Risk Management
RISK MANAGEMENT
Our approach to risk management aligns with our objective to deliver both strong long-term absolute and
risk-adjusted returns
INVESTMENT SECURITY SELECTION
• Invest where expected return potential
exceeds our estimate of the associated
cost of equity
• Return potential assessed based on long
term fundamentals, valuation analysis
and consideration of inherently uncertain
future fundamentals
• Focus on high quality businesses with
appropriate capital structures and long
term dividend stability
PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION
• Target portfolio diversification on an inter
and intra sector basis
• Recognize correlations among holdings
• Individual weights strike a balance between
minimizing non-systematic risk and
allowing for our best ideas to have a
meaningful impact
• Variability of security weights in the
portfolio is generally less than in the
benchmark
PORTFOLIO RISK EVALUATION
• Risks are continually reviewed to confirm that exposures are
UNDERSTOOD and consistent with our INTENT and
CONVICTIONS
• Portfolio Risk Evaluation is supported by Franklin Templeton
Investments’ independent Global Investment Performance
Services, Portfolio Analysis and Investment Risk Group

15
Bissett Equities
Investment Style and Process
• Sector exposure is an outcome of our bottom up security selection process
• Sector over and under weightings reflect the availability of securities which
meet our investment characteristics within each sector
• Due to our disciplined style significant sector over and under weightings occur
• Consequently, the Fund exhibits significant benchmark risk
• However, absolute return volatility is reduced due to our focus on businesses
with more moderate revenue/cash flow/earnings volatility
For Broker/Dealer Use Only. Not for Distribution to the Public.
16
Fixed Income Investment Style and Process
• Generate above average yield-to-maturity and stable income
- Overweight corporate issues
- Rigorous macro research and analysis
- Invest at inflection point of yield curve
• Manage investment risk through:
- Laddered maturity schedule
- Diversify corporate holdings; investment grade credits only
- Thorough credit analysis

Performance Attribution
12-Month Period Ended June 30, 2012
• The Fund returned 3.6%*, compared to the Fund’s custom benchmark**, which returned -2.5% for the 12month period
Contributors:
• Canadian equities posted positive returns in comparison to sharp declines in the benchmark index
− Security selection and higher than benchmark exposure to the Telecommunications Services sector led
to positive contribution
− Security selection in Industrials (Bird Construction, Russel Metals) added value and outweighed the
lack of exposure to railway equities which were also strong during the period
− Security selection in the Energy sector (Mullen Group and Enbridge) contributed to performance during
the period
− Low exposure to the Materials sector which was weak due to volatile commodity prices and poor stock
performance
• U.S. equities outperformed the benchmark; however, contribution was partly offset as portfolio allocation was
lower than the S&P 500 in the blended benchmark
Detractors:
• Overweight and poor security selection in the domestic Consumer Discretionary sector
− Thomson Reuters, Reitman’s (Canada) posted disappointing results
• Fixed Income was a slight drag on total portfolio performance notwithstanding decent absolute returns
− Overweight spread product and shorter than benchmark duration were negative factors
*Series A.

Investment Outlook
• Canadian equity benchmarks are now lagging their U.S. counterparts after more than a
decade of outperformance due to the greater resources exposure in our benchmark
• Evidence of slower economic growth as well as continued volatility in capital markets
may limit the potential for further valuation expansion
• Defensive investments may be positioned for decent relative performance if the current
environment persists
• Corporate earnings have been supported by aggressive cost cutting but opportunities to
reduce expenses are declining; revenues have not recovered sufficiently to maintain the
pace of earnings growth in the absence of more expense reduction
• Investors should expect a period of more modest capital appreciation; more meaningful
contribution to total return from dividends than from capital gains is likely in the near term
• We expect that our defensive GARP investment style with an emphasis on yield should
continue to deliver attractive returns with low volatility over the long-term
