Investment Strategy
Driven by a dynamic allocation process, CC ETF Portfolios
focus investment exposure in areas of market strength and
reduce capital in areas of relative weakness. The portfolio
management team aims to generate excess return and
control risk by under- and overweighting asset classes,
countries and currencies in the portfolio, selecting best-
in-class ETFs for each investment exposure. Built around
a long-term policy allocation, CC ETF Portfolios provide
diversification across both asset classes and geographies.
What is Active Management?
While passively  managed portfolios aim to mirror
an index, active managers use experience, skill and
fundamental research to identify opportunities to
outperform the markets.
Through a tactical asset allocation strategy, the portfolio
management team behind the CC ETF Portfolios is able
to position a portfolio away from its benchmark, primarily
in an effort to avoid major losses. This ability to adjust
portfolios in a timely manner can give investors an
advantage in increasingly complex and volatile financial
markets, aiming to reduce drawdowns and increase
returns over time.
The tactical nature of portfolio allocations throughout
market cycles is key to this strategy. At times, the CC ETF
Portfolios can be positioned close to benchmark, benefiting
from being fully invested in a multi-asset and globally
diversified basket of securities. However, during volatile and
risky periods in the market, the portfolios can be positioned
away from their benchmark to protect capital in a more
stable and defensive way than the benchmark allocation.

Illustrating the extent to which CC ETF Portfolios can position
away from the benchmark in times of market stress, the charts
above compare the benchmark asset allocation to that of the
CC ETF Growth Portfolio on October 1, 2014, in the midst of
resource sector declines. The CC ETF Growth Portfolio delivered
a compound annual return of 6.1% since its inception in
September 2014, compared to a benchmark return of 3.3%,
resulting in 2.8% of compound annual relative outperformance.
Investment Process
The portfolio management team behind the CC ETF
Portfolios follows a continuous process to ensure a
disciplined approach.
Step 1
Market & Portfolio Monitoring
Globally interconnected and accelerated through significant
technological advances, today’s real-time capital markets
demand real-time portfolio monitoring. The CC ETF portfolio
management team actively monitors their portfolios and
the markets each day to ensure timely repositioning based
on market developments.
Step 2
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis provides an unemotional lens that
gives the team insight into market and price movements,
prompting portfolio rebalancing during challenging market
environments. This critical step brings discipline to the
team’s selling strategy to better protect client capital.

Step 3
Fundamental Research
Fundamental sector and company research from the
CGWM Asset Management research team is complemented
by external research resources, enhancing the team’s
understanding of key global market drivers. Combining
top-down economic and technical analysis with bottom-up
fundamental research gives the investment team a fuller
picture of the investment landscape.
Step 4
Asset Allocation
Drawing on fundamental research and technical analysis,
the team draws together all available information into
one cohesive perspective on global markets. Examining
individual factors like asset class, sector, geography,
currency, credit risk and duration, the team determines the
appropriate asset allocation for each portfolio within the
context of the prevailing market environment.
Step 5
ETF Selection
With asset allocations set, the investment team sources
best-in-class ETFs to reflect the desired investment
exposures. Focusing on key criteria like cost, liquidity, and
structure, the team screens a database of over 5,000 ETFs
to ensure rigorous standards are maintained across the
portfolios.
Step 6
Portfolio Construction
Portfolios are carefully modelled according to desired
allocations, positioning relative to benchmark and core
investment goals. Each portfolio is examined for both direct
and embedded risks, and, following successful risk checks,
portfolio trades are executed to rebalance each individual
client portfolio.

Your Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management Investment
Advisor can help you to determine which of the six CC ETF
Portfolios is right for you.
CC ETF Conservative Portfolio is the most cautious portfolio.
Focusing on capital preservation, it is designed to achieve its
total returns from investing in a 60% fixed income and 40%
equity portfolio.
CC ETF Balanced Portfolio is designed to achieve a balance
between capital preservation and long-term growth and
income by investing in a 50% fixed income and 50% equity
portfolio.
CC ETF Enhanced Income Portfolio focuses on higher
yielding areas of the market to provide a consistently higher
internal yield than the other portfolios. By targeting 60%
equity and 40% fixed income, the portfolio aims to reduce
volatility while focusing on total return.
CC ETF Monthly Income Portfolio is constructed similarly to
the Enhanced Income Portfolio, but pays a cash distribution
each month.
CC ETF Growth Portfolio is designed to achieve long-term
capital growth from predominantly equity-based investments
by investing in a 65% equity and 35% fixed income portfolio.
CC ETF Capital Appreciation Portfolio is designed to achieve
our most aggressive rate of return over the long term by
investing in a 80% equity and 20% fixed income portfolio.
