FUND SUMMARY

The Canadian Financial Monthly Income ETF's (TSX:FIE), investment objectives are to maximize total return to its Unitholders, consisting of distributions and capital appreciation, and to provide its Unitholders with a stable stream of monthly cash distribution of $0.04 per Unit. FIE’s net assets, together with borrowings under its loan facility, are invested in a diversified and actively managed investment portfolio consisting primarily of common shares, preferred shares, corporate bonds and income trust units of issuers in the Canadian financial sector (the "FIE Portfolio").

The Manager believes that the Canadian financial sector provides attractive dividend and income yields, strong and stable credits and a history of capital appreciation and dividend growth. Up to 25% of the assets of the FIE Portfolio may be invested in securities of other Canadian issuers. The composition of the FIE Portfolio will vary over time depending on MFC Global’s assessment of overall market conditions and outlook.

INDEX CHARACTERISTICS
as of 12/31/11
Number of Securities 21

P/E Ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its after-tax earnings over the most recent 12-month period.

P/B Ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its book value.

Alpha is a statistical measurement that depicts the performance difference between a fund's return and an underlying performance benchmark, given a fund’s level of volatility, measured by beta. The benchmark will always reflect an alpha of 0.00%. A positive alpha indicates a fund has performed better than its beta would predict in the stated period. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year period.

Beta is the measure of a fund's sensitivity to the Index. By definition, the beta of the Index is 1.00. Any fund with a higher beta is more volatile than the Index. Likewise, any portfolio with a lower beta will be less volatile than the index in the stated period. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year period.

Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that depicts how widely returns vary over a given period of time. The measurement is generally used to understand the range of returns that are most likely for a given portfolio. Generally, a higher standard deviation indicates a more risky portfolio. This is computed by using the trailing monthly total returns for the appropriate time period. Monthly standard deviations are then annualized. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year time period.

Average Market Capitalization is the geometric mean of the market capitalizations for all the securities in a fund’s portfolio.
