As at September 30, 2017, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (March 31, 2017 - 10%) in relation to all other foreign currencies held in the Fund, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have indirectly decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $18,095,000 (March 31, 2017 - $3,162,000). In practice, actual results may differ from this analysis and the difference may be material.

As at September 30, 2017, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (March 31, 2017 - 10%) in relation to all other foreign currencies held in the Fund, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have indirectly decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $12,583,000 (March 31, 2017 - $3,492,000). In practice, actual results may differ from this analysis and the difference may be material.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
During the six-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Fund’s currency risk exposure changed significantly as disclosed in the section below. For details relating to credit risk, other price risk, interest rate risk and fair value hierarchy, refer to the audited annual financial statements as at March 31, 2017, as the Fund’s exposure to those risks remains unchanged.

~Includes monetary and non-monetary instruments.
As at September 30, 2017, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (March 31, 2017 - 10%) in relation to all other foreign currencies held in the Fund, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have indirectly decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $1,853,000 (March 31, 2017 - a nominal amount). In practice, actual results may differ from this analysis and the difference may be material.
As at March 31, 2017, the Fund’s exposure to currency risk was insignificant.

As at September 30, 2017, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (March 31, 2017 - 10%) in relation to all other foreign currencies held in the Fund, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have indirectly decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $4,105,000 (March 31, 2017 - $1,000,000). In practice, actual results may differ from this analysis and the difference may be material.

As at September 30, 2017, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (March 31, 2017 - 10%) in relation to all other foreign currencies held in the Fund, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have indirectly decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $836,000 (March 31, 2017 - $8,366,000). In practice, actual results may differ from this analysis and the difference may be material.

As at September 30, 2017, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (March 31, 2017 - 10%) in relation to all other foreign currencies held in the Fund, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of the Fund would have indirectly decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $2,557,000 (March 31, 2017 - $863,000). In practice, actual results may differ from this analysis and the difference may be material.

The objective of each Fund is to pool and manage money contributed by investors (“Unitholders”)
with similar investment goals. The Funds may invest in equities, fixed income securities, derivatives,
underlying funds or some combination thereof according to their specific investment objectives and
strategies. Investments may be held for income or capital appreciation or both. Unitholders share a
Fund’s income, expenses and any gains or losses the Fund makes on its investments generally in
proportion to the value of the securities they own.
Effective as of close of business on December 2, 2016, the following Funds merged:
Terminating Funds Continuing Funds
CI U.S. Equity Plus Fund Cambridge American Equity Fund
Signature Diversified Yield Fund Signature Diversified Yield II Fund
Signature Select Global Fund Signature Global Equity Fund
The Manager adopted the acquisition method of accounting for the merger of the Funds. Under this
method one of the Funds is identified as the acquiring Fund and is referred to as the “Continuing Fund”,
and the other Fund involved in the merger is referred to as the “Terminating Fund”. This identification
is based on a comparison of the relative net asset value of the Funds as well as consideration of the
continuation of such aspects of the Continuing Fund as: investment objectives and practices and type
of portfolio securities.
Effective as of the close of business on December 2, 2016, the Continuing Fund acquired all of the
assets of the Terminating Fund in exchange for units in the Continuing Fund. The value of the units of
the Continuing Fund issued in connection with this merger, were equal to the net assets transferred
from the Terminating Fund. The cost associated with the merger was borne by the Manager.

The Terminating Funds’ results are not included in these financial statements.
Prior to January 16, 2017, the Cambridge Monthly Income Fund (formerly Cambridge Income Fund) had
a forward purchase agreement (“Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal. Under the
Forward Purchase Agreement, the Fund agreed to buy securities from the Bank of Montreal in return
for a purchase price of the Cambridge Income Trust (“Underlying Trust”). The Fund’s restricted cash
subject to forward agreement was deposited with Bank of Montreal and pledged to the counterparty
as security for performance of the Fund of its obligation under the forward agreement. On January 16,
2017, the Cambridge Monthly Income Fund settled the forward purchase agreement.
Prior to January 12, 2017, the Signature High Yield Bond Fund had a forward purchase agreement
(“Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal. Under the Forward Purchase Agreement, the
Fund agreed to buy securities from the Bank of Montreal in return for a purchase price of the Signature
High Yield Bond II Fund (“Underlying Fund”). The Fund’s restricted cash subject to forward agreement
was deposited with Bank of Montreal and pledged to the counterparty as security for performance of
the Fund of its obligation under the forward agreement. On January 12, 2017, the Signature High Yield
Bond Fund settled the forward purchase agreement.
The Statements of Financial Position are as at September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017. The
Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders
of Redeemable Units and Statements of Cash Flows are for the periods ended September 30, 2017
and 2016, except for Funds established during current period, in which case the information provided
relates to the period from inception to September 30, 2017, as applicable.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The
following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
a. Classification and recognition of financial instruments
The Funds recognize financial instruments at fair value upon initial recognition, inclusive of transaction
costs in the case of financial instruments not measured at fair value. Purchases and sales of
financial assets are recognized at their trade date. The Funds’ investments and derivative assets and
liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Funds’ obligations for net
assets attributable to holders of redeemable units are presented at the redemption amount, which
approximates their fair value. All other financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost,
which approximates their fair value. Under this method, financial assets and liabilities reflect the
amount required to be received or paid, discounted, when appropriate, at the effective rate of interest.
*These Classes are no longer available for new purchases.

CI Mutual Funds
Semi-Annual Financial Statements - September 30, 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts are presented in the Statements of
Financial Position when, and only when, the Funds have a legal right to offset the amounts and
intend either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into various master netting agreements or similar
agreements that do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the Statements of Financial Position, but still
allow for the related amounts to be offset in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or termination
of the contracts.
b. Fair valuation of financial investments
At the financial reporting date, listed securities are valued based on the last traded market price
for financial assets and financial liabilities where the last traded price falls within the day’s bid-ask
spread. In circumstances where the last traded price is not within the bid-ask spread, the Manager
determines the point within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value based on the
existing market conditions. Unlisted securities are valued based on price quotations from recognized
investment dealers, or failing that, their fair value is determined by the Manager on the basis of the
latest reported information available. Unlisted warrants, if any, are valued based on a pricing model
which considers factors such as the market value of the underlying security, strike price and terms
of the warrant. Fixed income securities, debentures and other debt instruments including short-term
investments, are valued at the quotation from recognized investment dealers. Underlying funds are
valued on each business day at their net asset value as reported by the underlying funds’ managers.
The fair value of securities where no market price exists is determined by using valuation models that
may be based, in part, on assumptions that are not supported by observable market inputs. These
methods and procedures may include, but are not limited to, performing comparisons with prices of
comparable or similar securities, obtaining valuation related information from issuers and/or other
analytical data relating to the investment and using other available indications of value. These values
are independently assessed by the Manager to ensure that they are reasonable. However, because of
the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair values for these securities may be materially
different from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed.
The fair values of securities where no market price exists are affected by the perceived credit risks of
the issuer, predictability of cash flows and the length of time to maturity.
c. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value
The Funds classify their investments in equity, fixed income securities and derivatives as financial
assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL.
This category has two sub-categories: financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading (“HFT”);
and those designated at FVTPL at inception.
Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading
A financial asset or financial liability is classified as HFT if it is acquired or incurred principally
for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term or if on initial recognition it is part of a
portfolio of identifiable financial investments that are managed together and for which there is an
evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking. The Funds’ derivative instruments,
warrants and securities sold short are categorized as HFT.
Financial assets or financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at
inception
Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL at inception are financial instruments
that are not classified as HFT, but are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value
basis in accordance with the Funds’ documented investment strategy. The Funds’ investments
excluding derivative instruments, warrants and securities sold short are designated as FVTPL.
d. Cash
Cash is comprised of cash on deposit.
e. Cost of investments
Cost of investments represents the amount paid for each security and is determined on an average
cost basis excluding commissions and transactions costs. Average cost does not include amortization
of premiums or discounts on fixed income securities with the exception of zero coupon bonds.
f. Investment transactions and income recognition
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date – the date on which a Fund commits to
purchase or sell the investment. The interest for distribution purposes disclosed in the Statements of
Comprehensive Income, represents the coupon interest received by the Funds and is accounted for on
an accrual basis. The Funds do not amortize premiums paid or discounts received on the purchase of
fixed income securities, except for zero coupon bonds which are amortized on a straight line basis.
Dividends and distributions from investments are recognized on the ex-dividend/ex-distribution date.
Distributions received from income trusts and underlying funds holdings are recorded as income,
capital gains or a return of capital based on the best information available to the Manager. Due to the
nature of these investments, actual allocations could vary from this information. Distributions from
income trusts and underlying funds that are treated as a return of capital for income tax purposes
reduce the average cost of the income trusts and underlying funds.
Commitment fee income is accounted for on an accrual basis based on the term of the commitment.
g. Functional and presentation currency
The Funds’ functional and presentation currency is Canadian dollar, except for CI US Money Market
Fund, CI U.S. Income US$ Pool and Cambridge U.S. Dividend US$ Fund as those Funds’ functional and
presentation currency is U.S. dollar.
h. Foreign exchange
Foreign currency amounts are translated into the functional currency as follows: fair value of
investments, foreign currency forward contracts and other assets and liabilities at the closing rate
of exchange on each business day; income and expenses, purchases and sales and settlements of
investments at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Foreign
exchange gains (losses) relating to cash are presented as “Foreign exchange gain (loss) on cash” and
those relating to other financial assets and liabilities are presented within “Net realized gain (loss) on
sale of investments and derivatives” and “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of
investments and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
i. Unit valuation
Net asset value (“NAV”) per unit of each class is calculated at the end of each day on which the
Toronto Stock Exchange is open for business by dividing the total NAV of each class of a Fund by the
number of units of that class outstanding.
The NAV of each class is computed by calculating the value of that class’ proportionate share of the
Fund’s assets less that class’ proportionate share of the Fund’s common liabilities and less class
specific liabilities. Expenses directly attributable to a class are charged to that class. Other income
and expenses and gains and losses, are allocated to each class proportionately based upon the relative
total NAV of each class.

CI Mutual Funds
Semi-Annual Financial Statements - September 30, 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
As at September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, there were no differences
between the NAV used for transactions with unitholders and the net assets attributable to holders of
redeemable units used for reporting purposes under IFRS.
j. Classification of units
The units of each of the Funds, except for Select Canadian Equity Managed Fund, Select International
Equity Managed Fund, Select U.S. Equity Managed Fund, Cambridge Bond Fund, Cambridge Stock
Selection Fund and Signature Cash Management Fund, do not meet the “identical features” criteria
under IAS 32.16A(c) to be classified as equity and therefore, have been classified as liabilities. The
units of Select Canadian Equity Managed Fund, Select International Equity Managed Fund, Select
U.S. Equity Managed Fund, Cambridge Bond Fund, Cambridge Stock Selection Fund and Signature
Cash Management Fund have been classified as liabilities, because each of those Funds has a fixed
termination date.
k. Commissions and other portfolio transaction costs
Transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions, incurred in the purchase and sale of securities, are
included in “Commissions and other portfolio transaction costs” in the Statements of Comprehensive
Income.
l. Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units per unit
Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units per unit in the Statements
of Comprehensive Income is calculated by dividing the increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to
holders of redeemable units of each class of a Fund by the weighted average number of units of that
class outstanding during the period.
m. Foreign currency forward contracts
A Fund may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency forward
contracts are valued on each valuation day based on the difference between the contract rate and the
current forward rate at the measurement date applied to the contract’s notional amount and adjusted
for counterparty risk.
All unrealized gains (losses) arising from foreign currency forward contracts are recorded as part of
“Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives” in the
Statements of Comprehensive Income and “Unrealized gain (loss) on futures and foreign currency
forward contracts” in the Statements of Financial Position until the contracts are closed out or expire,
at which time the gains (losses) are realized and reported as “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of
investments and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
n. Forward purchase agreement
A Fund may enter into forward purchase agreement (“Forward Purchase Agreement”) with
counterparty (“Counterparty”). Pursuant to Forward Purchase Agreement, a Fund agrees to purchase
from the Counterparty on a future date (“Forward Date”) a specified portfolio of Canadian securities.
The amount paid by the Counterparty on the Forward Date is determined by reference to the returns
of the reference trust/fund. During the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Fund pledges
its assets to the Counterparty. The Fund’s assets are comprised solely of its cash and its Forward
Purchase Agreement. The Fund’s cash is deposited with and pledged to the Counterparty as security
for performance by the Fund of its obligations under the forward transaction.
The value of forward contracts on the valuation date is equal to the gain or loss that would be
realized if the contracts were closed out or expired. Investments sold forward as part of such Forward
Agreements, are valued at the market close price, and the Underlying Trust/Fund are valued at
their net asset value as reported by the Underlying Trust/Fund managers on the valuation date for
purposes of determining the value of the forward contracts. All gains (losses) arising from the forward
agreements are recorded as part of “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of
investments and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income and “Unrealized gain (loss)
on purchase forward agreement” in the Statements of Financial Position until the contracts are closed
out or expire; at which time the gains (losses) are realized and reported as “Net realized gain (loss) on
sale of investments and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
o. Futures contracts
Futures contracts are valued on each valuation day using the closing price posted on the relevant
public exchange. Cash and cash equivalents are held as margin against futures contracts which are
reflected in the “Daily variation margin on derivative instruments” in the Statements of Financial
Position. All unrealized gains (losses) arising from futures contracts are recorded as part of “Change
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives” in the Statements of
Comprehensive Income and “Unrealized gain (loss) on futures and foreign currency forward contracts”
in the Statements of Financial Position until the contracts are closed out or expire, at which time
the gains (losses) are realized and reported as “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of investments and
derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
p. Options contracts
Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are valued using the Black Scholes model, whereas, exchange
traded options are valued at last traded price taken from the exchange. Options contracts are valued
each valuation day according to the gain or loss that would be realized if the contracts were closed
out. All unrealized gains (losses) arising from option contracts are recorded as part of “Change in
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives” in the Statements of
Comprehensive Income until the contracts are closed out or expire, at which time the gains (losses)
are realized and reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Income in “Net realized gain (loss) on
sale of investments and derivatives”.
q. Interest rate swaps
The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using indicative closing market values obtained
from third-party broker-dealers. The broker-dealers determine the fair value using valuation models
that are based on assumptions that are supported by observable market inputs, including the interest
rates for that day. The indicative closing market values are independently assessed internally to
ensure that they are reasonable.
Any income (expense) received (incurred) for interest rate swaps contracts is recorded as “Derivative
income (loss)” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. The unrealized gain or loss on interest
rate swaps is reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Income as part of “Change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives”. When the interest rate swaps
contracts are closed out, any gains (losses) are recorded as “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of
investments and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
r. Credit default swaps
Credit default swaps are agreements that help to mitigate credit risk exposure to certain issuing
entities (“Referenced Entity”) or to increase credit risk exposure to the Referenced Entity by creating a
notional investment position. When a notional investment position is created, the credit risk exposure
is comparable to the exposure that would have resulted had a Fund invested directly in the Referenced
Entity. Under a credit default swap agreement, the protection buyer, whose intention is to reduce its
credit risk exposure to the Referenced Entity, pays a premium to the protection seller, who assumes
the credit risk of a default of the bond of a Referenced Entity. This premium is paid at regular intervals
over the term of the credit default swap agreement. In return for the premium paid, the protection buyer
is entitled to receive from the protection seller full payment for a loss arising from a credit default
– 121 –
CI Mutual Funds
Semi-Annual Financial Statements - September 30, 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
event of the Referenced Entity. A credit default event may be triggered by bankruptcy, failure to pay or
restructuring of the Referenced Entity. If a credit default event occurs, the credit default swap may be
settled by either the physical delivery of the bond for proceeds equal to par value or a cash payment equal
to the loss amount. Credit default swaps are valued based on dealer-supplied valuations.
Changes in value of credit default swap agreements are recorded as part of “Change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive
Income. Premiums paid or received from credit default swap agreements are included in “Derivative
income (loss)” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. When credit default swap agreements expire
or are closed out, gains or losses are included in “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of investments and
derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
s. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities
Certain Funds invest in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. These securities may
include: mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-
backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other securities that
directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans
on real property. The debt and equity securities issued by these securities may include tranches with
varying levels of subordination. These securities may provide a monthly payment which consists of
both interest and principal payments.
Mortgage-related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans,
including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks
and others. Asset-backed securities are created from many types of assets, including auto loans, credit
card receivables, home equity loans and student loans.
Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities
within each deal. The securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-
dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for
these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash-flows,
and market-based yield spreads for each tranche and incorporate deal collateral performance, as
available. The carrying values of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are included in
“Investments” in the Statements of Financial Position. The change in fair values of mortgage-related
and other asset-backed securities are included in the Statements of Comprehensive Income in
“Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives”.
t. Bullion
Gold and platinum bullion are carried at FVTPL based on North America closing spot price of the
underlying commodity. All unrealized gains (losses) arising from bullion holdings are recorded as part
of “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives” in the
Statements of Comprehensive Income until the bullion holdings are sold, at which time the gains
(losses) are realized and reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Income in “Net realized gain
(loss) on sale of investments and derivatives”.
u. Short selling
When a Fund sells a security short, it will borrow that security from a broker to complete the sale. As
the Fund borrows a security from the broker, the Fund is required to maintain a margin account with
the broker containing cash or liquid securities. The cash held on margin in respect of short sale activity
is included in the “Margin for short sales” in the Statements of Financial Position. The maximum loss
on securities sold short can be unlimited. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the
price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the
Fund closes out its short position by buying that security. The Fund will realize a gain if the security
declines in price between those dates. The gain or loss that would be realized if the position was
to be closed out on the valuation date is reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive Income as
part of “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments and derivatives”
and in the Statements of Financial Position in “Investments sold short”. When the short position is
closed out, gains and losses are realized and included in “Net realized gain (loss) on sale investments
and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Fees paid to a broker for borrowing a
security are included in “Securities borrowing fees” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
v. Offsetting of financial instruments
The disclosures set out in the Offsetting of Financial Instruments tables in the Fund Specific Notes
to Financial Statements of each Fund, where applicable, include foreign currency forward contracts
assets and liabilities that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. Transactions
with individual Counterparties are governed by separate master netting agreements. Each agreement
allows for net settlement of certain open contracts where the Funds and respective counterparty both
elect to settle on a net basis. In the absence of such an election, contracts will be settled on a gross
basis. However, each party to the master netting agreement will have the option to settle all open
contracts on a net basis in the event of default of the other party.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”)
govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by the Funds and select counterparties. The
ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements,
collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may
entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions
under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the
financial statements. The fair value of OTC financial derivative transactions net of collateral received
in or pledged by counterparty is disclosed in the Fund Specific Notes to Financial Statements.
Funds may be subject to various master agreements or netting arrangements with select counterparties.
These master agreements reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by
specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty.
Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of
different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be
covered by a different master agreement resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single
counterparty. As the master agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they
allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default
with respect to the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty.
w. Investments in associates, joint ventures, subsidiaries and structured entities
Subsidiaries are entities, including investments in other investment entities, over which a Fund has
control. A Fund controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Associates and joint ventures are investments over which a Fund has significant influence or joint control.
A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant
factors in deciding, who controls the entity, or when voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and
the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements.
The Manager has determined that underlying funds or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) held typically
by the Funds meet the definition of structured entities. Mortgage-backed securities or asset-backed
securities are also considered to be unconsolidated structured entities. The Funds account for their
investments in non-consolidated structured entities at FVTPL.

CI Mutual Funds
Semi-Annual Financial Statements - September 30, 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
The Funds that invest in underlying funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective
underlying fund’s offering documents and are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties
about future values of those underlying funds. All of the underlying funds in the investment portfolio
are managed by portfolio managers who are compensated by the respective underlying fund for their
services. Such compensation generally consists of an asset-based fee and is reflected in the valuation
of each of the underlying funds, except when the Funds invest in certain classes of the underlying
funds where the compensation to portfolio managers is negotiated and paid outside of respective
underlying fund. The underlying funds finance their operations by issuing redeemable units that entitle
the holders to an equal beneficial interest in a respective underlying fund. The Funds can redeem their
investments in the underlying funds on daily basis.
Certain Funds invest in ETFs. The ETFs finance their operations by issuing redeemable shares which
are puttable at the holder’s option and entitle the holder to a proportional stake in each ETF’s net asset
value. The ETFs are domiciled in Canada, the U.S. and Japan and listed on recognized public stock
exchanges. The Funds’ maximum exposure to loss from their interest in ETFs is equal to the total fair
value of their investments in ETFs.
The Funds’ investments in underlying funds or ETFs are accounted for at FVTPL and included in
“Investments” in the Statements of Financial Position. All unrealized gains (losses) arising from these
investments are recorded as part of “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of
investments and derivatives” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income until these investments are
sold, at which time the gains (losses) are realized and reflected in the Statements of Comprehensive
Income in “Net realized gain (loss) on sale of investments and derivatives”.
The Funds’ maximum exposure to loss from their interest in ETFs, underlying funds and mortgage/
asset-backed securities is equal to the total fair value of their investments in these non-consolidated
structured entities.
Additional information related to Interest in Non-Consolidated Structured Entities for each of the Funds
appears under the Fund Specific Notes to Financial Statements, where applicable.
x. Withholding taxes
A Fund may, from time to time, incur withholding taxes imposed by certain countries on investment
income and capital gains. Such income and gains are recorded on a gross basis and the related
withholding taxes are shown separately in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
y. Harmonized sales tax
Certain provinces including Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Newfoundland and Labrador (each a Participating Tax Jurisdiction) have harmonized their provincial
sales tax (“PST”) with the federal goods and services tax (“GST”). The Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”)
combines the federal GST rate of 5% with the PST rate of the participating province. The province of
Quebec also applies the Quebec sales tax (“QST”) of 9.975%. The Provincial HST liability or refund is
calculated using the residency of unitholders and the value of their interest in the Fund as at specific
times, rather than the physical location of the Fund. The effective sales tax rate charged to each class
of the Fund is based on the unitholders’ proportionate investments by province, using each province’s
HST rate, GST rate in the case of non-participating provinces and/or QST rate. All amounts are
presented as “Harmonized sales tax” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
z. Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
The final version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was issued by the IASB in July 2014 and will
replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces a model
for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model and
a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The new single, principle based approach
for determining the classification of financial assets is driven by cash flow characteristics and the
business model in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a single impairment model
being applied to all financial instruments, which will require more timely recognition of expected
credit losses. It also includes changes in respect of the entity’s own credit risk in measuring liabilities
elected to be measured at fair value, so that gains caused by the deterioration of an entity’s own credit
risk on such liabilities are no longer recognized in profit or loss. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Manager of the Funds’ is in the process of assessing the
impact of IFRS 9.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the reported amounts of income
and expenses during the reporting period. The following discusses the most significant accounting
judgments and estimates that the Funds have made in preparing their financial statements:
Fair value measurement of investments and derivatives not quoted in active market
The Funds may, from time to time, hold financial instruments that are not quoted in active
markets, such as unlisted securities, private securities or derivatives. Unlisted securities are
valued based on price quotations from recognized investment dealers, or failing that, their fair
value is determined by the Manager on the basis of the latest reported information available.
The fair value of private securities is determined by using valuation models that may be based,
in part, on assumptions that are not supported by observable market inputs. These methods and
procedures may include, but are not limited to, performing comparisons with prices of comparable
or similar securities, obtaining valuation related information from issuers and/or other analytical
data relating to the investment and using other available indications of value. These values are
independently assessed by the Manager to ensure that they are reasonable. However, because
of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair values for these securities may be
materially different from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the
investment existed. The fair values of private securities are affected by the perceived credit risks
of the issuer, predictability of cash flows and the length of time to maturity.
Valuation models use observable data, to the extent practicable. However, areas such as credit
risk (both own and counterparty); volatilities and correlations require the Manager to make
estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair values of
financial instruments.
The Funds consider observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly
distributed and updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent
sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

Classification and measurement of investments and application of the fair value option
In classifying and measuring financial instruments held by the Funds, the Manager is required
to make significant judgments about whether or not the business of the Funds is to invest on a
total return basis for the purpose of applying the fair value option for the financial assets under
IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. The most significant judgment
made includes the determination that the fair value option can be applied to those investments
that are not HFT.
4. REDEEMABLE UNITS
Redeemable units issued and outstanding represent the capital of each Fund.
Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of redeemable, transferable units of each class.
Generally the Funds have no restrictions or specific capital requirements, except for the minimum
subscription/redemption amounts. The relevant changes pertaining to subscription and redemption of
each Fund’s units are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders
of Redeemable Units. In accordance with the objectives and risk management policies outlined in
Notes 1 and 10, the Funds endeavor to invest subscriptions received in appropriate investments while
maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions through utilizing a short-term borrowing facility
or disposal of investments when necessary.
Redeemable unit transactions information appears in the Fund Specific Notes to Financial Statements
of each of the Funds.
In order to establish each individual class the Manager has made initial investments in certain Funds.
As at September 30, the Manager held investments in the following Funds:

5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES
The Manager of each Fund in consideration for management fees, provides management services
required in the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including management of the investment portfolios
of the Funds and provision of key management personnel.
The management fee is calculated based on a percentage of the net asset values of each class of a
Fund (other than Class I, IT8, O, OT5, OT8, P, PT5 and PT8) at the end of each business day.
Investors in Class I, IT8 O, OT5, OT8, P, PT5 and PT8 units are charged management fees directly as
negotiated between the investor and the Manager.
During the period ended September 30, 2017, the Manager of the Funds absorbed a total of $712,000
(2016 - $904,000) and U.S.$8,000 (2016 – U.S.$48,000) in management fees due to the declining yields
generated by the following funds: CI Money Market Fund and CI US Money Market Fund, respectively.
The Manager bears all of the operating expenses of the Funds (other than certain taxes, borrowing
costs and new governmental fees) in return for a fixed annual administration fees. Administration fees
are calculated as a fixed annual percentage of the net asset value of each class of a Fund (other than
Class I) at the end of each business day.
Investors in Class I and IT8 units are charged administration fees directly as negotiated between the
investor and the Manager.
A Fund that invests in units/shares of underlying funds will not pay a duplicate management and
administration fees on the portion of assets that are invested in units/shares of underlying funds.
During the reporting period, a Fund may have received a management and/or administration fee
rebates from the underlying funds’ Manager relating to its investment in the underlying funds. The
management and/or administration fee rebates are included in “Fees rebate receivable” and in “Fees
rebate” as reflected in the Statements of Financial Position and Statements of Comprehensive Income
of each Fund, as applicable.
Refer to the Management and Administration Fees in the Fund Specific Notes to the Financial
Statements for the management and administrative fee rates applicable to each class.
Prior to settlement of forward purchase agreements Cambridge Monthly Income Fund and Signature
High Yield Bond Fund paid to the counterparties under Forward Purchase Agreement a fee of no more
than 0.50% per annum of the market value of notional exposure to the Trust/Fund under the Forward
Agreements calculated and paid monthly. Forward fees paid to the counterparties are included in
“Forward fees” in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Certain Funds have entered into a securities lending program with their Custodian. The aggregate
market value of all securities loaned by a Fund cannot exceed 50% of the assets of the Fund. A Fund
will receive collateral of at least 102% of the value of securities on loan. Collateral will generally
be comprised of cash and obligations of or guaranteed by the Government of Canada or a province
thereof, or by the United States government or its agencies, but may include obligations of other
governments with appropriate credit ratings. For those Funds participating in the program, amounts for
securities loaned and the collateral received as well as reconciliation between gross securities lending
revenue and securities lending revenue received by each Fund appear on the Fund Specific Notes to
the Financial Statements. Revenue from securities lending is included in “Securities lending revenue”
in the Statements of Comprehensive Income and any cash collateral received or cash collateral
payable is included in the Statements of Financial Position in “Cash collateral received for securities
on loan” or “Payable for cash collateral under securities lending”.
7. INCOME TAXES
The Funds, except for CI U.S. Income US$ Pool, Marret Short Duration High Yield Fund, Marret
High Yield Bond Fund, Marret Strategic Yield Fund, Select Canadian Equity Managed Fund, Select
International Equity Managed Fund, Select Staging Fund, Select U.S. Equity Managed Fund, Cambridge
Balanced Yield Pool, Cambridge Bond Fund, Cambridge Canadian Short Term Pool, Cambridge Premium
Yield Pool, Cambridge Stock Selection Fund, Harbour Analyst Fund and Signature Cash Management
Fund, qualify as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada). All of the Funds’ net income
for tax purposes and sufficient net capital gains realized in any period are required to be distributed
to unitholders such that no income tax is payable by each of the Funds. As a result, the Funds do
not record income taxes. Since the Funds do not record income taxes, the tax benefit of capital and
non-capital losses has not been reflected in the Statements of Financial Position as a deferred income
tax asset. Income tax on net realized capital gains not paid or payable will generally be recoverable
by virtue of refunding provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and provincial income tax
legislation, as redemptions occur. Occasionally, the Funds may distribute more than it earns. This
excess distribution is a return of capital and is not taxable to unitholders.
CI Canadian Dividend Fund under distributed net realizable capital gains during the year ended
December 31, 2011, which resulted in a tax payable. Under the terms of an agreement dated
March 12, 2012, a third party administrator has acknowledged its responsibility and unconditionally
assumed the tax liability, and the Fund has agreed to undertake all commercially reasonable and
legally permissible measures, not to the detriment of unitholders, to recover tax payments and remit
such recovered amounts, if any, to the third party administrator as they occur. In 2012, the taxes
were paid in accordance with the agreement. The under distribution of realized capital gains did not
adversely impact the unitholders of the Fund as the balance was paid by the 3rd party administrator.
The remaining tax payable and tax recoverable amounts are included in “Other” in the Statements
of Financial Position.
The CI U.S. Income US$ Pool, Marret Short Duration High Yield Fund, Marret High Yield Bond Fund,
Marret Strategic Yield Fund, Select Canadian Equity Managed Fund, Select International Equity
Managed Fund, Select Staging Fund, Select U.S. Equity Managed Fund, Cambridge Balanced Yield
Pool, Cambridge Bond Fund, Cambridge Canadian Short Term Pool, Cambridge Premium Yield Pool,
Cambridge Stock Selection Fund, Harbour Analyst Fund and Signature Cash Management Fund, qualify
as a unit trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and are not subject to tax on their net income,
including net realized capital gains for the taxation year, which is paid or payable to their unitholders
at the end of the taxation year. However, such part of each Fund’s taxable income and net realized
capital gains that is not so paid or payable to its unitholders will be taxable to that Fund. It is the
– 125 –
CI Mutual Funds
Semi-Annual Financial Statements - September 30, 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
intention of each Fund to distribute all net taxable income and sufficient net realized capital gains so
that the Funds will not be subject to income tax. As a result, the Funds do not record income taxes. As
a result, the Funds do not record income taxes. Since the Funds do not record income taxes, the tax
benefit of capital and non-capital losses has not been reflected in the Statements of Financial Position
as a deferred income tax asset. Occasionally, a Fund may distribute more than it earns. This excess
distribution is a return of capital and is not taxable to unitholders.
8. REINVESTMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS
When a Fund pays a distribution to a unitholder, it will be paid in the same currency in which the units
are held. Distributions are automatically reinvested without charge in the same Fund or paid out in
cash to the unitholder. The Manager may change the distribution policy at its discretion.
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Funds may have direct or indirect holdings in CI Financial Corp. or its affiliates or other funds
managed by the Manager as identified in the Schedule of Investment Portfolio and the Fund Specific
Notes to the Financial Statements, where applicable.
The Manager of the Funds may, from time to time, make initial investments in certain classes of
certain Funds to help establish a class or a Fund. Details of the investments made by the Manager
are disclosed in Note 4.
For certain Funds, the “Proceeds from redeemable units issued” include amounts related to
accumulated interest from previous periods that have been distributed to unitholders through the
issuance of new units as well as amounts contributed by the Manager related thereto.
Inter-fund trading
Inter-fund trading occurs when a Fund purchases or sells a security of any issuer from or to another
Fund managed by the Manager. These transactions are executed through market intermediaries and
under prevailing market terms and conditions. The Independent Review Committee reviews such
transactions during scheduled meetings. During the period ended September 30, 2017, certain Funds
executed inter-fund trades.
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK
Risk management
The Funds are exposed to a variety of financial instruments risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market
risk (including other price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk). The level of risk to which each
Fund is exposed to depends on the investment objective and the type of investments the Fund holds.
The value of investments within a portfolio can fluctuate daily as a result of changes in prevailing
interest rates, economic and market conditions and company specific news related to investments
held by the Fund. The Manager of the Funds may minimize potential adverse effects of these risks on
the Funds’ performance by, but not limited to, regular monitoring of the Funds’ positions and market
events, diversification of the investment portfolio by asset type, country, sector, term to maturity
within the constraints of the stated objectives, and through the usage of derivatives to hedge certain
risk exposures.
Concentration risk
Concentration risk arises as a result of the concentration of exposures within the same category,
whether it is a geographical allocation, asset type, industry sector or counterparty.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a security issuer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to meet its
financial obligations. The fair value of a debt instrument includes consideration for the credit worthiness
of the debt issuer. The carrying amount of debt instruments as shown on the Schedule of Investment
Portfolio represents the credit risk exposure of each Fund. Credit risk exposure for derivative instruments
is based on each Fund’s unrealized gain on the contractual obligations with the counterparty as at the
reporting date. The credit rating of a counterparty to a derivative instrument is disclosed in Schedule
of Investment Portfolio or in Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements section of the financial
statements of each Fund, if applicable. The credit risk exposure of the Fund’s other assets is represented
by their carrying amount as disclosed in the Statements of Financial Position.
The Portfolio Series Funds invest only in units/shares of underlying funds and may be exposed
to indirect credit risk in the event that the underlying funds invest in debt instruments, preferred
securities and derivatives.
Credit ratings for debt securities, preferred securities and derivative instruments are obtained from
S&P Global Ratings, where available, otherwise ratings are obtained from: Moody’s Investors Service
or Dominion Bond Rating Service, respectively.
Credit ratings can be either long-term or short-term. Short-term credit ratings are generally assigned
to those obligations and derivative instruments considered short-term in nature. The table below
provides a cross-reference between the long-term credit ratings disclosed in the Credit Rating table
inclusive of the short-term credit ratings disclosed in the derivatives schedules in the Schedule of
Investment Portfolio.
Credit Rating as per Credit Risk Table Credit Rating as per Derivative Schedules

Cash balances, with exception of restricted cash balances and margin accounts, as disclosed in the
Statements of Financial Position are maintained by the Custodian. The Manager monitors the credit
worthiness of the Custodian on a regular basis. As at September 30, 2017, the credit rating of the
Custodian was AA- (March 31, 2017 – AA-).
All transactions executed by a Fund in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using
approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made
once the broker has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been
received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

CI Mutual Funds
Semi-Annual Financial Statements - September 30, 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont’d)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that a Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations, on time or at
a reasonable price. The Funds are exposed to daily cash redemption of redeemable units. Therefore,
the Funds invest the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in active markets and can
be readily disposed of. In addition, the Funds retain sufficient cash and cash equivalents positions to
maintain liquidity. From time to time, the Funds may enter into derivative contracts or invest in unlisted
securities that may not trade in an organized market and may be illiquid. All financial liabilities are
due within three months.
Market risk
The Funds’ investments are subject to market risk which is the risk that the fair value of future cash
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market conditions.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk). The
value of each investment is influenced by the outlook of the issuer and by general economic and
political conditions, as well as industry and market trends. All securities present a risk of loss of
capital. Except for options written, future contracts sold short and investments sold short, the
maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair value. On written call
options, short future positions and on equity and debt sold short, the maximum loss of capital can
be unlimited.
Other assets and liabilities are monetary items that are short-term in nature and therefore are not
subject to significant other price risk.
Currency risk
Currency risk arises from financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of the Funds. As a result, the Funds may be exposed to the risk that the value
of securities denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates.
The Schedule of Investment Portfolio identifies all bonds and derivative instruments denominated
in foreign currencies. Equities traded in foreign markets are also exposed to currency risk as
the prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to the Funds’ functional currency to
determine their fair value.
The Portfolio Series Funds invest only in units/shares of underlying funds and may be exposed to
indirect currency risk in the event that the underlying funds invest in financial instruments that are
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Fund.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of interest-bearing investments will fluctuate due to
changes in prevailing levels of market interest rates. As a result, the value of the Funds that invest
in debt securities and/or income trusts will be affected by changes in applicable interest rates.
If interest rates fall, the fair value of existing debt securities may increase due to the increase in
yield. Alternatively, if interest rates rise, the yield of existing debt securities may decrease which
may then lead to a decrease in their fair value. The magnitude of the decline will generally be
greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term debt securities.
Interest rate risk also applies to Funds that invest in convertible securities. The fair value of these
securities varies inversely with interest rates, similar to other debt securities. However, since they
may be converted into common units, convertible securities are generally less affected by interest
rate fluctuations than other debt securities.
The Portfolio Series Funds invest only in units/shares of underlying funds and may be exposed to
indirect interest rate risk in the event that the underlying funds invest in interest bearing financial
instruments.
Fair value hierarchy
The Funds are required to classify financial instruments measured at fair value using a fair value
hierarchy. Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets are
classified as Level 1. This Level includes publicly traded equities, exchange-traded and retail mutual
funds, exchange-traded warrants, futures contracts, traded options, American depositary receipts
(“ADRs”) and Global depositary receipts (“GDRs”).
Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based
on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable
inputs are classified as Level 2. These include fixed income securities, mortgage-backed securities
(“MBS”), short-term instruments, non-traded warrants, over-the-counter options, structured notes of
indexed securities, foreign currency forward contracts and swap instruments.
Investments classified as Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs. Level 3 instruments include
private equities, private term-loans, private equity funds and certain derivatives. As observable prices
are not available for these securities, the Funds may use a variety of valuation techniques to derive
the fair value.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into and out of the fair value hierarchy levels as of the date
of the event or change in circumstances giving rise to the transfer.
During the six-month period the exposure to financial instruments risks including fair value hierarchy
classification changed significantly for some of the Funds as per details disclosed in the Fund Specific
Notes to Financial Statements of each of those Funds. For details relating to financial instruments risk
exposure including fair value hierarchy classification for remaining Funds refer to the audited annual
financial statements as at March 31, 2017, as these Funds’ exposure remained the same throughout
the period.
