17. Investment leverage as a stand-alone program increases the risk of investing. The Hybrid program considers this increased risk and attempts to maintain the overall risk profile of the client’s investment portfolio. The overall risk of the investment portfolio is initially increased when integrating an investment leverage strategy; however, the overall risk of the portfolio is then reduced by integrating a lower risk RSP investment strategy. In order to evaluate the risk of The Hybrid program, it is important to consider the risk profile of the RSP and the risk profile of the investment leverage together and not independent of each other. The RSP Only and The Hybrid comparison is based on the same returns and same cash flow injection for each. The RSP Only portfolio showing is assumed to be invested as follows 15% (Original investment $1,500) TD Canadian Bond Fund, 15% (Original investment $1,500) Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund, 50% ($5,000 original investment) Mackenzie Saxon Stock Fund, 20% ($2,000 original investment) Franklin Templeton Global Small Companies Fund. The Hybrid portfolio showing is assumed to be invested as follows: RSP Portion – 40% ($4,000 original investment) TD Canadian Bond Fund, 40% ($4,000 original investment) Franklin Templeton Bond Fund, 20% ($2,000 original investment) Franklin Templeton Global Small Companies. Non RSP Portion – 100% ($5,000 original investment) Mackenzie Saxon Stock Fund. Leverage – Interest rate ($5,000 original borrowed) Prime + 0.75%. Monthly Cash flow injection into both the RSP Only and The Hybrid is based on 1/12th of the annual interest payable on the leverage within The Hybrid. In the case of the RSP only portfolio, the Monthly Cash Flow into the individual funds is divided as follows: 15% TD Canadian Bond Fund, 15% Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund, 50% Mackenzie Saxon Stock Fund, and 20% Franklin Templeton Global Small Companies. All 1 year returns are assumed at straight line returns for both the RSP only and The Hybrid portfolios. Borrowing rate for leverage is based on a Prime +0.75% with the average Prime rate for the 1 year period being used. Rebalancing of the portfolios back to their original weightings is assumed to be done on Dec 31st of each year, and original purchase of investments also done on January 1st of each year. Within The Hybrid, the profit from the Non RSP investment (if any) is reinvested after all applicable taxes (based on Capital Gains) and Grossed up (based on grossed up Marginal tax equivalent deposit to RSP ). A 35% Marginal Tax rate assumption throughout the 10 year period on deposits and withdrawals has been made. This is intended for illustration purposes only, actual results will differ.

22. NON RSP Stock Fund RSP Bond Fund Bond Fund + + Leverage - “The Accelerated”
23. Investment leverage as a stand alone program increases the risk of the investing. The Accelerated program considers this increased risk and attempts to increase the return of the client’s investment portfolio. The overall risk of the investment portfolio is initially increased when integrating an investment leverage strategy however the overall risk of the portfolio is then reduced by integrating a lower risk RSP investment strategy. The Accelerated program increases the risk/return by increasing the amount of investment leverage over and above The Hybrid program. In order to evaluate the risk of The Accelerated program, it is important to consider the risk profile of the RSP and the risk profile of the investment leverage together and not independent of each other. The Accelerated program is a higher risk investment strategy than The Hybrid program. The Risk of this program is increased by the amount of investment leverage and this amount should always be measured in relation to the client’s overall financial situation. The RSP Only and The Accelerated comparison is based on the same returns and same cash flow injection for each. The RSP Only portfolio showing is assumed to be invested as follows 15% (Original investment $1,500) TD Canadian Bond Fund, 15% (Original investment $1,500) Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund, 50% ($5,000 original investment) Mackenzie Saxon Stock Fund, 20% ($2,000 original investment) Franklin Templeton Global Small Companies Fund. The Hybrid portfolio showing is assumed to be invested as follows: RSP Portion – 40% ($4,000 original investment) TD Canadian Bond Fund, 40% ($4,000 original investment) Franklin Templeton Bond Fund, 20% ($2,000 original investment) Franklin Templeton Global Small Companies. Non RSP Portion – 100% ($10,000 original investment) Mackenzie Saxon Stock Fund. Leverage – Interest rate ($10,000 original borrowed) Prime + 0.75%. Monthly Cash flow injection into both the RSP Only and The Accelerated is based on 1/12th of the annual interest payable on the leverage within The Accelerated. In the case of the RSP only portfolio, the Monthly Cash Flow into the individual funds is divided as follows: 15% TD Canadian Bond Fund, 15% Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund, 50% Mackenzie Saxon Stock Fund, and 20% Franklin Templeton Global Small Companies.

A 45% Marginal Tax rate assumption throughout the 10 year period on deposits and withdrawals has been made. This is intended for illustration purposes only, actual results will differ. Refer to your authorized “The Efficient Plan” Financial professional for more details. Integration of The Accelerated increases the risk of investing due to investment leverage exceeding the portfolio.
