Synergy Global Corporate Class

Management Report of Fund Performance for the year ended March 31, 2016

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIES

The objective of the Synergy Global Corporate Class (the “Fund”) is long-term

capital growth by investing primarily in equity and equity-related securities of

global momentum companies situated in the developed markets represented

in the MSCI World Index – C$, which currently includes 23 of the world’s

developed markets.

Momentum managers invest in companies that are changing for the better and

whose underlying fundamentals are improving more rapidly than the overall

stock market. Momentum managers are usually willing to give up some of

the initial price movement in a stock in order to obtain confirmation that the

company’s underlying fundamentals are actually improving. They typically have

a much shorter investment horizon than other types of fund managers. They seek

to be rewarded by significant upward movements in stock prices that can occur

over shorter time periods. Since change is the catalyst, this style tends to generate

relatively high portfolio turnover.

A quantitative model assists in the search for global stocks that exhibit

characteristics such as upward changes in analysts’ earnings forecasts for a

company, positive earnings surprises, and strong relative stock price performance.

Once a list of potential investments exhibiting these criteria is identified, the major

fundamental aspects of each company are analyzed, including the quality of the

company’s earnings streams and how it’s positioned to benefit from the current

economic environment. The fund is broadly diversified on a regional, country

and industry basis in order to minimize risk and boost returns. The portfolio

advisors sell discipline is as strong as their buy discipline. They continually

monitor the portfolio to identify companies with deteriorating fundamentals so

they can be sold before their relative performance declines significantly.

The Fund may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes, but only as permitted

by securities regulations. In order to earn additional income, the Fund may

enter into securities lending transactions, repurchase transactions and reverse

repurchase transactions, to the extent permitted by securities regulations.

RISK

The risks associated with investing in this Fund remain as discussed in the

prospectus. The Fund is suitable for investors who want to add global momentum

to a diversified portfolio, are comfortable investing outside Canada, are investing

for the medium and/or long term and can tolerate medium risk.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The net asset value of the Fund decreased by $32.9 million to $194.4 million

from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016. The Fund had net redemptions of

$13.7 million during the year. The portfolio’s performance decreased assets by

$9.6 million. The Fund paid distributions totalling $9.6 million. The one-year

return for Class A shares was -5.1%, Class AT5 shares was -5.2%, Class AT8 shares

was -5.3%, Class F shares was -4.0%, Class I shares was -2.7%, Class IT8 shares

was -2.8%, Class O shares was -2.8% , Class Y shares was -4.0% and Class Z shares

was -5.1%, as compared to the return of its benchmark of -0.4%. The benchmark

is the MSCI World Total Return Index.

For much of the past 12 months, European stocks have been in favour as global

investors embraced the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing program

and the resulting weaker euro, which drove earnings growth. While most

investors focused on exporters, we concentrated our investments in domestic

companies that would benefit disproportionately from various monetary/fiscal

stimulus (one such theme was investing in property and property developers).

Emerging markets sold off on the stronger U.S. dollar, weaker commodity prices,

and a deteriorating macro backdrop in China. We limited our exposure in both

energy and materials to companies that had better balance sheets and higher free

cash flow generation. Our core holdings remain the secular growth stories in

consumer discretionary, technology, and health care.

Within the U.S., breadth in the markets has been dismal. There was significant

crowding in secular growth names (i.e. “FANG stocks”: Facebook, Amazon,

Netflix, Google) which seemed to mask the fact that the rest of the U.S. market

was effectively in a bear market. The only way to outperform was to concentrate

portfolios in those “FANG” stocks, but that required embracing a level of risk we

were not willing to accept. Over the last few months we have seen swift reversals

in the market conditions that have added to high levels of volatility in the S&P

500 Index so far in 2016.

During the 12-month period ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio underperformed

the MSCI World Total Return Index.

Our positioning in consumer staples and consumer discretionary provided the

largest positive contribution to relative performance during the period. Top

performing holdings were Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Alphabet Inc.

(Class A). Our positioning in financials and information technology detracted

from relative performance. The largest individual detractors were Anadarko

Petroleum Corp. and Microsoft Corp.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

While we prefer to err on the side of bullishness as we look out to the latter half of

2016, we also prefer to be buyers of dips along the way—and we do expect there

will be dips to buy. Looking over the long-term, we expect low global growth

and intertwined financial systems to form the new reality. Risk assets can work in

a slow growth environment; however, it will be more difficult for the “average”

company to succeed as there is no longer a rising tide to lift all boats. We expect

positive and negative inflections will occur more frequently and that sentiment

and flows will be more powerful forces in driving markets.

^Historical figures are based on Canadian GAAP, for more details refer to footnote 7. (1) This information is derived from the Fund’s audited annual financial statements.

(2) Net assets per share and dividends per share are based on the actual number of shares outstanding for the relevant class at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the relevant class over the fiscal year.

(3) Dividends are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.

(4) Management expense ratio is calculated based on expenses charged to the Fund (excluding commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets for the year. As of July 1, 2010, Ontario combined the federal goods and services tax (“GST” - 5%) with the provincial retail sales tax (“PST” - 8%). The combination resulted in a Harmonized sales tax (“HST”) rate of 13%. The Effective HST tax rate is calculated using the attribution percentage for each province based on shareholder residency and can be different from 13%.

(5) The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund’s portfolio advisor manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of the fiscal year. The higher a Fund’s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in the year, and the greater the chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a higher turnover rate and the performance of a Fund. Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of the cost of purchases and the proceeds of sales of portfolio securities for the year, and excluding cash and short-term investments maturing in less than one year, and before assets acquired from a merger, if applicable, by the average of the monthly fair value of investments during the year.

(6) The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs disclosed in the statements of comprehensive income expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets of the Fund during the year.

(7) For financial years beginning on or after April 1, 2013 the financial highlights are derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). IFRS allows net assets to be calculated based on the last traded market price for financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the day’s bid-ask spread. There are no differences between the net assets calculated for purpose of processing shareholders transactions and the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares used for financial statement reporting purposes. For financial years before April 1, 2013, the financial highlights are derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP net assets for financial statement purposes were calculated based on bid/ask price while for purpose of processing shareholder transactions net assets were calculated based on the closing market price.
