Market volatility is a reality - and it has doubled on average:
From 1962 to 1996, the S&P 500 gained or lost more than 1% one in every six trading days on average. But since 1997, such moves have
risen to one in every three trading days. Increased market volatility can lead to poor investment decisions – more buying at market peaks
and panic selling at market lows.

An award-winning
investment process
designed to
cap volatility
At Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, we recognize
that capital preservation is the cornerstone of any
investment strategy.
That’s why we engineered GPS Optimized Portfolios to adjust
to an appropriate level of risk.
The aim is to help you achieve your investment objectives
with more certainty while endeavouring to cap risk, and
therefore reduce the potential for loss, at the level best
suited to you.

Modern Portfolio Theory
hasn’t evolved substantially
since it was introduced
in 1952.
Can you imagine another industry using
technology that is more than 60 years old?
As markets evolve, the tools we use to achieve
your goals have to evolve with them.

An innovative,
forward-looking
risk management
framework
GPS Optimized Portfolios use a forward-looking process that
recognizes that risk and correlation change:
• Traditional investment management frameworks use a
simple, backward-looking measure of risk which can
grossly underestimate a portfolio’s exposure to capital
loss when markets become stressed – they don’t account
for asset correlations and volatility changing over time.
• The innovative process behind GPS Optimized Portfolios
incorporates a dynamic, forward-looking correlation
matrix that appropriately accounts for the current level of
market risk, even in stressed environments.

How GPS
Optimized Portfolios work
16
To us there are no foreign markets.™To us there are no foreign markets.™
The evolution of risk
management – Avoiding
the worst losses is more
important than capturing
the largest gains
•  Meaningful outperformance is about avoiding the
worst periods of negative returns.
•  By committing to a risk target, we can meaningfully
de-risk relative to benchmark in times of market
stress – this approach is a key characterization of
GPS Optimized Portfolios.
17
MSCI World: avoiding the best and the worst returns
“Hugging a benchmark when
the risks are rapidly rising will
not ensure that a client’s
investments are in line with
their risk tolerance. GPS
Optimized Portfolios cannot and
will not hug a benchmark when
the risks are rising.”

“GPS Optimized Portfolios employ a
truly unique perspective on risk. By
engaging our forward-looking,
proprietary risk management
framework that appropriately
accounts for risk at the total
portfolio level, we help to provide
steadier investment performance
and peace of mind for our clients.”
Past performance may not be repeated. As this is an illustration of one of the available GPS UK portfolios, it may not
be suitable for all investors as there are different risk and objectives associated with each portfolio.

process uses an innovative,
forward-looking risk process,
which explicitly recognizes that

Our depth of experience in asset
allocation and security selection is an
integral input into our innovative risk
framework.
Security selection
The securities that populate our risk-focused models are
drawn from the Master Lists supplied by our Security
Selection Committee, who diligently scrutinize companies
for best-in-class fundamentals, liquidity, structure,
performance and management competency.

•  Equity Master List
•  ETF Master List

To gauge the level of
stress in the market,
Canaccord Genuity
Wealth Management
has developed a
proprietary Market
Stress Indicator (MSI).
Other indicators of market stress exist, but this
proprietary tool is the only indicator that accounts for
both determinants of portfolio risk: volatility and
correlation.
Our proprietary MSI identifies five market states,
enabling us to prepare for upcoming risks and reduce
the potential for capital loss by:
• Analyzing asset classes by volatility
and correlation
• Anticipating periods of significant market stress
• Adjusting to an appropriate level of risk with
the aim of protecting your capital
To us there are no foreign markets.™To us there are no foreign markets.™ 22
This framework systematically heeds client risk
tolerances, appropriately accounts for portfolio risk,
even during periods of market stress, and
significantly reduces drawdown.
Over the long term, this can dramatically improve
upon benchmark return, helping us to grow your
wealth, with a focus on capital preservation.
Our risk optimizer is
a mathematical
framework that uses
inputs from the MSI
to better guard
against risk, rather
than to chase down
extra return.
