Benefits of the CI M.A.X. Structure
Scenario 1: In market conditions where the Fund performs well, additional exposure to the Fund may be achieved through leverage generating enhanced returns. In market conditions where the Fund performs negatively, reduced exposure to the Fund may dampen losses in an effort to allow participation in any subsequent recovery.
Scenario 2: In a rising interest rate environment, continued exposure to the Fund increases growth potential to keep pace with higher interest rates. In a declining interest rate environment, reinvestment of all or a portion of any distributions will help preserve exposure to the Fund.
Scenario 3: Comparatively low fees and interest charges help prolong exposure to the Fund by making the structure less prone to de-leveraging and allocating to Bonds.
Scenario 4: 100% capital protection at maturity regardless of the performance of the Fund.
Dynamic allocation strategy aims to provide benefits in different market circumstances…

How Does CI M.A.X. Asset Allocation Work? Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) Structure
• On the Issue Date, $125 per Deposit Note will be used to notionally purchase Units of the Fund.
• The Deposit Notes will dynamically allocate between Units of the Fund in the Fund Account and Bonds in a Bond Account. The Portfolio will be rebalanced from time to time in accordance with pre-defined Portfolio Allocation Rules.
• The leveraging or de-leveraging of the Fund Account will occur based on the “Distance” between the NAV of the Deposit Notes and the Floor Price (i.e., generally, the value of notional bonds maturing on the Maturity Date).
• The dynamic allocation strategy provides 125% initial exposure (with potential for 200% exposure) to the Fund while still providing 100% principal protection at maturity.
• A reallocation will occur after a significant change in Distance has taken place.

When “Target Exposure” differs from“Actual Exposure” by more than 25%,
an Allocation Event will occur to bring Actual Exposure in line with
