  26. Performance And Benchmark Disclaimer • All return figures for the Lawrence Park Credit Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) are based on the A Series units and are net of management fees, performance fees, trailing commissions (if any) and Fund expenses. Other series may have higher fees and differing redemption terms. Monthly returns are based on monthly NAV calculations by RBC Investor Services. • Strategies • Momentum Trading –involves taking a long or short position in a security to take advantage of short-term price dislocations  • Outright Credit – involves taking a long or short position in a security based on longer-term value technicals or fundamentals • Carry and Roll Down – involves levered positions in short dated securities primarily to earn income • Relative Value – involves taking a long position in one company’s securities vs. taking a short position in another company’s securities, or a short position in an index • Credit Arbitrage – involves taking both long and short positions in securities of the same company • Asset Classes • CAD IG – Canadian $ Investment Grade Bonds (rated at least BBB- or equivalent by one major rating agency) • CAD HY – Canadian $ High Yield Bonds (rated no higher than BB+ or equivalent by any major rating agency) • USD IG - US$ Investment Grade Bonds (rated at least BBB- or equivalent by one major rating agency) • USD HY - US$ High Yield Bonds (rated no higher than BB+ or equivalent by any major rating agency) • EUR IG - Euro denominated Grade Bonds (rated at least BBB- or equivalent by one major rating agency) • EUR HY – Euro denominated High Yield Bonds (rated no higher than BB+ or equivalent by any major rating agency) • Hybrid and Pref - Capital instruments issued by banks and corporations, typically lower in the capital structure with some equity-like attribute • The DEX XCB is an index-based ETF that replicates the DEX Corporate Index, a benchmark index of Canadian Dollar corporate bonds published daily by PC Bond Analytics. The Fund has a high % of its assets in C$ corporate bonds, and thus the DEX Corporate is a relevant index for comparing risk and return in the Fund. The DEX Corporate Index has a high component of interest rate risk, whereas the Fund has a low component of interest rate risk. • The TSX is a widely-known equity index of Canadian large-cap companies. It is included for purposes of comparing fund returns and volatility against different asset classes. The Fund invests primarily in debt instruments, and the inclusion of the TSX is not intended to imply that equity indices are an appropriate benchmark for the Fund. • BGCI refers to the Barclays Global Corporate Index. Returns for this benchmark are calculated as excess daily returns, or the difference between total returns of the security and an implied Treasury portfolio matching the term-structure profile of that security. Returns are calculated in Canadian dollars, assuming currency exposures on non-Canadian holdings are fully hedged. In the opinion of the portfolio managers, this index represents a valid benchmark for the Credit Strategies Fund on the basis it is a) based on a global portfolio of publically traded corporate bonds, b) expressed in Canadian Dollars, and c) assumes currency and interest rate risk have been hedged from the portfolio. • Annualized volatility and Sharpe calculations are based on daily returns since inception, calculated by the Manager. The risk-free rate used for the Sharpe ratio calculation is 1.00%, approximately equal to the average Canadian 3 month T-bill rate over the past 12 months. All comparisons to the benchmark are since inception of the Fund, March 1, 2012, unless noted otherwise. • Ratings and Regional Breakdowns reflect the end of the month portfolio composition on a Total Exposure basis. Total Exposure is equal to the total directional long positions, plus total directional short positions, excluding hedges & cash. Investors should note that because the portfolio is turned over frequently, current composition may differ materially from the numbers stated herein. • The Fund’s returns are not guaranteed, its value changes frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. No representations or warranties of any kind are intended or should be inferred with respect to the economic return or the tax consequences from an investment in the Fund. Potential qualified investors should read the Fund’s offering memorandum carefully prior to investing. • Investors should note that the Fund utilizes long and short positions in both domestic and international fixed-income products, and may incorporate leverage and derivative overlays. Fund performance may deviate significantly from benchmark indices shown. CONFIDENTIAL
