Independent Auditor’s Report

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each of the Funds, which comprise the statements of

financial position, comprehensive income, changes in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units/shares

and cash flows as at and for the periods indicated in Note 1, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of

significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of each of

the Funds in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as

management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements of each of the Funds based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards

require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance

about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the

financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of

the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk

assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of

the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for

the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes

evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made

by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in each of our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a

basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements of each of the Funds present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position, financial performance and cash flows of each of the Funds as at and for the periods indicated in Note 1 in

accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

BMO Global Strategic Bond Fund

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit data)September 30, 2017

1. The Mutual FundBMO Global Strategic Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is an open-ended mutual fund established under the laws of the province of Ontario by Declaration of Trust. The Master Declaration of Trust was amended on October 23, 2008 and November 3, 2009 to permit certain funds to offer a multi-series structure. In addition to the existing Series A units, certain Funds are permitted to offer Series A Hedged, Advisor Series, Advisor Series Hedged, Series T4, Series T5, Series T6, Series M, Series F, Series F Hedged, Series F2, Series F4, Series F6, Premium Series, Series D, Series H, Series I, Series N, Series NBA, Series NBF, Series O, Series L, Series R, Series S and/or Classic Series units. Each series is intended for different kinds of investors and has different management fees and fixed administration fees. Refer to Note 8 for the series issued for this Fund as well as the management and administration fee rates for each series.

BMO Investments Inc. (“the Manager”) is the Manager and Trustee of the Fund. The Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal. The address of the Fund’s registered office is 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A1.

The Statement of Financial Position of each of the Funds are as at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Units, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes are for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. Financial information for a Fund established during the period(s) is presented from the date of inception as noted in Note 8. Financial information provided for a series established during the period(s) is presented from the inception date as noted in Note 8.

Certain comparative figures in the Statement of Cash Flows have been revised to appropriately reflect the exclusion of non-cash items from “Proceeds from issuances of redeemable units” and “Amounts paid on redemption of redeemable units” arising from switches between series within a Fund. There is no net impact on cash flows from financing activities within each Fund. The amounts revised are disclosed in Note 8, where applicable.

These financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Manager on December 5, 2017.

2. Basis of preparation and presentationThese audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

3. Summary of significant accounting policiesFinancial instrumentsThe Fund records financial instruments at fair value. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Fund’s investments are either designated at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) at inception or classified as held for trading. The changes in the investment fair values and related transaction costs are recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading are those acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near future, or on initial recognition, are part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Fund manages together and that have a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking. The Fund classifies all derivatives and short positions as held for trading. The Fund does not designate any derivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship.

The Fund designates all other investments at FVTPL, as they have reliably measurable fair values and are part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities that are managed and have their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Fund’s investment strategy.

The Fund’s outstanding redeemable units, which are puttable instruments, are entitled to a contractual obligation of annual distribution of any net income and net realized capital gains by the Fund. This annual distribution can be in cash at the option of the unitholders, and therefore the ongoing redemption feature is not the redeemable units’ only contractual obligation. The Fund may issue multiple series of redeemable units, which are equally subordinated but are not identical. As a result, the Fund’s obligations for net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units are classified as financial liabilities and presented at the redemption amounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)(All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit data)September 30, 2017

All other financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Under this method, financial assets and financial liabilities reflect the amount required to be received, paid or discounted, when appropriate, at the contract’s effective interest rate.

The Manager has determined that the Fund meets the definition of “investment entity” and as a result, the Fund measures subsidiaries, if any, at FVTPL.

Cost of investmentsThe cost of investments represents the amount paid for each security and is determined on an average cost basis.

Fair value measurementInvestments are recorded at their fair value with the change between this amount and their average cost being recorded as “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

For exchange-traded securities, close prices are considered to be fair value if they fall within the bid-ask spread. In circumstances where the close 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 specific facts and circumstances.

Procedures are in place to fair value securities traded in countries outside of North America daily, to avoid stale prices and to take into account, among other things, any significant events occurring after the close of a foreign market.

For bonds, debentures, asset-backed securities and other debt securities, fair value is represented by bid prices provided by independent security pricing services. Short-term investments, if any, are held at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

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.

Mutual fund units held as investments are valued at their respective Net Asset Value (“NAV”) on each Valuation Date (the “Valuation Date” is each day on which the Toronto Stock Exchange is open for trading), as these values are the most readily and regularly available.

For securities where market quotes are not available, unreliable or not considered to reflect the current value, the Manager may determine another value which it considers to be fair and reasonable, or use a valuation technique that, to the extent possible, makes maximum use of inputs and assumptions based on observable market data including volatility, comparable companies, NAV (for exchange-traded funds) and other applicable rates or prices. These estimation techniques include discounted cash flows, internal models that utilize observable data or comparisons with other securities that are substantially similar. In limited circumstances, the Manager may use internal models where the inputs are not based on observable market data.

Derivative instrumentsDerivative instruments are financial contracts that derive their value from changes in the underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates or other financial or commodity prices or indices.

Derivative instruments are either regulated exchange-traded contracts or negotiated over-the-counter contracts. The Fund may use these instruments for trading purposes, as well as to manage the Fund’s risk exposures.

Derivatives are measured at fair value. Realized gains and losses are included in “Net realized gain(loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and unrealized gains and losses are included in “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Forward currency contractsA forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties (the Fund and the counterparty) to purchase or sell a currency against another currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes, which can include the economic hedging of all or a portion of the currency exposure of an investment or group of investments, either directly or indirectly. The Fund may also enter into these contracts for non-hedging purposes, which can include increasing the exposure to a foreign currency, or shifting the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The value of forward currency contracts entered into by the Fund is recorded as the difference between the value of the contract on the Valuation Date and the value on the date the contract originated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)(All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit data)September 30, 2017

Option contractsThe Fund may engage in option contract transactions by purchasing (long positions) or writing (short positions) call or put option contracts. These contracts have different risk exposures for the Fund, whereas the risk for long positions will be limited to the premium paid to purchase the option contracts, the risk exposure for the short positions are potentially unlimited until closed or expired.

Purchased option contractsThe premium paid for purchasing an option is recorded as an asset in the Statement of Financial Position. The option contract is valued on each Valuation Date at an amount equal to the fair value of the option that would have the effect of closing the position. The change in the difference between the premium and the fair value is shown as “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

When a purchased option expires, the Fund will realize a loss equal to the premium paid. When a purchased option is closed, the gain or loss the Fund will realize will be the difference between the proceeds and the premium paid. When a purchased call option is exercised, the premium paid is added to the cost of acquiring the underlying security. When a purchased put option is exercised, the premium paid is subtracted from the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security that had to be sold.

Written option contractsThe premium received from writing a call or put option is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position.

When a written option expires, the Fund will realize a gain equal to the premium received. When a written option is closed, the Fund will realize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the cost at which the contract was closed and the premium received. When a written call option is exercised, the premium received is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying investments to determine the realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the premium received will be subtracted from the cost of the underlying investment the Fund had to purchase.

The gain or loss that the Fund realizes when a purchased or written option is expired or closed is

recorded as “Net realized gain (loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Futures contractsFutures contracts are financial agreements to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a contracted price on a specified future date. Futures contracts are valued at the gain or loss that would arise as a result of closing the position at the Valuation date. Any difference between the notional value on each Valuation Date is recorded as “Net realized gain (loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Treasury bills or cash are held as margin against futures contracts.

Credit default swap contractsA credit default swap contract is an agreement to transfer credit risk from one party, a buyer of protection, to another party, a seller of protection. The Fund, as a seller of protection, would be required to pay a notional or other agreed upon value to the buyer of protection in the event of a default by a third-party. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default occurs. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations.

In connection with the agreement, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the agreement to provide assets of value in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.

The Fund, as a buyer of protection, would receive a notional or other agreed upon value from the seller of protection in the event of a default by a third-party. In return, the Fund would be required to pay to the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default occurs.

Credit default swap contracts are fair valued daily based upon quotations from independent security pricing sources. Premiums paid or received, if any, are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Net periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as “Interest income” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. When credit default swap contracts expire or are closed out, gains or losses are recorded as “Net realized gain (loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)(All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit data)September 30, 2017

Interest rate swap contractsInterest rate swap contracts are agreements between two parties to exchange periodic interest payments based on a notional principal amount. The net periodic payments received or paid from interest rate swap contracts are recorded as “Interest income” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Payments received or paid when the Fund enters into the contract are recorded as a liability or asset in the Statement of Financial Position. When the contract is terminated or expires, the payments received or paid are recorded as “Net realized gain (loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Payments received or paid upon early termination are recorded as “Net realized gain (loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Interest rate swap agreements are valued based upon quotations from independent sources. The change in value is shown as “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Fund enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage the exposure to interest rates.

Income recognitionDividend income and distribution from investment trusts are recognized on the ex-dividend and ex-distribution date, respectively.

Interest income from interest bearing investments is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest rate. Interest receivable shown in the Statement of Financial Position is accrued based on the interest bearing investments’ stated rates of interest.

Interest on inflation-indexed bonds is paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. The inflation adjustment of the principal value is recognized as part of interest income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. If held to maturity, the Fund will receive, in addition to a coupon interest payment, a final payment equal to the sum of the par value and the inflation compensation accrued from the original issue date. Interest is accrued on each Valuation Date based on the inflation adjusted par

value at that time and is included in “Interest income” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Foreign currency translationThe fair value of investments and other assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into the Fund’s functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the period-end date. Purchases and sales of investments, and income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Foreign exchange gains (losses) on completed transactions are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) are included in “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Foreign exchange gains (losses) relating to cash, receivables and payables are included in "Foreign exchange gain (loss)" in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Securities lendingA Fund may engage in securities lending pursuant to the terms of an agreement with BNY Mellon (the “security lending agent”). The aggregate market value of all securities loaned by the Fund cannot exceed 50% of the NAV of the Fund. The Fund will receive collateral of at least 102% of the value of securities on loan. Collateral will generally be comprised of obligations of or guarantee by the Government of Canada or a province thereof, or by the United States government or its agencies, but it may include obligations of other governments with appropriate credit ratings. Further, the program entered into provides for 100% indemnification by the securities lending agent and parties related to the Fund’s custodian, to the Fund for any defaults by borrowers.

For those Funds participating in the program, aggregate values of securities on loan, the collateral held as at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, and information about the security lending income earned by the Fund are disclosed in Note 8.

Income from securities lending, where applicable, is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and is recognized when earned. The breakdown of the securities lending income is disclosed in Note 8, where applicable.

Short-term trading penaltyTo discourage excessive trading, the Fund may, at the Manager’s sole discretion, charge a short-term trading penalty. This penalty is paid directly to the Fund and is included in “Short-term penalty fees” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

CashCash is comprised of cash and deposits with banks which include bankers’ acceptances and overnight demand deposits. Cash is recorded at fair value. The carrying amount of cash approximates its fair value because it is short-term in nature.

Other assets and other liabilitiesReceivable for investments sold, dividends receivable, distribution receivable from investment trusts, and subscriptions receivable are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Similarly, payable for investments purchased, redemptions payable, distributions payable and accrued expenses are measured at amortized cost. Other assets and liabilities are short-term in nature, and are carried at cost or amortized cost.

Increase or decrease in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units“Increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units per unit” of a series in the Statement of Comprehensive Income represents the increase (decrease) in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units (“Net Assets”) of the series divided by the weighted average number of units of the series outstanding during the period.

TaxationThe Fund qualifies as a unit trust under the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Distributions of all net taxable income and sufficient amounts of net realized capital gains for each taxation year will be paid to unitholders so that the Fund will not be subject to income tax. As a result, the Fund has determined that it is in substance not taxable and therefore does not record income taxes in the Statement of Comprehensive Income nor does it recognize any deferred tax assets or liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.

The Fund may incur withholding taxes imposed by certain countries on investment income and capital gains. Such income and capital gains are recorded on a gross basis with the related withholding taxes shown as

a separate expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associatesSubsidiaries are entities over which the Fund has control through its exposure or rights to variable returns from its investment and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Manager has determined that the Fund is an investment entity and as such, it accounts for subsidiaries, if any, at fair value. Joint ventures are those where the Fund exercises joint control through an agreement with other shareholders, and associates are investments in which the Fund exerts significant influence over operating, investing, and financing decisions (such as entities in which the Fund owns 20% - 50% of voting shares), all of which, if any, have been designated at FVTPL.

Unconsolidated structured entitiesDuring the periods, the Fund had no sponsored unconsolidated structured entities. The Manager has determined that the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest in are unconsolidated structured entities. This determination is based on the fact that decision making about the underlying funds is not governed by the voting right or other similar right held by the Fund. Similarly, investments in securitizations, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are determined to be interests in unconsolidated structured entities.

The Fund may invest in underlying funds whose investment objectives range from achieving short-term to long-term income and capital growth potential. Underlying funds may use leverage in a manner consistent with their respective investment objectives and as permitted by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Underlying funds finance their operations by issuing redeemable units which are puttable at the holders’ option and entitles the holder to a proportionate stake in the respective fund’s Net Assets. The change in fair value of each of the underlying funds during the periods is included in “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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

The Fund does not provide and has not committed to providing any additional significant financial or other support to the unconsolidated structured entities other than its investment in the unconsolidated structured entities.

Additional information on the Fund’s interest in unconsolidated structured entities, where applicable, is provided in Note 8.

Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilitiesFinancial instruments are presented at net or gross amounts in the Statement of Financial Position depending on the existence of intention and legal right to offset opposite positions of such instruments held with the same counterparties. Amounts offset in the Statement of Financial Position are transactions for which the Fund has legally enforceable rights to offset and intends to settle the positions on a net basis. Amounts not offset in the Statement of Financial Position relate to transactions where a master netting arrangement or similar agreement is in place with a right to offset only in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy, or where the Fund has no intention of settling on a net basis.

Accounting standards issued but not yet adoptedIn July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which addresses classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting.

The new standard requires assets to be carried at amortized cost, FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income based on the entity’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The classification and measurement of liabilities remains generally unchanged with the exception of liabilities recorded at FVTPL. For these liabilities, fair value changes attributable to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are to be presented in other comprehensive income unless they affect amounts recorded in income.

The new standard is effective for the Fund for its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018. The Manager is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting this standard but does not expect that the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Fund mergersThe Manager has adopted the purchase method of accounting for certain fund mergers which occurred during the periods. Under this method, one of the Funds in each merger 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 “Terminated Fund”. This identification is based on the comparison of the relative net asset values of the funds as well as consideration of the continuation of such aspects of the Continuing Fund as: investment advisors, investment objectives and practices, type of portfolio securities, and management fees and expenses. Where applicable, refer to Note 8 for the details of the merger transactions.

4. Critical accounting judgements and estimatesThe preparation of financial statements requires the use of judgement in applying the Fund’s accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions about the future. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgements and estimates that the Manager has made in preparing the Fund’s financial statements:

Accounting judgements:Functional and presentation currencyThe Fund’s unitholders are mainly Canadian residents, with the subscriptions and redemptions of the redeemable units denominated in Canadian dollars. The Fund invests in Canadian and U.S. dollars and other foreign denominated securities, as applicable. The performance of the Fund is measured and reported to the investors in Canadian dollars. The Manager considers the Canadian dollar as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Fund's functional and presentation currency.

Classification and measurement of financial instruments and application of fair value optionIn classifying and measuring financial instruments held by the Fund, the Manager is required to make significant judgements about whether or not the business of the Fund is to invest on a total return basis for the purpose of applying the fair value options for financial assets.

BMO Global Strategic Bond Fund

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)(All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit data)September 30, 2017

Accounting estimates:Fair value measurement of securities not quoted in an active marketThe Fund has established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure these estimates are well controlled, independently reviewed, and consistently applied from period to period. The estimates of the value of the Fund’s assets and liabilities are believed to be appropriate as at the reporting date.

The Fund may hold financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets. Note 3 discusses the policies used by the Fund for the estimates used in determining fair value.

5. Units and unit transactionsThe redeemable units of the Fund are classified as liabilities.

The units have no par value and are entitled to distributions, if any. Upon redemption, a unit is entitled to a proportionate share of the Fund’s NAV. The Fund is required to pay distributions in an amount not less than the amount necessary to ensure the Fund will not be liable for income taxes on realized capital gains, dividends and interest. The Fund has no restrictions or specific capital requirements on the subscriptions and redemptions of units except as disclosed in Note 8. The relevant movements in redeemable units are shown in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Units.

In accordance with its investment objectives and strategies, and the risk management practices outlined in Note 7, the Fund endeavours to invest the subscriptions received in appropriate investments, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions, with such liquidity being augmented by short-term borrowings or disposal of investments where necessary.

Redeemable units of the Fund are offered for sale on a continuous basis and may be purchased or redeemed on any Valuation Date at the NAV per unit of a particular series. The NAV per unit of a series for the purposes of subscription or redemption is computed by dividing the NAV of the Fund attributable to the series (that is, the total fair value of the assets attributable to the series less the liabilities attributable to the series) by the total number of units of the series of the Fund outstanding at such time on each Valuation Date, in

accordance with Part 14 of National Instrument (“NI”) 81-106 Investment Fund Continuous Disclosure for the purpose of processing unitholder transactions. Net Assets are determined in accordance with IFRS and may differ to the Funds’ NAV. Where a Funds’ NAV is not equal to its Net Assets, a reconciliation is shown in Note 8.

Expenses directly attributable to a series are charged to that series. Other expenses, income, realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment transactions are allocated proportionately to each series based upon the relative NAV of each series. The gain (loss) of certain forwards in Funds with Hedged Series is allocated only to the hedged series.

6. Related party transactions(a) Management feesThe Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and its investment portfolio in compliance with the Fund’s constating documents. The Manager provides key management personnel to the Fund, monitors and evaluates the performance of the Fund, pays for the investment management services of the investment advisors and provides all related administrative services required by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Manager is entitled to receive a fee payable monthly, calculated at the maximum annual rates included in Note 8.

(b) Fixed administration feesThe Manager pays certain operating expenses of each Fund except for BMO FundSelect Balanced Portfolio (Series NBA only), BMO FundSelect Growth Portfolio (Series NBA only), BMO FundSelect Equity Growth Portfolio (Series NBA only), BMO Covered Call Canadian Banks ETF Fund, BMO Covered Call U.S. High Dividend ETF Fund, BMO Covered Call Europe High Dividend ETF Fund, BMO Fossil Fuel Free Fund, BMO Tactical Global Asset Allocation ETF Fund, BMO Tactical Global Growth ETF Fund, BMO Women in Leadership Fund, BMO International Value Fund and BMO Japan Fund (the “Variable Operating Expense Series”), including audit and legal fees and expenses; custodian and transfer agency fees; costs attributable to the issue, redemption and change of securities, including the cost of the securityholder record keeping system; expenses incurred in respect of preparing and distributing prospectuses, financial reports and other types of reports, statements and communications to securityholders; fund accounting and valuation costs; filing fees, including those incurred by the Manager

(collectively the “Administration Expenses”). In return, the Fund pays a fixed administration fee to the Manager. The fixed administration fee is calculated daily as a fixed annual percentage of the average NAV of the Fund. Refer to Note 8 for the fixed administration fee rates charged to the Fund, where applicable.

(c) Fund expensesThe Fund also pays certain operating expenses directly ("Fund Expenses"), including expenses incurred in respect of preparing and distributing fund facts; interest or other borrowing expenses; all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in relation to compliance with NI 81-107, including compensation and expenses payable to Independent Review Committee ("IRC") members and any independent counsel or other advisors employed by the IRC, the costs of the orientation and continuing education of IRC members and the costs and expenses associated with IRC meetings; taxes of all kinds to which the Fund is or might be subject; and costs associated with compliance with any new governmental or regulatory requirement introduced after December 1, 2007.

The Manager may, in some years and in certain cases, absorb a portion of management fees, fixed administration fees or certain specified expenses of the Fund or series of the Fund. The decision to absorb these expenses is reviewed periodically and determined at the discretion of the Manager, without notice to unitholders.

(d) Variable administration feesThe Variable Operating Expense Series pay all of its operating expenses directly. These operating expenses include Administration Expenses and Fund Expenses.

(e) Commissions and other portfolio transaction costsThe Fund may execute trades with and through BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., an affiliate of the Manager, based on established standard brokerage agreements at market prices. These fees are included in “Commissions and other portfolio transaction costs” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 8 for related party fees charged to the Fund during the period(s) ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, where applicable.

(f) Initial investmentsIn order to establish a new Fund, the Manager makes an initial investment in the Fund. Pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Administrators, an initial investor cannot redeem its investments until an

additional $500 has been received from other investors with respect to the same class of units. Refer to Note 8 for the investment in units of the Fund held by the Manager as at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, where applicable.

(g) Other related party transactionsFrom time to time, the Manager may on behalf of the Fund enter into transactions or arrangements with or involving subsidiaries and affiliates of Bank of Montreal or certain other persons or companies that are related or connected to the Manager of the Fund. These transactions or arrangements may include transactions or arrangements with or involving subsidiaries and affiliates of Bank of Montreal, BMO Investments Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., BMO Asset Management Corp., BMO Private Investment Counsel Inc., BMO Asset Management Inc., BMO InvestorLine Inc., Pyrford International Limited, LGM Investments Limited, BMO Trust Company, F&C Management Limited, BMO Global Asset Management (Asia) Limited, Taplin, Canida & Habacht LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., or other investment funds offered by Bank of Montreal, and may involve the purchase or sale of portfolio securities through or from a subsidiary or affiliates of Bank of Montreal, the purchase or sale of securities issued or guaranteed by a subsidiary or affiliates of Bank of Montreal, the purchase or redemption of units or shares of other Bank of Montreal investment funds or the provision of services to the Manager.

7. Financial instruments risksThe Fund’s activities expose it to a variety of risks associated with the financial instruments, as follows: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other market risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The concentration table groups securities by asset type, geographic location and/or market segment. The Fund’s risk management practice outlines the monitoring of compliance to investment guidelines.

The Manager manages the potential effects of these financial risks on the Fund’s performance by employing and overseeing professional and experienced portfolio managers that regularly monitor the Fund’s positions, market events and diversify investment portfolios within the constraints of the investment guidelines.

Where the Fund invests in other investment fund(s), it may be indirectly exposed to the financial instruments

BMO Global Strategic Bond Fund

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)(All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per unit data)September 30, 2017

risks of the underlying fund(s), depending on the investment objectives and the type of securities held by the underlying fund(s). The decision to buy or sell an underlying fund is based on the investment guidelines and positions, rather than the exposure of the underlying fund(s).

(a) Currency riskCurrency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments denominated in currencies, other than the functional currency of the Fund, will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Investments in foreign markets are exposed to currency risk as the prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to the Fund’s functional currency in determining fair value. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes to reduce foreign currency exposure or to establish exposure to foreign currencies. The Fund’s exposure to currency risk, if any, is further disclosed in Note 8.

(b) Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of the Fund's interest bearing investments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Fund's exposure to interest rate risk is concentrated in its investment in debt securities (such as bonds, money market investments, short-term investments and debentures) and interest rate derivative instruments, if any. Other assets and liabilities are short-term in nature and/or non-interest bearing. The Fund's exposure to interest rate risk, if any, is further discussed in Note 8.

(c) Other market riskOther market risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in a market. Other assets and liabilities are monetary items that are short-term in nature, as such they are not subject to other

market risk. The Fund's exposure to other market risk, if any, is further discussed in Note 8.

(d) Credit riskCredit risk is the risk that a loss could arise from a security issuer or counterparty to a financial instrument not being able to meet its financial obligations. The fair value of debt securities includes consideration of the credit worthiness of the debt issuer. Credit risk exposure for over-the-counter derivative instruments is based on the Fund's unrealized gain of the contractual obligations with the counterparty as at the reporting date. The credit exposure of other assets is represented by its carrying amount. The Fund's exposure to credit risk, if any, is further discussed in Note 8.

The Fund may enter into securities lending transactions with approved counterparties. Credit risk associated with these transactions is considered minimal as all counterparties have a sufficient approved credit rating and the market value of collateral held by the Fund must be at least 102% of the fair value of securities loaned, as disclosed in Note 8.

(e) Liquidity riskThe Fund's exposure to liquidity risk is concentrated in the daily cash redemptions of units. The Fund primarily invests in securities that are traded in active markets and can be readily disposed. In addition, the Fund retains sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain liquidity. The Fund may, from time to time, enter into over-the-counter derivative contracts or invest in unlisted securities, which are not traded in an organized market and may be illiquid. Securities for which a market quotation could not be obtained and may be illiquid are identified on the Schedule of Investment Portfolio. The proportion of illiquid securities to the NAV of the Fund is monitored by the Manager to ensure it does not exceed the regulatory limit and does not significantly affect the liquidity required to meet the Fund's financial obligations.

8. Fund specific information(a) Fund and Series information and change in unitsThe Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units in each of Series A Units, Advisor Series Units, Series F Units, Premium Series Units, Series D Units and Series I Units, which are redeemable at the unitholders’ option.

Series D April 7, 2014

Series I May 9, 2008

* This series was not offered for distribution and was terminated as at the close of business on October 30, 2015.

Series A Units are offered on a no-load basis and are available to all investors.

Advisor Series Units are available to all investors through authorized dealers and brokers.

Series F Units are available for purchase by investors who are enrolled in dealer-sponsored wrap programs or flat fee accounts. Instead of paying a commission on each transaction, these investors pay an annual fee to the Manager based on the value of their assets.

Premium Series Units are intended for investors who participate in the BMO Mutual Funds Premium Wealth Program. The minimum investment for Premium Series is $100 per Fund. No management fees are charged to the Fund with respect to Premium Series. Instead, each investor is charged a management fee directly by the Manager and payable to the Manager for providing general management services.  Each investor would be eligible for management fee reductions depending on their account balance. In addition to the management fee, each investor may pay a dealer service fee, which is payable to their dealer. In certain circumstances, the minimum initial investment for Premium Series of each Fund may be reduced to $10.

Series D Units are available to investors who have an account with a discount brokerage. A reduced trailing commission is paid to discount brokerages in respect to Series D Units which means a lower management fee can be charged.

Series I Units are available only to institutional investors and other investment funds as determined by the Manager from time to time and on a case-by-case basis, and who have entered into an agreement with the Manager. No management fees and fixed administration fees are charged to the Fund in respect of the Series I Units as each investor or dealer negotiates a separate fee with the Manager.

(h) Fair value hierarchyThe Fund classifies its financial instruments into three levels based on the inputs used to value the financial instruments. Level 1 securities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 securities are valued based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices from similar securities and quoted prices in inactive markets or based on observable inputs to models. Level 3 securities are valued based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Manager's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. The tables below show the relevant disclosure.

During the period from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017, $8,604 of debt securities were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 due to reduced observability of the inputs used to value these securities.

During the period from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016, $2,700 of debt securities were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 due to reduced observability of the inputs used to value these securities, and $6,200 of debt securities were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as market information became available for certain corporate debt securities.
