About the CI Funds Board of Governors
Semi-Annual Financial Statements as at September 30, 2010
The CI Funds Board of Governors was voluntarily established by CI in 1998 making it one of the first
such fund governance bodies in Canada.
The Board of Governors acts as an independent governance body the Funds, providing impartial
judgment on conflicts of interest with a view to the best interests of the Funds and investors.
The Board of Governors recommends the best course of action to achieve a fair and reasonable result
on any conflict of interest issues, and CI takes into account its recommendation in accordance with
its fiduciary duty to the Funds. All of the members of the Board are independent of CI.
The Board of Governors mandate is set out in a separate charter and reviewed annually by
the Board to ensure its mandate conforms to the expectations and requirements of Canadian
securities regulators. Along with dealing with conflicts of interest, the mandate provides that the
Board acts as an audit committee for the Funds for the purpose of reviewing the financial statements
of the Funds with the auditors of the Funds and reviews holdings, purchases and sales by the Funds
of securities of The Bank of Nova Scotia and CI Financial Corp.
The Board also reviews and discusses on a regular basis matters including compliance of the Funds
with CI’s relevant policies and procedures, approval of the Funds’ auditors and the fees paid to those
auditors, and the performance of the Board and its members.
The Board of Governors adheres to the requirements set out by Canadian securities regulators in
National Instrument 81-107 Independent Review Committee for Investment Funds which requires all
mutual funds in Canada to have independent review committees.
The Board of Governors are compensated as recommended by the Canadian securities regulators
in their rule and as set out in its mandate. These expenses are paid by CI and charged to the Funds
as part of their administration fee.
The members of the Board of Governors are:
William Harding, Managing Partner, Alpine Asset Advisors AG
Governor since June 2005
Stuart P. Hensman, Corporate Director
Governor since December 2004
Christopher M. Hopper, President, KLQ Mechanical Ltd.
Governor since May 2007
Sharon M. Ranson, President, The Ranson Group
Governor since December 2004
Further information regarding the Board is available at www.ci.com including the Board’s full
mandate.
The Funds Board of Governors is pleased to report on its activities in respect of the semi-annual
period ended September 30, 2010 and to date. The Governors are appointed pursuant to the
Declarations of Trust governing the Funds.
The Governors have reviewed, commented on and approved the CI Code of Ethics and Conduct, which
establishes rules of conduct designed to ensure fair treatment of the Funds’ securityholders and that,
at all times, the interests of the Funds and their securityholders are placed above personal interests
of employees, officers and directors of the Manager and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates, the
subadvisers, and the Governors, through the application of the highest standards of integrity and
ethical business conduct. The CI Code of Ethics and Conduct requires the prior clearance of personal
trades and restricts the ability of staff to trade any securities held by the Funds. The objective is not
only to remove any potential for real conflict of interest but to avoid any perception of conflict. The
Manager's year 2009 report on compliance with the CI Code of Ethics and Conduct and other relevant
policies has been provided to the Governors in a timely and satisfactory manner.
The Governors report that management has been open and cooperative, permitting the Governors to
meet with subadvisers, to meet with individual department heads and personnel to review control
mechanisms and compliance procedures, including those relating to the personal securities trading
activity of employees, and to consider other matters that affect the Funds. During 2009, the Governors
also acted as the audit committee of the Funds. The audit committee reviewed, with the Funds’
auditors, the planning, scope and results of the audit of the financial statements of the Funds for the
year 2009. In November 2010, the Board of Governors received and accepted the Semi-Annual
Financial Statements of the Funds.
