Management Discussion of Fund Performance

Investment Objectives and Strategies

The 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.

Risk

The 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.

The Portfolio Adviser anticipates that active management with

a focus on quality and liquidity could serve the Fund well in the

current environment.

for each series of Fund units, and an annual administration fee of

0.15 percent with respect to the Investor Series, Premium Series,

Advisor Series, H-Series, T-Series and D-Series units of the Fund.

Distributor:

For certain series of units of the Fund, TD Investment Services Inc.,

a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD, is the principal distributor for which

it is paid a trailer commission by TDAM. Units of the Fund are also

distributed through brokers and dealers including TD Waterhouse

Canada Inc. (“TDW”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD. TDW, like

other dealers, is paid a trailer commission by TDAM for distributing

certain series of units of the Fund. Trailer commissions are paid

by TDAM out of the management fees it receives from the Fund and

are based on the average value of assets held by each dealer.

between units of funds denominated in different currencies.

The Fund also maintains bank accounts and overdraft provisions

with TD for which TD earns a fee.

Buying and Selling Securities:

TDAM has established an independent review committee (“IRC”)

which acts as an impartial and independent committee to review

and provide recommendations or, if appropriate, approvals

respecting any conflict of interest matters referred to it by TDAM.

The IRC prepares, at least annually, a report of its activities for

securityholders of the Fund. The report is available on the TDAM

website at tdassetmanagement.com or at the securityholder’s

request at no cost by contacting TDAM (see front cover).

The Fund relied on standing instructions from the IRC in respect

of one or more of the following transactions:

(a) trades in securities of TD or any affiliate or associate thereof;

(b) investments in the securities of an issuer where TD Securities Inc.,

TDW, or any other affiliate of TDAM (a “Related Dealer”) acted

as an underwriter during the distri bution of such securities and

the 60-day period following the completion of the distribution

of the underwritten securities;

(c) purchases or sales of securities of an issuer from or to another

investment fund or discretionary managed account managed

by TDAM; and

(d) purchases of securities from or sales of securities to a Related

Dealer, where it acted as principal.

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:
