    INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

    To the Contractholders of The Great-West Life Assurance Company - Individual Investment Funds

    We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Great-West Life Assurance Company - Individual Investment Funds as listed in Note 1 to the financial statements, which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in net assets attributable to contractholders and the statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and 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 these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of Part XII of the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association Guideline G2, 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 these financial statements 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 audits 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 our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

    Opinion

    In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Great-West Life Assurance Company - Individual Investment Funds as listed in Note 1 to the financial statements, as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of Part XII of the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association Guideline G2.

  • AMERICAN GROWTH FUND 8.05A MANAGED BY: AGF INVESTMENTS INC. NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

    (in Canadian $ thousands) As at December 31, 2015

    Introduction The Fund's objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of contractholder value. Risk is inherent in the Fund's activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. The process of risk management is critical to the Fund's continuing profitability. The Fund can be exposed to liquidity risk, market risk (which includes currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk) and credit risk arising from the financial instruments it holds.

    A. Risk Management The Fund’s investment activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio presents the securities held by the Fund as at December 31, 2015, and groups the securities by asset type, geographic region and/or market segment. The following sections describe the significant risks that are relevant to the Fund. To assist with managing risk, The Great-West Life Assurance Company (the Company) maintains a governance structure that oversees the Fund's investment activities and monitors compliance with the Fund's stated investment strategy and other regulations.

    B. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk arises when a Fund encounters difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they come due. The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk due to potential daily cash redemptions of redeemable units. The Fund retains sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity to meet the obligation to fund daily cash redemptions of their redeemable units. Some securities are illiquid due to legal restrictions on their resale, the nature of the investment, or simply a lack of interested buyers for a particular security or security type. Certain securities may become less liquid due to changes in market conditions, such as interest rate changes or market volatility, which could impair the ability of a Fund to sell such securities quickly. In accordance with the Fund's policy, the Company monitors the Fund's liquidity positions on a regular basis.

    C. Currency Risk Currency risk is the risk that financial instruments which are denominated or exchanged in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, which is the Fund’s reporting currency, will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. The table below indicates the foreign currencies to which the Fund had significant exposure as at period end in Canadian dollar terms, including the underlying principal amount of forward currency contracts, if any. The table also illustrates the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets attributable to contractholders, all other variables held constant, as a result of a 1% change in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, the actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be significant.

    *includes both monetary and non-monetary instruments

    D. 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 interest rate, currency or credit risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. All securities present a risk of loss of capital. The Fund Manager moderates this risk through careful selection of securities and other financial instruments within the parameters of the investment strategy. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair value. For this Fund, the most significant exposure to other price risk arises from its investment in equity securities. As at December 31, 2015, had the prices on the respective stock exchanges for these securities raised (or lowered) by 1%, with all other variables held constant, net assets would have increased (or decreased) by approximately $1,111 or approximately 1.0% of total net assets attributable to contractholders. In practice, the actual results may differ and the difference could be significant.

    E. Fair Value Classification The following table presents information about the Fund's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Fund to determine such fair value:

    Management Expense Ratio

    (unaudited)

    The management expense ratio has been calculated as the aggregate of all fees, taxes, charges and other expenses incurred during the year divided by the average daily netasset value of the segregated fund attributable to the particular fee option. All ratios shown are on an annual basis. In circumstances where the particular fund or fee option did

    not have twelve months' exposure the ratios have been annualized.

    (in Canadian $ thousands) As at December 31, 2015

    Introduction

    The Fund's objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of contractholder value. Risk is inherent in the Fund's activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. The process of risk management is critical to the Fund's continuing profitability. The Fund can be exposed to liquidity risk, market risk (which includes currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk) and credit risk arising from the financial instruments it holds.

    A. Risk Management The Fund’s investment activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Schedule of Investment Portfolio presents the securities held by the Fund as at December 31, 2015, and groups the securities by asset type, geographic region and/or market segment. The following sections describe the significant risks that are relevant to the Fund. To assist with managing risk, The Great-West Life Assurance Company (the Company) maintains a governance structure that oversees the Fund's investment activities and monitors compliance with the Fund's stated investment strategy and other regulations.

    B. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk arises when a Fund encounters difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they come due. The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk due to potential daily cash redemptions of redeemable units. The Fund retains sufficient cash and cash equivalent positions to maintain adequate liquidity to meet the obligation to fund daily cash redemptions of their redeemable units. Some securities are illiquid due to legal restrictions on their resale, the nature of the investment, or simply a lack of interested buyers for a particular security or security type. Certain securities may become less liquid due to changes in market conditions, such as interest rate changes or market volatility, which could impair the ability of a Fund to sell such securities quickly. In accordance with the Fund's policy, the Company monitors the Fund's liquidity positions on a regular basis.

    C. Currency Risk Currency risk is the risk that financial instruments which are denominated or exchanged in a currency other than the Canadian dollar, which is the Fund’s reporting currency, will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. The table below indicates the foreign currencies to which the Fund had significant exposure as at period end in Canadian dollar terms, including the underlying principal amount of forward currency contracts, if any. The table also illustrates the potential impact to the Fund’s net assets attributable to contractholders, all other variables held constant, as a result of a 1% change in these currencies relative to the Canadian dollar. In practice, the actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the difference could be significant.

    31.4 0.3

    *includes both monetary and non-monetary instruments

    D. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk arises on interest-bearing financial instruments such as bonds. The Fund is exposed to the risk that the value of interest-bearing financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. Due to the nature of short-term fixed income securities with a remaining term-to-maturity of less than one year, these investments are not generally exposed to a significant risk that their value will fluctuate in response to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. The risk is professionally managed at the security and fund level by the Company. The table below summarizes the Fund's exposure to interest rate risks by remaining term to maturity.

    2015

    Bonds - 3,043 2,876 3,458 9,377

    Less than 1 year 1 – 5 years 5 – 10 years > 10 years Total

    Bonds - 3,333 2,888 40 6,261

    As at December 31, 2015, had prevailing interest rates raised or lowered by 1% assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve, with all other variables held constant, net assets would have decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $639 or approximately 2.5% of total net assets attributable to contractholders. The Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes was estimated using the weighted average duration of the bond portfolio. In practice, the actual results may differ and the difference could be significant.

    E. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Fund. The Fund’s greatest concentration of credit risk is in debt securities, such as bonds. The fair value of debt instruments includes consideration of the credit worthiness of the debt issuer. The carrying amount of debt instruments represents the maximum credit risk exposure as at December 31, 2015. The amount of credit risk to any one issuer may be determined from the information reported in the Schedule of Investment Portfolio. The Fund may invest in short-term fixed income securities issued or guaranteed primarily by the Government of Canada or any Canadian provincial government, obligations of Canadian chartered banks or trust companies, and commercial paper with approved credit ratings. The risk of default on these short-term fixed income securities is considered low. The Company monitors credit risk and credit ratings on a regular basis. All new counterparties to financial instruments are subject to an approval process.

    (in Canadian $ thousands) As at December 31, 2015

    E. Credit Risk (continued)

    There was no change in fair values of financial liabilities as a result of changes in credit risks. All transactions in listed securities are settled and 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. Credit ratings are obtained from the Bloomberg Composite rating unless a rating from another agency (DBRS, Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and/or Fitch Ratings) is lower, in which case the lower rating is used. Debt securities by credit rating are as follows:

    Total 100.0 37.0 100.0 22.2

    *bonds rated NR are mortgage backed securities or privately placed bonds or bonds that have not been rated by a rating agency

    F. 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 interest rate, currency or credit risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. All securities present a risk of loss of capital. The Fund Manager moderates this risk through careful selection of securities and other financial instruments within the parameters of the investment strategy. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair value. For this Fund, the most significant exposure to other price risk arises from its investment in equity securities. As at December 31, 2015, had the prices on the respective stock exchanges for these securities raised (or lowered) by 1%, with all other variables held constant, net assets would have increased (or decreased) by approximately $153 or approximately 0.6% of total net assets attributable to contractholders. In practice, the actual results may differ and the difference could be significant.

    In accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy, the Fund applies fair value adjustment factors to the quoted market prices for certain non-North American equities when North American intraday stock market movements exceed predetermined tolerances. The adjustment factors are applied in order to estimate the impact on fair values of events occurring between the close of the non-North American stock markets and the close of business for the Fund. If fair value adjustment factors are applied, non-North American equities are classified as Level 2. Consequently, during the periods, non-North American equities are frequently transferred between Level 1 (unadjusted quoted market prices) and Level 2 (adjusted market prices). As of December 31, 2015, these securities were classified as Level 2.

    Portfolio Turnover Rate

    Management Expense Ratio

    (unaudited)

    The management expense ratio has been calculated as the aggregate of all fees, taxes, charges and other expenses incurred during the year divided by the average daily netasset value of the segregated fund attributable to the particular fee option. All ratios shown are on an annual basis. In circumstances where the particular fund or fee option did

    not have twelve months' exposure the ratios have been annualized. Management expense ratios are calculated for Individual Retirement and Investment Services clients only.No management expense rat io is calculated for the Preferred Ser ies 2 guarantee pol icy opt ion as such fees are charged di rect ly to the contractholder.

    The portfolio turnover rates presented in the financial statements reflects the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association Inc. (CLHIA) Guideline G2, Individual VariableInsurance Contracts Relating to Segregated Funds 12.3(a)(iii). The portfolio turnover rates indicate how actively the portfolio investments have been bought or sold throughout

    the year. A portfol io turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and sel l ing al l of the securi t ies in i ts portfol io once in the course of the year.
