Scotiabank Money Market Fund FUND DESCRIPTION

MARKET COMMENTARY

This Fund is designed to provide safety of capital and liquidity. It invests in high-quality, short-term securities and obligations issued by governments, corporations, banks and trust companies. These securities are not subject to withholding taxes.

The Scotiabank Money Market Fund returned 0.02% for the 2nd quarter of 2010 relative to a return of 0.04% for its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 0-3 Month US T-bill Index. The Fund’s yield increased to 0.12% as at June 30, 2010. The Fund increased its exposure to floating rate notes in the 2nd quarter. Floating rate notes offered a higher yield than comparable commercial paper and increased in value based on the forecast for higher interest rates later in 2010. The Fund also increased its holdings of banker acceptance notes and decreased its exposure to government guaranteed bonds to benefit from an increase in yields. The average term of the portfolio remained at about 50 days. Most market participants expect the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada to hold rates steady for most of this year and have them remaining at or near their current level. Both the US and Canadian Central Banks have maintained their low interest rate policies as Q1 economic growth was weaker than expected and inflation remained within its targeted range.

Investment objective: The objective of this Fund is to earn interest income and provide liquidity, with a high level of safety. Inception date: November 1999.

FUND ADVISOR Scotia Asset Management is manager for mutual fund trust, private client, fee based and institutional mandates with assets that exceed $39 billion.

Scotiabank US Dollar Bond Fund FUND DESCRIPTION

MARKET COMMENTARY

This Fund is designed as a mid-term, broad market investment grade US Dollar denominated bond fund. It invests primarily in US Dollar denominated securities and obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign governments and/or agencies, and corporations.

The Scotiabank US Dollar Bond Fund returned 4.00% over the past 3 months and 8.56% over the past 12 months relative to a return of 3.83% and 9.84%, respectively, for its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch US Corporate & Government Master Total Return Index.

Investment objective: The objective of this Fund is to earn income and provide some potential for capital gains. Inception date: January 1993.

FUND ADVISOR Scotia Asset Management is manager for mutual fund trust, private client, fee based and institutional mandates with assets that exceed $39 billion.

SALES CHARGES A front-end load may apply.

The Fund was primarily invested in high quality fixed income securities in the 2nd quarter. This positioning contributed positively to performance as corporate and government bonds with a lower credit quality decreased in value. These lower rated bonds dropped in value due to the concern that a slowdown in global economic growth would result in an increase in default rates. Most market participants expect the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada to hold rates steady for most of this year and have them remaining at or near their current level. Both the US and Canadian Central Banks have maintained their low interest rate policies as Q1 economic growth was weaker than expected and inflation remained within its targeted range.

Scotiabank Global Growth Fund FUND DESCRIPTION

MARKET COMMENTARY

This Fund invests in high-quality global securities, providing investors with an opportunity to achieve long-term capital growth. Investments may include equities, preferred stocks and derivatives.

The Scotiabank Global Growth Fund returned -14.41% over the past 3 months and 5.52% over the past 12 months relative to a return of -13.26% and 8.02%, respectively, for its benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index. The Fund lagged its benchmark primarily due to negative security selection. Key detractors from fund performance included securities from the Consumer Discretionary sector such as Nokia, Royal Caribbean Cruises and Esprit. Key contributors to fund performance included securities from the Consumer Staples sector, including Altria and Carlsberg. All sectors declined during the quarter. The Fund benefitted from an overweight position in the conservative Telecommunications sector. Volatility returned to global financial markets in the 2nd quarter as investors grew increasingly concerned about unsustainable levels of government debt in Greece and other European countries. As volatility rose, stocks fell in both developed and emerging markets and bonds with a lower credit quality dropped in value. Economic growth in the US was nearly 3% in the first quarter due to increased exports but it is expected to slow in the upcoming months. First quarter GDP growth was 1.2% in Japan, 0.2% in Europe and 11.9% in China. Chinese economic growth has returned to pre-recessionary levels.

Inception date: August 1994.

Scotiabank Canadian Growth Fund FUND DESCRIPTION

MARKET COMMENTARY

This Fund invests in growth-oriented, high-quality equity securities listed on Canadian stock exchanges. Some highquality Canadian Dollar denominated corporate paper may also be purchased. Investment objective: The objective of this Fund is long-term capital growth. Inception date: August 1994.

A front-end load may apply.

The Scotiabank Canadian Growth Fund returned -11.93% over the past 3 months and 12.36% over the past 12 months relative to a return of -9.52% and 22.71%, respectively, for its benchmark, the S&P/TSX Composite TR Index. The Fund underperformed the benchmark for the 2nd quarter primarily due to negative security and sector selection in the financial and energy sectors. The Fund had a strong preference for banks over life insurance companies given their earnings forecasts. Holdings in the energy sector detracted from performance as the price of oil dropped. The Fund’s sector exposure continued to focus on oil related companies given that the outlook for the price of oil remained positive. The Canadian equity market slowed in the 2nd quarter, after recording 5 consecutive quarters of outperformance, but it continued to outperform other world equity markets. Real GDP increased 1.5% in the first quarter of 2010 to mark the seventh consecutive monthly gain. The Bank of Canada’s key interest rate target increased to 0.50% in June from 0.25%. Core inflation increased to 2% in the 2nd quarter and remained within the targeted range.

Portfolio Commentary The Preservation of Capital Portfolio showed continued stabilization into the second quarter of 2010.

Portfolio Commentary The Conservative Income Portfolio maintained a positive result for the second quarter of 2010. Its largest weighting, the US Dollar Bond Fund performed well as concerns in European equity markets benefitted US fixed income markets. A higher trending yield on the Scotiabank Money Market Fund over May and June also provided additional support.

Portfolio Commentary The Income & Conservative Growth Portfolio was in negative territory for the second quarter. Global growth momentum in the first quarter has been hampered by increasing volatility from European solvency issues during the second quarter of 2010. The large 55% weighting in the US Dollar Bond Fund provided much needed stability to the overall portfolio and helped stabilize the portfolio against the negative impact that global equity markets are currently enduring Asset Management Service

Portfolio Commentary The Balanced Income & Growth Portfolio performed negatively over the second quarter. All three underlying equity funds were affected by the growing economic concerns in Europe. The month of May was particularly volatile as fears of the contagion spread. The positive contribution of the 40% US Dollar Bond Fund weighting provided some much needed relief to the challenges that global equity markets faced throughout the second quarter.

Portfolio Commentary Equity markets in the second quarter were more volatile than the first as European economic bailouts weighed heavily on global stock markets. The underlying equity funds of the Moderate Growth Portfolio were faced with these mounting economic concerns directly and indirectly throughout the quarter affecting performance negatively. This portfolio is well positioned as European governments work prudently towards managing their economic issues.

Portfolio Commentary Weak equity market performance fuelled globally from increasing economic pressures out of Europe has been the principal catalyst for the weak performance of the Aggressive Growth Portfolio in the second quarter. The concerns over Europe were felt most significantly in the underlying Global Growth Fund. Other underlying equity funds were also affected negatively out of fears of contagion. As continued economic measures take hold in Europe, global equity markets and this portfolio should stabilize.
