Quarterly Commentary as at September 30, 2014
The Energy sector underwent considerable
volatility during the quarter as both crude oil and
natural gas prices declined over 10%. Oil prices
fell sharply, weighed down by abundant supplies
and further indications of slowing global economic
and oil–demand growth.
Extreme weather has impacted natural gas prices
this year. A cold winter early in the year drew
inventory levels to record lows and pushed prices
higher, however a relatively mild summer reduced
demand for cooling adding to storage.
Additionally, surging production from tight gas in
the U.S. built inventories faster than expected,
driving prices in the quarter from $4.40 to $4.00
per mcf.
The commodity price uncertainty was reflected
swiftly in the share prices of energy producers. As
the crude price fell, companies with the highest
costs of production or transportation tended to be
impacted the most. The Fund’s overweight
exposure to unconventional oil-growth companies,
EOG Resources, Diamondback and Continental
weighed on performance. Production from tight oil
formations in the Permian and Eagleford areas in
Texas, or the Bakken in North Dakota rely on solid
crude oil prices to drive the development
economics. Canadian oil sands producers Suncor,
Cenovus and Canadian Natural Resources were
also negative contributors.
Natural gas prices will largely be determined by
the impact of weather in the near term. With
inventories still below 5 year averages, a record
cold winter like last year will certainly drive prices
higher. However, with current forecasts calling for
normal winter weather, current inventories should
satisfy demand and expectations for
unconventional production to continue to outpace
demand, natural gas prices could be challenged
through the winter.

Quartile rankings are determined by
Morningstar Research Inc., an independent
research firm, based on categories
maintained by the Canadian Investment
Funds Standards Committee (CIFSC). Quartile
rankings are comparisons of the performance
of a fund to other funds in a particular
category and are subject to change monthly.
The quartiles divide the data into four equal
segments expressed in terms of rank (1, 2, 3
or 4). This is the Morningstar quartile ranking
of Series A units of the Fund as of September
30, 2014. Morningstar ratings are overall
ratings reflecting risk adjusted performance
as of September 30, 2014. The ratings are
subject to change every month. The ratings
are calculated for funds with a minimum of 3
years of performance, calculated from the
funds' 1 and 3 year average annual returns
measured against a 91-day Treasury Bill
return with appropriate fee adjustments. The
top 10% of the funds in a category receive 5
stars (high); if the funds fall in the next
22.5%,they receive 4 stars (above average); a
place in the middle 35% earns a fund 3 stars
(neutral or average); those in the next 22.5%
receive 2 stars (below average); and the
lowest 10% get 1 star (low). Ratings are just
one factor to consider when investing. For
