of fees paidby the counterparty (“lending fees”) and, in certaincircumstances, interest paid on cash or securities held ascollateral (“lending interest income”). Income earnedfrom these transactions is included in “Securities lendingincome” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Areconciliation of the gross amount generated fromsecurities lending transactions to the amounts of lendingfees and lending interest income earned by each fund forthe periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is disclosed inthe respective fund’s Notes to Financial Statements –Fund Specific Information.

The aggregate market value of all securities loaned by afund is not permitted to exceed 50% of the Net AssetValue of that fund. The minimum allowable collateral is102% of the current value of the loaned securities as perthe requirements of National Instrument 81–102.Collateral received is composed of cash (Canadian andU.S. Dollar) as well as debt obligations of theGovernment of Canada and other countries, Canadianprovincial governments and financial institutions, and isnot included in the Schedule of Investment Portfolio.Cash collateral is included in “Cash collateral received forsecurities on loan” and “Payable for cash collateral undersecurities lending” in the Statements of FinancialPosition.

The market value of the loaned securities is determinedon the close of any valuation date, and any additionalrequired collateral is delivered to the funds on the nextbusiness day. The securities on loan continue to beincluded in the Schedule of Investment Portfolio, and are

included in “Investments at fair value through profit orloss” in the Statements of Financial Position. All thecounterparties have an approved credit rating equivalentto a Standard & Poor’s credit rating of not less than A-1(low) on their short-term debt or A on their long-termdebt.

Securities lending transactions are subject to enforceablemaster netting arrangements that allow for relatedamounts to be set-off when certain conditions arise.Under such circumstances, the Funds have the right toretain and dispose of the collateral to the extentnecessary to satisfy their claims. The related amounts, asapplicable, are disclosed in the respective fund’s Notes toFinancial Statements – Fund Specific Information andare not offset in the Statements of Financial Position.The net of fair value of securities on loan and fair value ofcash collateral received represents the impact on therespective fund if the set-off right was exercised.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES ANDJUDGMENTS:The preparation of financial statements requiresmanagement to use judgment in applying its accountingpolicies and to make estimates and assumptions thatmay affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,income and expenses as at and during the period. Actualresults could differ from these estimates. The followingdiscusses the most significant accounting judgments andestimates that the Funds have made in preparing thefinancial statements:

Fair value measurement of derivatives and securities notquoted in an active marketThe Funds may hold financial instruments that are notquoted in active markets, including derivatives. Fairvalues of such instruments are determined usingvaluation techniques and may be determined usingreputable pricing sources or indicative prices from marketmakers. Broker quotes as obtained from the pricingsources may be indicative and not executable or binding.Where no market data is available, the Manager mayvalue the Funds’ positions using its own models, whichare usually based on valuation methods and techniquesgenerally recognized as standard within the industry. Themodels used to determine fair values are validated andperiodically reviewed by experienced personnel of theManager. Private equity securities are valued primarilybased on valuation techniques as discussed in Note 2.These models use observable data, to the extentpracticable. However, due to inherent uncertainty ofvaluations of such investments, the fair values may differfrom the values that would have been used should anactive market existed.

Classification of financial instrumentsIn classifying financial instruments held by the Funds, theManager is required to make significant judgments indetermining the most appropriate classification in

Page 105: Semi-Annual Financial Statements - AGF · The accompanying financial statements of the Funds (as defined in Note 1(a)) have been prepared byAGF Investments Inc. (the “Manager”).

accordance with IFRS 9. The Manager has assessed theFunds’ business models, the manner in which all financialassets and financial liabilities are managed andperformance evaluated as a group on a fair value basis,and concluded that FVTPL in accordance with IFRS 9provides the most appropriate classification of theFunds’ financial instruments.

Investment entityIn determining whether the Funds are investmententities, the Manager may be required to makesignificant judgments on whether the Funds meet thecriteria and typical characteristics within IFRS 10,Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain funds mayhold only one investment, have only one investor, or haveinvestors that are related parties; however, the Fundsmeet the investment entity definition as discussed inNote 2 (refer to Investments in associates andsubsidiaries).

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Fair value measurementThe fair value hierarchy framework provides informationto financial statement users about the relativeobservability of inputs to fair value measurements. Thehierarchy has the following levels:

● Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active marketsfor identical assets or liabilities;

● Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included inLevel 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derivedfrom prices); and

● Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observablemarket data (unobservable inputs).

The classification within the hierarchy is based on thelowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement. Refer to Notes to Financial Statements –Fund Specific Information of each fund for the fair valuemeasurement disclosure.

All fair value measurements are recurring. Fair values areclassified as Level 1 when the related security orderivative is actively traded and a quoted price isavailable. If an instrument classified as Level 1subsequently ceases to be actively traded, it istransferred out of Level 1. In such cases, the instrument isreclassified into Level 2, unless the measurement of itsfair value requires the use of significant unobservableinputs, in which case it is classified as Level 3. The Funds’policy is to recognize transfers into and out of the fairvalue hierarchy levels as of the date of the event orchange in circumstances giving rise to the transfer.

The Manager is responsible for performing the fair valuemeasurements included in the financial statements ofthe Funds, including Level 3 measurements. At each

reporting date, the Manager reviews and approves allLevel 3 fair value measurements. The Manager also has aValuation Committee which performs detailed reviews ofthe valuations of investments held by the Funds.

Management of financial instrument risksIn the normal course of business, each fund may beexposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidityrisk, market risk (including interest rate risk, other pricerisk and currency risk), leverage risk and concentrationrisk. The fair value of investments within a fund’sportfolio can fluctuate on a daily basis as a result ofchanges in interest rates, economic conditions, marketand company news related to specific securities withinthe fund. Market prices may be impacted by financialmarkets and political conditions, war and occupation,terrorism and related geopolitical risks, natural disasters,and public health emergencies, including an epidemic orpandemic. The level of risk depends on the fund’sinvestment objectives and the type of securities it investsin.

Each fund’s exposure to financial risks, as applicable, isdisclosed in the respective fund’s Notes to FinancialStatements – Fund Specific Information.

AGFI maintains a risk management practice thatincludes regular monitoring of the returns based on therisk profile of the Funds. AGFI also monitors compliancewith investment restrictions to ensure that such fundsare being managed in accordance with their statedinvestment objectives, strategies and securitiesregulations.

Some funds specialize in a particular industry, or in asingle country or geographic region of the world. Thesefunds may therefore be more volatile than more broadlydiversified funds. The overall risk management programof such funds seeks to minimize the potentially adverseeffect of risk on each fund’s financial performance in amanner consistent with its investment objective.Constraints and/or controls designed to foster portfoliodiversification, liquidity and risk mitigation areincorporated in the portfolio models.

Credit riskCredit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financialinstrument will fail to discharge an obligation orcommitment that it has entered into with a fund.

Where a fund invests in debt instruments and derivativesor participates in securities lending, this represents themain concentration of credit risk. The fair value of debtinstruments and derivatives includes consideration of thecreditworthiness of the issuer and/or counterparty, andin the case of securities lending, creditworthiness of theborrower. This represents the maximum credit riskexposure of the fund. The credit risk related to thesecurities lending program is limited as each fund holdscollateral of at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned

securities. The collateral and loaned securities aremarked to market on each valuation date and each fundlends no more than 50% of its Net Asset Value.

Certain funds invest in ETFs and may be exposed toindirect credit risk in the event that the ETFs invest indebt instruments and derivatives. Each fund is alsoexposed to counterparty credit risk on cash and cashequivalents, amounts due from brokers and otherreceivable balances. All transactions executed by a fundin listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery usingapproved brokers. The risk of default is consideredminimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made oncethe broker has received payment. Payment is made on apurchase once the securities have been received by thebroker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet itsobligation.

References made to credit ratings are obtained fromStandard & Poor’s and/or Dominion Bond Rating Service.Where one or more rating is obtained for a security, thelowest rating has been used.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is defined as the risk that a fund may not beable to settle or meet its obligation on time or at areasonable price.

Each fund is exposed to daily cash redemptions ofredeemable units. The units of each fund are issued andredeemed on demand at the then current Net AssetValue per unit at the option of the unitholder. Liquidityrisk is managed by investing the majority of each fund’sassets in investments that are traded in an active marketand can be readily disposed. In accordance with securitiesregulations, each fund must invest at least 90% of assetsin liquid investments at the time of purchase (i.e.investments that are traded in an active market and canbe readily disposed of). In addition, each fund aims toretain sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions tomaintain liquidity, and has the ability to borrow up to 5%of its Net Asset Value for the purpose of fundingredemptions, except for AGFiQ US Long/Short DividendIncome CAD-Hedged ETF and AGFiQ US Market NeutralAnti-Beta CAD-Hedged ETF as discussed below (refer toLeverage risk).

Each fund may, from time to time, invest in securitiesthat are not traded in an active market and may beilliquid. Such investments include those that areidentified as private and/or restricted securities in theapplicable Schedule of Investment Portfolio. The Fundsmay also employ the use of derivatives to moderatecertain risk exposures. There is no guarantee that amarket will exist for some derivatives and it is possiblethat the exchanges may impose limits on trading ofderivatives.

As at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Funds’redeemable units are redeemable on demand at the

option of the unitholder. All other financial liabilities ofthe Funds mature in one year or less.

Interest rate riskInterest rate risk arises from the possibility that changesin interest rates will affect future cash flows or fair valuesof financial instruments.

Interest rate risk arises when a fund invests in interest-bearing financial instruments. The fund is exposed to therisk that the value of such financial instruments willfluctuate due to changes in the prevailing levels ofmarket interest rates. There is minimal fair valuesensitivity to interest rate fluctuations on any cash andcash equivalents invested at short-term market interestrates.

Certain funds invest in ETFs and may be exposed toindirect interest rate risk in the event that the ETFs investin interest-bearing financial instruments.

Other price riskOther price risk is the risk that the fair value or futurecash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate becauseof changes in market prices (other than those arisingfrom interest rate risk or currency risk). The methodologyused to calculate the sensitivity impact on net assetsattributable to holders of redeemable units may result ina figure that exceeds the net assets attributable toholders of redeemable units of the fund; however, themaximum loss that can be sustained by the holders ofredeemable units of the fund in aggregate may notexceed the net assets attributable to holders ofredeemable units.

The portfolio management team of the Funds aims tomoderate this risk through the use of a proprietary,multi-factor and quantitative investment process toconstruct portfolios within the limits of the respectivefund’s investment objectives and strategy. The maximumrisk resulting from financial instruments is determined bythe fair value of the financial instruments. Each fund’soverall market position is monitored regularly by theportfolio management team. Financial instruments heldby each fund are susceptible to market price risk arisingfrom uncertainties about future prices of theinstruments.

The portfolio asset allocations of the Funds are alsoreconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly or quarterlybasis, but have the latitude to rebalance on an ad hocbasis should market conditions dictate.

Currency riskCurrency risk is the risk that the value of a financialinstrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreignexchange rates.

Currency risk arises from financial instruments(including cash and cash equivalents) that aredenominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars,

which represents the functional currency of the Funds.Each fund may enter into foreign exchange forwardcontracts for hedging purposes to reduce its foreigncurrency exposure, or to establish exposure to foreigncurrencies.

Certain funds invest in ETFs and may be exposed toindirect currency risk in the event that the ETFs invest infinancial instruments that are denominated in a currencyother than Canadian dollars.

Leverage riskLeverage occurs when a fund’s notional exposure tounderlying assets is greater than the amount investedand is an investment technique that can magnify gainsand losses. Consequently, any adverse change in thevalue or level of the underlying asset, rate or index mayamplify losses compared to those that would have beenincurred if the underlying asset had been held directly bythe fund, and may result in losses greater than theamount invested in the derivative itself. Leverage mayincrease volatility, impair a fund’s liquidity or cause a fundto liquidate positions at unfavourable times. Leveragecan be created through the use of cash borrowings, shortsales and/or derivatives.

Under National Instrument 81-102, AGFiQ US Long/ShortDividend Income CAD-Hedged ETF and AGFiQ USMarket Neutral Anti-Beta CAD-Hedged ETF may borrowup to a maximum of 50% of its Net Asset Value and maysell securities short whereby the aggregate market valueof the securities sold short will be limited to 50% of itsNet Asset Value. The combined use of short-selling andcash borrowing by each of these funds is subject to anoverall limit of 50% of its Net Asset Value. The funds havereceived exemptive relief from National Instrument81-102 in order to (i) permit the aggregate market valueof all securities sold short by the funds to be limited to100% of its Net Asset Value, and (ii) permit theaggregate market value of any securities sold short bysuch funds combined with the aggregate value of cashborrowing, if any, to be subject to an overall limit of 100%of its Net Asset Value.

Leverage of AGFiQ US Long/Short Dividend IncomeCAD-Hedged ETF and AGFiQ US Market Neutral Anti-Beta CAD-Hedged ETF is calculated as the sum of thefollowing: (i) the aggregate market value of cashborrowing; (ii) the aggregate market value of securitiessold short; and (iii) the aggregate notional value ofspecified derivatives positions excluding any specifiedderivatives used for hedging purposes. The fund’saggregate gross exposure must not exceed 300% of itsNet Asset Value, calculated on a daily basis.

During the period ended March 31, 2020, the aggregateamount of leverage exercised by AGFiQ US Long/ShortDividend Income CAD-Hedged ETF and AGFiQ USMarket Neutral Anti-Beta CAD-Hedged ETF ranged from93.2% to 151.3% and 123.2% to 154.8% of Net Asset Value,respectively, through the use of derivatives.

Investments in U.S. treasury bills that have been pledgedto the counterparty as collateral against the swaps as atMarch 31, 2020 for AGFiQ US Long/Short DividendIncome CAD-Hedged ETF and AGFiQ US Market NeutralAnti-Beta CAD-Hedged ETF are set out in the Offsettingof Financial Assets and Liabilities tables in the respectivefund’s Notes to Financial Statements – Fund SpecificInformation, as applicable.

Concentration riskConcentration risk arises as a result of the concentrationof exposures within the same category, whether it isgeographical location, asset type, industry sector orcounterparty exposure. The disclosure of concentrationrisk is provided in the Notes to Financial Statements –Fund Specific Information of each fund.

5. TAXATION:(a) The Funds qualify as mutual fund trusts under the

Income Tax Act (Canada). In accordance with theterms of the Declaration of Trust, all of the netincome for tax purposes and sufficient net realizedcapital gains, determined in Canadian dollars, will bepaid or payable to unitholders in the taxation year sothat no income tax is payable by the funds(after taking into account capital gains tax refundsand prior year unutilized losses, as applicable). TheFunds elected to have their taxation years end onDecember 15 of each calendar year.All or substantially all of the Funds’ net income for taxpurposes and sufficient net capital gains realized inany period are required to be distributed tounitholders such that no income tax is payable by theFunds. As a result, the Funds have determined thatthey are in substance not taxable and therefore donot record income taxes in the Statements ofComprehensive Income. Consequently, the tax benefitof capital and non-capital losses and othertemporary differences have not been reflected in theStatements of Financial Position as deferred incometax assets or liabilities.

(b) As of the Funds’ most recent taxation year end ofDecember 15, 2019, the following funds had availablecapital and non-capital losses as follows:

(c) The Funds may incur withholding taxes imposed bycertain countries on investment income and capitalgains. Such income and gains are recorded on a grossbasis and the related withholding taxes are includedin “Foreign withholding taxes”, which are shown as aseparate expense in the Statements ofComprehensive Income.

6. REDEEMABLE UNITS:Units issued and outstanding represent the capital of theFunds. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimitednumber of redeemable and transferable units, whichrepresent an equal and undivided interest in the netassets attributable to holders of redeemable units. TheFunds are listed on the Exchange and investors may buyor sell units on the Exchange through a registered brokeror dealer in the province or territory where the investorresides. Investors may incur customary brokeragecommissions when buying or selling the units.

On any trading day, which is defined as a day on whichthe Exchange is opened for business, a designated brokeror dealer may place a subscription or exchange order forthe prescribed number of units (or an integral multiplethereof) of the Funds. If the subscription or exchangeorder is accepted, the applicable fund will issue orexchange units to/from the designated broker or dealerby no later than the second trading day (or third tradingday pursuant to exemptive relief the fund may haveobtained) after the date on which the subscription order

is accepted, provided that payment for such units hasbeen received. For each prescribed number of units issuedor redeemed, a designated broker or dealer must deliveror receive payment consisting of, in the Manager’sdiscretion, (i) a basket of applicable securities and cash;or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Net Asset Value ofthe units exchanged.

On any trading day, unitholders may redeem units of theFunds for cash at a redemption price per unit equal to thelesser of (i) 95% of the closing price for the units on theExchange; and (ii) the Net Asset Value per unit on theeffective day of the redemption. In order for a cashredemption to be effective on a trading day, a cashredemption request in the form prescribed by theManager from time to time must be delivered to theapplicable fund at its registered office by the applicablecut-off time set out in the Funds’ prospectus. If a cashredemption request is not received by such time, the cashredemption request will be effective on the next tradingday. Payment of the redemption price will be made by nolater than the second trading day (or third trading daypursuant to exemptive relief the fund may have obtained)after the effective date of the redemption.

The Funds have no restrictions or specific capitalrequirements on the subscription and redemption ofunits, other than minimum subscription requirements.The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Attributable toHolders of Redeemable Units identifies changes in eachfund’s capital during the periods. AGFI manages thecapital of the Funds in accordance with the Funds’investment objectives, including managing their liquidityin order to be able to meet redemptions as discussed inNote 4.

Unitholders on record date are entitled to distributions, inthe form of cash or units, in accordance with thedistribution policy disclosed in the prospectus. Notional(i.e. non-cash) distributions are reinvested in additionalunits and these units will be immediately consolidatedsuch that the number of outstanding units following thedistribution will equal the number of outstanding unitsprior to the distribution and the Net Asset Value per unitremains unchanged. Such distributions increase theadjusted cost base of the unitholder.
