Management Discussion of Fund Performance
Investment Objectives and StrategiesThe investment objective of the TD High Yield Bond Fund (“Fund”)
is to seek to provide income and the opportunity for capital
apprecia-tion over the longer term. In seeking to achieve this objective, the
Fund invests primarily in high-yield corporate bonds or other income
producing securities located anywhere in the world. The Fund
employs a bottom-up, “buy-and-hold” strategy emphasizing analysis
of individual corporations in the context of a global macro economic
environment, selecting securities based on methodical risk/return
analysis aiming to maximize risk adjusted returns for the Fund.
RiskThe risks of investing in the Fund remain as outlined in the
simplified prospectus.
Results of Operations
The Investor Series units of the Fund returned negative 5.7 percent*
for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“Reporting Period”), versus
negative 2.7 percent for the Fund’s product benchmark, the BofA
Merrill Lynch BB-B US High Yield Index (Hedged, C$). Returns for
other series of the Fund may vary, largely due to differences in fees
and expenses. Unlike the benchmark, the Fund’s return is quoted
after the deduction of fees and expenses.
Market Update
Relatively strong employment figures and real wage growth, along
with a number of other economic indicators that pointed to areas
of strength in the U.S. economy, prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve
Board (“Fed”) to raise its federal funds interest rate by 0.25 percent
in December 2015. This marked the Fed’s first interest rate increase
since before the global economic downturn of 2008. The interest
rate hike also came at a time when central banks across the world
were dropping their interest rates in response to continued economic
weakness. These diverging central bank policies resulted in a stronger
U.S. dollar compared to many other global currencies.
The yield curve flattened over the Reporting Period. U.S. Treasuries
rose at the shorter end of the yield curve, while intermediate and
longer bonds ended the Reporting Period largely unchanged.
High-yield corporate bonds declined, with prices and spreads somewhat
volatile during the Reporting Period. The BofA Merrill Lynch US High
Yield Master II Index declined approximately 5 percent. As a number
of high-yield issuers tend to be resource-based companies, falling oil
and commodity prices negatively impacted these issuers’ results and
caused spreads to widen.
In addition, fixed income market volatility increased as investors
speculated about when the Fed would begin to raise interest rates
and the pace of future interest rate increases. Slowing economic
growth from China further affected demand for commodities.
The high-yield bond market was challenged as a result of concerns
about commodity-related issuers and the potential implications
on liquidity.
Key Contributors/Detractors
Overall, sector and quality selection detracted from the Fund’s
relative performance.
• The Fund’s 9 percent overweight exposure to CCC-rated bonds
detracted from relative performance as these bonds
underper-formed B-rated and BB-rated high-yield bonds. However, the Fund’s
approximately 13 percent underweight exposure to U.S.
dollar-denominated energy bonds contributed to relative performance as
the energy sector struggled with declining oil prices.
• Security selection, particularly in the resource and industrials
sectors, detracted from relative performance. However, the Fund’s
yield advantage versus the BofA Merrill Lynch BB-B US High Yield
Index (Hedged, C$), which was obtained through positive security
selection, contributed to relative performance.
High-yield bonds may potentially become illiquid securities. The
Portfolio Adviser assesses the liquidity of securities at the time of
purchase by the Fund. Existing holdings are assessed to determine
liquidity by the Portfolio Adviser as part of the ongoing investment
process. Consistent with National Instrument NI 81-102 – Mutual
Funds, the Fund will hold cash and cash equivalents to ensure
sufficient liquidity to meet unitholder redemptions.
Assets
The Investor Series, Premium Series, Advisor Series and S-Series
units of the Fund experienced a significant decrease in assets due
to investor redemption activity. The Premium F-Series units of the
Fund experienced a significant increase in assets due to investor
purchase activity.
Recent Developments
The Fund continues to emphasize capital preservation within active
fixed income portfolios without sacrificing yield advantage relative to
the BofA Merrill Lynch BB-B US High Yield Index (Hedged, C$). The
Portfolio Adviser is mindful of macroeconomic factors, including slow
global growth, elevated sovereign debt levels, demographic trends
and inflationary/disinflationary pressures. However, within the context
of slow growth, economic improvements in the U.S. and continuing
high levels of central bank liquidity globally have helped to reduce
the probability of extreme outcomes. The Portfolio Adviser anticipates
that global central banks should maintain their accommodative
stance for some time.
As the U.S. economic outlook continues to improve, positive
develop-ments in the labour force and inflation provided the confidence
necessary for the Fed to raise interest rates from historically low
levels. However, much of the global economy is still using
accom-modative monetary policies to spur economic growth. The Portfolio
Adviser anticipates that this divergence in monetary policy between
the U.S. and other developed economies may create periods of
increased volatility with a potential for reduced liquidity.
n
The Portfolio Adviser anticipates that active management with
a focus on quality and liquidity could serve the Fund well in the
current environment.

1 This information is derived from the Fund’s audited annual financial statements. The Fund adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
on January 1, 2014 and accordingly adjusted the immediately preceding financial year ended December 31, 2013 to reflect the amounts in accordance with IFRS. Previously, financial statements were prepared as per Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) under which the Fund measured fair values of its investments based on bid prices for long positions and ask prices for short positions. As such, the net assets per unit presented in the financial statements may have differed from the net asset value (“NAV”) per unit calculated for fund pricing purposes. Under IFRS, the Fund measures fair values of its investments based on close market prices, where the close market price falls within the bid-ask spread or based on quotations from recognized dealers. As such, the Fund’s accounting policies for measuring the fair value of investments in the financial statements are substantively consistent with those used in measuring the NAV for transactions with unitholders. All figures presented prior to January 1, 2013 were prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
2 Net assets and distributions are based on the actual number of units outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations presented
above starting from fiscal year 2013 are based on the weighted average number of units outstanding over the financial periods. The increase (decrease) from operations prior to 2013 were calculated by aggregating each valuation day’s increase (decrease) from operations divided by the number of units outstanding on that date. This table is not intended to be a reconciliation of the net assets per unit.

1 This information is derived from the Fund’s audited annual financial statements. The Fund adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
on January 1, 2014 and accordingly adjusted the immediately preceding financial year ended December 31, 2013 to reflect the amounts in accordance with IFRS. Previously, financial statements were prepared as per Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) under which the Fund measured fair values of its investments based on bid prices for long positions and ask prices for short positions. As such, the net assets per unit presented in the financial statements may have differed from the net asset value (“NAV”) per unit calculated for fund pricing purposes. Under IFRS, the Fund measures fair values of its investments based on close market prices, where the close market price falls within the bid-ask spread or based on quotations from recognized dealers. As such, the Fund’s accounting policies for measuring the fair value of investments in the financial statements are substantively consistent with those used in measuring the NAV for transactions with unitholders. All figures presented prior to January 1, 2013 were prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
2 Net assets and distributions are based on the actual number of units outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations presented
above starting from fiscal year 2013 are based on the weighted average number of units outstanding over the financial periods. The increase (decrease) from operations prior to 2013 were calculated by aggregating each valuation day’s increase (decrease) from operations divided by the number of units outstanding on that date. This table is not intended to be a reconciliation of the net assets per unit.

Management Fees
As manager and trustee of the Fund, TDAM is responsible for the
overall business and affairs of the Fund including activities related
to making units of the Fund available to investors, and providing,
or arranging for the provision of, investment advisory services and
marketing services to the Fund. In consideration for the provision
of such services, each series of the Fund, other than O-Series units,
pays TDAM a management fee.
Management fees are calculated and accrued as a percentage of
the net asset value of each series of units of the Fund, as of the
close of business on each business day for each series and are paid
monthly to TDAM.
The maximum management fee is the maximum fee that can be
charged to each series of units of the Fund according to the
simplified prospectus. TDAM may charge management fees that are
less than the management fees TDAM is otherwise entitled to charge
each series of units of the Fund. The actual management fee is the
annualized fee that was charged for the Reporting Period. TDAM may
charge the maximum management fee without notice to unitholders.
Management fees for the Reporting Period and a breakdown of the
major services rendered for each series, as a percentage of the actual
management fees, are as follows:

future general economic, political and relevant market factors, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity and capital
markets, and the general business environment, in each case assuming no changes to applicable tax or other laws or government
regulation. Expectations and projections about future events are inherently subject to, among other things, risks and uncertainties,
some of which may be unforeseeable. Accordingly, assumptions concerning future economic and other factors may prove to be
incorrect at a future date.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual events could differ materially from those
expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by the Fund. Any number of important factors could con tribute
to these digressions, including, but not limited to, general economic, political and relevant market factors in North America
and internationally, interest and foreign exchange rates, equity and capital markets, business competition, tech nological change,
changes in government relations, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings and catastrophic events.

before making any investment decisions and you are urged to avoid placing any undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
