It starts with you

There are five Transamerica CI Portfolios to meet the full spectrum

of investor profiles. In working with your advisor, you determine

your risk tolerance and investment objectives and identify the

portfolio that is suitable for you.

Fully diversified

Transamerica CI Portfolios match their investor profiles by

investing in a blend of underlying equity and fixed-income funds.

The portfolios are fully diversified by asset class, geographic

region, economic sector, investment style and investment manager.

Backed by a high level of expertise

The portfolios are carefully constructed by CI Investment

Consulting using comprehensive research and recommendations

from State Street Global Advisors – a world leader in investment

research. Each portfolio is designed to provide the maximum

return possible for a given level of risk. CI Investment Consulting

monitors the portfolios and rebalances the holdings as necessary

to ensure they remain true to their mandates. The underlying

funds are actively managed by an award-winning lineup of leading

portfolio management teams.

Transamerica CI Portfolios are part of a robust investment program that

provides you with a well-diversified portfolio suited to your individual

objectives – all with the convenience of one fund to purchase and track.

1. Each portfolio is designed to maximize

performance for a given level of risk using

sophisticated optimization methods.

A balanced asset mix ensures that investors are not dependent on

any one asset class or security to provide returns. Transamerica CI

Portfolios are diversified and strategically engineered for efficiency

– that is, maximizing return for a given level of risk. Each portfolio

is constructed to suit client needs for capital preservation, income

generation and long-term growth.

The Portfolios invest in a select mix of underlying income,

Canadian equity, U.S. equity and international equity funds.

2. CI Investment Consulting’s portfolio

construction skills are combined

with the asset mix expertise of

State Street Global Advisors.

CI Investment Consulting, a division of CI Investments Inc.,

uses asset mix research and recommendations from State Street

Global Advisors to help craft Transamerica CI Portfolios. With

US$1.9 trillion* in assets under management, 29 offices worldwide

and more than 2,400 employees, State Street Global Advisors is

one of the largest investment management companies in the world

and operates in more than 100 global markets.

Working with research from State Street Global Advisors, CI

Investment Consulting reviews assumptions of the asset mixes,

including volatility and expected returns, and makes adjustments

as needed to ensure the portfolios continue to be efficient

and forward looking to capture maximum return for a given level

of risk.

*As at June 30, 2012

3. Leading portfolio managers

Transamerica CI Portfolios offer you the expertise of award-

winning investment managers with proven track records.

The CI Investment Consulting team selects funds and their

managers for the program based on their investment process,

proven ability to add value and “fit” into the overall portfolio

diversification strategy.

The portfolio managers, through underlying fund mandates, have

the discretion and opportunities to add value using day-to-day

tactical actions through stock selection and sector allocation.

Combined, these portfolio management teams have won

28 Canadian Investment Awards over the past 10 years, including

Morningstar Fund Manager of the Decade (2010) and Equity Fund

Manager of the Year (2009) for Eric Bushell, Chief Investment

Officer of Signature Global Advisors, and Fund Manager of the Year

in 2008 and 2001 for Harbour Advisors’ Chief Investment Officer

Gerry Coleman. In addition, these teams have earned 32 Lipper

Fund Awards, which honour funds that have excelled in delivering

consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to peers,

since the Lipper program began in Canada in 2007.
