Quarterly Commentary as at March 31, 2015
RBC Select Balanced Portfolio (Series A) returned
6.5% in Q1 vs. 6.6% for its benchmark.
The global economy continued to face
considerable uncertainty during the period, as
energy prices remained volatile, and the U.S.
Federal Reserve contemplated their first rate hike
in many years as central banks in Europe and
Japan eased monetary policy.
The Fund’s overweight position in equities and
underweight position in fixed income were
positive for performance. Global bond yields
remain low. Subdued inflation, modest global
growth and continued bond buying from the Bank
of Japan and European Central Bank are keeping
yields low throughout the developed world. RBC
Bond Fund had a significant positive impact on the
Fund’s relative performance. RBC Global Corporate
Bond Fund also contributed positively to returns.
Global stock markets have been volatile since the
beginning of the year and, while the U.S. market is
slightly above fair value, our aggregate measure of
global stocks remains below our measure of
equilibrium. The S&P 500 Index was virtually flat
in the first quarter while other global markets
trended higher. Among equity funds in the
portfolio, RBC European Equity Fund, RBC U.S.
Equity Fund and RBC QUBE U.S. Equity Fund
contributed positively to portfolio performance.
Our long term outlook is for growth to improve and
inflation to normalize. In this scenario, yields are
likely to move gradually higher. In a rising-yield
environment, bondholders could experience low or
even negative total returns as capital losses offset
coupon income. While we have lowered our totalreturn expectations for stocks, our outlook for
equities remains positive. We expect that equities
will continue to outperform bonds. As a result, we
have maintained our underweight in bonds and
overweight in stocks.

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 March 31,
2015. Morningstar ratings are overall ratings
reflecting risk adjusted performance as of
March 31, 2015. 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
