Annual Compound Returns⁽¹⁾

Year-by Year Returns

The following table shows the past performance of the Fund. Past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. The information shown is based on Net Asset Value per unit and assumes that distributions made by the Fund on its units in the period shown were reinvested at Net Asset Value per unit in additional units of the Fund.

The table shows the Fund’s compound return since inception compared with the STOXX Europe 600 Index and the S&P/TSX Composite Index (‘‘Composite Index’’). The Fund invests in large-capitalization European equity securities that are selected from the STOXX Europe 600 Index. The STOXX Europe 600 Index is a subset of the STOXX Global 1800 Index, representing large, mid and small capitalization companies across 17 European developed countries. The Composite Index tracks the performance, on a market weight basis, of a broad index of large-capitalization issuers listed on the TSX. Since the Fund is actively managed, the sector weightings may differ from those of the indices. The benchmark indices are calculated without the deduction of management fees and fund expenses, whereas the performance of the Fund is calculated after deducting such fees and expenses.
