If the Index closes more than 5% below its 200 DMA, the Strategy will allocate 100% to the Fixed Income Investment. Within a range of +/- 5% (inclusive) of the 200 DMA, the Strategy will allocate 50% to the Equity Investment and 50% to the Fixed Income Investment. ASSET ALLOCATION On a monthly basis, an asset allocation decision is made based on the level of the S&P Europe 350 Index® relative to its 200 DMA.

The Series 1P – F-Class is the initial implementation of the RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities strategy. The closing secondary market price of Series 1P – F-Class on its Issue Date was €100.00. For Series 1P – F-Class, an amount equal to €97.53 per Security was notionally invested in the Portfolio on the Issue Date. The secondary market price at any particular time is the price at which a holder of RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities could dispose of such securities. The secondary market price may not be the same as, and may be substantially different from the NAV per Security. The NAV per Security between different series of RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities may differ for various reasons including as a result of different levels of Note Program Amounts, applicable early trading charges and the issue date for a particular series. The difference in NAV per Security between the Securities for different series of RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities could result in different secondary market prices for Securities of different series of RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities. The historical secondary market price for RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities which are not Series 1P – F-Class may differ from the historical secondary market price for Series 1P – F-Class Securities because the different Note Program Amounts for the different series of RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities may affect the secondary market price of such securities. A series of RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities with a Note Program Amount which is higher than the Note Program Amount for Series 1P – F-Class would likely have a lower secondary market price than the secondary market price for Series 1P – F-Class. Prior historical secondary market prices of Series 1P – F-Class are not necessarily indicative of any future secondary market price for Series 1P – F-Class or other RBC European TEAM RoC Yield Securities. There is no assurance that a secondary market for the Securities will develop or be sustained. 2The secondary market price of the Securities at any time will generally depend on, among other things, (a) how much the prices of the underlying interests have risen or fallen since the Issue Date of such Securities; and (b) a number of other interrelated factors, including, without limitation, volatility in the prices of the underlying interests, the level of interest rates in the applicable markets, dividend yields on any of the securities, if any, comprising the underlying interest, and the Maturity Date. The relationship among these factors is complex and may also be influenced by various political, economic and other factors that can affect the trading price of a Security.
