CI Global Value Corporate ClassManagement Report of Fund Performance for the year ended March 31, 2018

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGIESThe objective of the CI Global Value Corporate Class (the “Fund”) is to obtain maximum long-term capital growth by identifying securities that the portfolio advisor believes are undervalued and have potential for future growth. It invests in equity and equity-related securities of companies around the world. The Fund may make large investments in any country, including emerging markets and emerging industries of any market.

The portfolio advisor uses techniques such as fundamental analysis to assess growth potential. This means evaluating the financial condition and management of a company, its industry and the overall economy. The portfolio advisor analyzes financial data, assesses the quality of management, and conducts company interviews.

The Fund may use derivatives, but only as permitted by securities regulations. In order to earn additional income, the Fund may also enter into securities lending transactions, repurchase transactions and reverse repurchase transactions, to the extent permitted by securities regulations.

RISKThere were no changes to the Fund over the period of this report that materially affected the overall level of risk associated with the Fund. The Fund is suitable for investors who want to invest in foreign companies, are investing for the medium and/or long term, and can tolerate medium risk.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONSAs of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the net asset value of the Fund was $41.5 million. The Fund had net redemptions of $0.9 million during the year. The portfolio’s performance increased assets by $2.4 million. The Fund paid distributions totalling $1.5 million. Class A shares returned 5.0% after fees and expenses for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. Over the same time period, the Fund’s benchmark returned 10.6%. The benchmark is the MSCI World Total Return Index.

The performance of the Fund’s other classes is substantially similar to that of Class A shares, except for differences in the structure of fees and expenses. For the returns of the Fund’s other classes, please refer to the “Past performance” section.

The Fund underperformed the MSCI World Total Return Index for the 12 months ending March 31, 2018. The fear that persisted in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) has been replaced by complacency and growing excesses in many markets throughout 2017 and continuing into early 2018. Aggressive and largely synchronized unconventional monetary policies among the world’s major central banks have been the primary fuel powering the rise in asset prices post the GFC. However, beginning in February, markets experienced an arguably long-overdue bout of volatility as investors began to focus more on the risk side of the risk/return relationship.

Holdings in consumer discretionary, industrials, and information technology weighed on relative performance, while positions in financials, utilities, and telecommunications outperformed.

In the consumer discretionary sector, Grupo Televisa SAB continues to recover from self-inflicted issues in its Mexican advertising business, which we expect will improve as the new pricing strategy takes effect. Also, Regal Entertainment Group has been under persistent pressure in U.S. box office sales. In industrials, General Electric Co. saw weak demand for some end markets, particularly power. We think General Electric’s new management is incentivized to improve the power business by rightsizing the manufacturing base. Technology holding Thomson Reuters announced plans to divest its financial and risk division into a joint venture with Blackstone, however its shares sold off due to the complicated nature of the transaction.

In financials, AXA SA, a French insurer, plans to acquire XL Group Ltd. for a 33% premium at the time of the offer, given its attractive insurance franchise, particularly in the U.S. Investors have become increasingly confident in Deutsche Boerse’s new product initiatives. Utilities holding, Uniper SE, raised guidance after reporting strong results that benefitted from restructuring efforts and higher power prices. In telecommunications, TDC accepted an offer from a group of Danish pension funds to buy it for a 26% premium at the time of the offer.

Positions sold during the period:• Kasikornbank – a major banking group in Thailand• Loews Corp. – a holding company with subsidiaries in insurance, oil and gas, and

RECENT DEVELOPMENTSReflecting our value discipline, the portfolio’s underlying exposures and risks have evolved, and we believe they are appropriate, considering the opportunities available in equity markets and their associated risks. Although it is possible that the prevailing complacency, narrow market leadership, and stretched valuations persist, we believe the risk associated with such an environment is asymmetric and heavily skewed to the downside. Instead, we believe the embedded value and distinctive investment theses underlying our investments are timely, sensible, and well suited to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns in what we believe will be an increasingly challenging environment.

Effective April 3, 2018, Karen Fisher became a member of the CI Board of Governors (“BOG”) and the Independent Review Committee (“IRC”) of the Fund. Meanwhile, Christopher Hopper resigned from the role as a member of the BOG and IRC.

(1) This information is derived from the Fund’s audited annual financial statements.

(2) Management expense ratio is calculated based on expenses charged to the Fund (excluding commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets for the year, including the Fund’s proportionate share of any underlying fund(s) expenses, if applicable. The Effective HST tax rate is calculated using the attribution percentage for each province based on shareholder residency and can be different from 13%.

(3) The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets during the year, including the Fund’s proportionate share of such expenses of any underlying fund(s), if applicable.

(4) The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund’s portfolio advisor manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of the fiscal year. The higher a Fund’s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in the year, and the greater the chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a higher turnover rate and the performance of a Fund. Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of the cost of purchases and the proceeds of sales of portfolio securities for the year, and excluding cash and short-term investments maturing in less than one year, and before assets acquired from a merger, if applicable, by the average of the monthly fair value of investments during the year.
