Golf Canada Board of Directors Meeting June 20 and 21, 2013
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE REPORT Meetings since last report: June 18 Key Activities: Performance Review – see-attached report. Return for the 7 months to May 31st is 3.34% compared to a full year budget of 4.25 % and a full year target of 6%. Recent results have been adversely impacted by volatility in interest rates, but we are still projecting that we can finish the year ahead of budget. The committee had an extensive discussion about the outlook for interest rates and the risk to the portfolio. There was general agreement that there are some short-term bond holdings that should be sold and our investment advisor will recommend some other holdings that could be added to the portfolio for Committee decision. These changes will be considered shortly and an additional meeting will be held to approve the changes. In addition we continue to review the risks within the overall portfolio and considered different ways to assess the risk attaching to different types of securities. Golf Canada Foundation – In contemplation of having increased funds within the Foundation we have started discussions about how we might be able to enhance the Foundation returns while meeting its needs for liquidity and risk management. The Investment Committee is currently managing the Foundation’s money as a separate portfolio and are working with the Foundation Board to consider loaning the money to Golf Canada so it can be managed as part of our larger portfolio, which we feel will provide them with greater overall returns. Future Scheduled Meetings: September, November, AGM Submitted by, Doug Alexander Chair, Investment Committee

Investment Guidelines
c) Currency: The Portfolio may include investments denominated in any currency without restriction. The Committee may, at any time,
place guidelines and/or restrictions regarding exposure to foreign currency risks, to be followed by the IMs. If necessary, a currency
hedging program may be initiated on the entire Portfolio. Notwithstanding the fact that investments may be in various currencies,
reporting on the Portfolio as a whole shall be in Canadian dollars.
a) Prohibited Investments include but are not limited to:
- investments precluded by law or regulation;
- Investments specifically proscribed by the Board; and
diversification requirements are as follows:
Diversification relative to a single security: At no time should a single security holding represent more than 2% of the outstanding
investable assets of the Portfolio. This limit does not apply to a security whose purpose is to provide exposure to a widely diversified
Investment Guidelines
- Investments in asset classes or investment strategies not contemplated in any part of the IPS, without the prior written consent of the
Committee
b) Diversification: To limit the Portfolio’s risk associated with potential concentration in securities and/or Investment Funds,
set of other securities, such as an ETF, total return swap, or futures contract.
Diversification relative to a single Investment Fund: Any Investment Fund operating within any asset class should not manage more
than 25% of the outstanding investable assets of the Portfolio at the time the investment is made. This sub-section does not preclude
the possibility that investment in multiple Investment Funds owned by the same entity may aggregately represent more than 25% of
the outstanding investable assets of the Portfolio. In the event that an increase in value of such an investment (or a decrease in value in
the balance of the Portfolio) results in an individual investment in and Investment Fund representing more than 25% of the portfolio,
the CIO shall report to the Committee without delay. The CIO will recommend a plan to bring the holdings in compliance with the IPS

D"Speculative". These fall under the 'Riskier" category but are more risky, usually because they involve investments into
start-ups or extremely volatile asset classes. They are not suitable for this portfolio.
C"Riskier". These investments are generally un-hedged equity investments that have higher volatility. They bring higher
returns but have greater volatility that makes them susceptible to larger losses at times of financial crisis.
APPENDIX A - EXPANDED ALTERNATIVE DEFINITION

duration, investments-grade debt instruments only
