Page | 1 April 5, 2016 Hello everyone, This is the monthly advisor update of the AlphaDelta Growth of Dividend Income Class (“ADGoDIC” or the “Fund”) from SciVest Capital Management Inc. (the sub-advisor to the Fund). Attached is the ADGoDIC Portfolio Disclosure Page. The front-side of the Portfolio Disclosure Page shows all of the current stock holdings of the ADGoDIC, as well as some descriptive, dividend and valuation characteristics for each portfolio holding – plus overall portfolio averages. The back-side of the Page shows a number of relevant pie charts depicting overall ADGoDIC portfolio exposures and characteristics such as sector, market capitalization, dividend yield and dividend growth “bucket” exposures. As shown on the front of the Portfolio Disclosure Page, across the Fund’s current holdings, the weighted average gross dividend yield is 3.6% per annum with impressive double-digit trailing 1, 3 and 5-year dividend growth rates (14.4%, 16.5% and 19.0%, respectively). The 3.6% average dividend yield compares to a portfolio weighted average forward earnings per share yield of 7.9% (219% dividend coverage) and forward cashflow yield of 11.0% (306% dividend coverage). Regarding valuation, the portfolio weighted average 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio is 15.3x and the average 12-month forward price-to-cash-flow ratio is 10.4x. As always, the ADGoDIC portfolio is well diversified across sectors and industry groups with no sector allocation currently exceeding 17.4% (note that we break REITs out of the overall Financial Sector in the sector exposures pie chart, given their unique risk characteristics). In order of size, we have the following exposures to the Bloomberg defined Sectors (plus REITs): 17.4% Consumer Discretionary, 16.8% Financials, 11.6% Technology, 10.9% Industrials, 7.7% Health Care, 7.7% Energy, 6.6% Communications, 6.5% REITs, 6.3% Materials, 4.6% Consumer Staples, and 0% Utilities. On an individual stock holding basis, we currently hold a diversified portfolio of 74 equity positions. During the month of March, we initiated new positions in Ameriprise Financial Inc (AMP), Amtrust Financial Services (AFSI), Bunge Ltd (BG), Lam Research Corp (LRCX), Legg Mason Inc (LM) and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCL). In addition to these new positions, we increased (by more than 0.5%) our existing position in Skyworks Solutions Inc (SWKS). During March, we eliminated our position in The Gap Inc (GPS) and Reliance Steel & Aluminum (RS) – both of which disappointed us in February by announcing unchanged dividends from the prior four quarters thereby missing their expected year-over-year opportunity to increase dividends. In addition, during March we decreased (by more than 0.5%) our positions in Diageo PLC (DEO) and Monsanto Co (MON). We have done more trades in the past several months than is our norm (which is very little). This is due to the recent market correction and high market volatility. In general, this volatility has resulted in a number of mid and large capitalization companies, with very good dividend growth potential, trading at substantial discounts to their historical valuation levels – while at the same time leaving many of the AlphaDelta Growth of Dividend Income Class Monthly Commentary

April 5, 2016 Hello everyone, This is the monthly advisor update of the AlphaDelta Growth of Dividend Income Class (“ADGoDIC” or the “Fund”) from SciVest Capital Management Inc. (the sub-advisor to the Fund). Attached is the ADGoDIC Portfolio Disclosure Page.

mega-capitalization “bond substitute” stocks trading at premiums to their historical valuation levels. We have recently been finding particular value within the Consumer Discretionary and (non-bank) Financials Sectors. Since our objective within the ADGoDIC is income/distribution growth, our monthly notes focus on growth of dividends amongst Fund holdings as opposed to short-term capital returns. In particular, each month we report those Fund holdings which declared dividend increases during the prior month, as well as those holdings we expect to declare dividend increases in the next month. Recall that one of our fundamental beliefs is that, if we can select stocks which consistently increase their dividends into the future, then price appreciation must eventually follow – that is, long-term price appreciation is a consequence of consistent earnings and dividend growth. Amongst our current ADGoDIC holdings, during the month of March 2016 we received two (2) declared dividend increases averaging an announced increase of 6.8% quarter-over-quarter (“QoQ”) and 6.8% year-over-year (“YoY”), relative to those already known at the end of the prior calendar month.

1 Gibson Energy Inc. GEI 7.5 3.1 3.1 2 Qualcomm Inc. QCOM 4.2 10.4 10.4 Average 5.9 6.8 6.8

Last month we introduced a new column to the dividend increase table denoting how we feel about each company’s dividend increase relative to our expectations (which are often stated in our prior month’s commentary). In general, a single indicates that the dividend increase met our expectations; a double indicates that the dividend increase was better than, or at the upper end of, our expectations; and a triple indicates that the dividend increase was significantly better than our expectations. On the other hand, a indicates that the dividend increase was marginally less than, or at the lower end of, our expectations and a indicates that the dividend increase was less than our expectations. Gibson Energy met the lower end of our expected dividend increase range. This is moderately reassuring given Gibson’s industry weakness (midstream energy storage and transportation) and its relatively high dividend yield. Qualcomm slightly exceeded our dividend increase expectation. This is a good and reassuring signal from the largest chipmaker and a dominant intellectual-property owner within the cellular-chip market. Its 10.4% dividend increase takes Qualcomm’s indicated dividend yield to 4.2%. Overall, this is very solid for a company that holds over 25% of its entire market capitalization in net cash and cash equivalents, and trades at 11.7x 12-month forward earnings-per-share (not adjusting for cash) – thereby justifying Qualcomm’s position within the top 5 holdings of our portfolio.

There are number of expected dividend announcements this month that will be interesting. For example, we are expecting two of the most well-known “dividend aristocrats” – Johnson & Johnson and Proctor & Gamble – to announce their annual dividend increases. Both firms have increase their dividends for more than 50 consecutive years (53 and 59 years, respectively) – thus, it is very unlikely that either disappoints this year. We are expecting an increase of 5% to 7% from Johnson & Johnson and 3% to 7% from Proctor & Gamble. We are expecting a bit more from Johnson & Johnson than Proctor & Gamble, although both firms have seen slower earnings growth of late primarily due to the strong US dollar. We are also expecting a large number of non-bank financial service firms to announce dividend increases – Ameriprise Financial, Invesco, Legg Mason, Metlife and Principal Financial Group. While these announcements span several non-bank financial industries, they will be interesting as a group due to the stock price weakness financial stocks have suffered over the past year. We are finding very good value within the non-bank financial service industries, and this group of dividend announcements will provide some evidence regarding whether our optimism is warranted. Our lower yielding positions are often amongst the most interesting dividend announcements, as we generally expect much higher dividend growth from them (due to their lower yield), and we can periodically see large upside surprises to dividend growth from them. This month we expect announcements from Gilead Sciences, Lam Research and Whirlpool. While Whirlpool’s business continues to grow nicely, both Gilead Sciences and Lam Research have issues that increase the downside risk to their dividend announcements. In particular, Gilead Sciences has attracted a lot of negative press related to its very expensive hepatitis drugs – this introduces forward earning risks that may be reflected in its dividend announcement. On the other hand, Lam Research is in the process of merging with a former SciVest holding named KLA-Tencor Corp (KLAC) – this introduces short-term dividend increase risk as the company conserves financial resources for the merger. Always remember our primary message: “Growing income”, as opposed to “fixed income”, is the only means of maintaining the purchasing power of your (or your client’s) income stream over the years to come.
