                                  PORTFOLIOS                                   

LONDON- October 5, 2015 - Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management is pleased to
announce that its award-winning range of volatility-capped portfolios have been
rebranded as GPS Optimized Portfolios, as part of the firm's Global Portfolio
Solutions (GPS) investment range.

Previously known as REMAP, the portfolios offer a unique investment solution by
providing a powerful tool for managing volatility and risk, which can
complement any wealth strategy.

The investment process underpinning GPS Optimized Portfolios provides investors
with access to global investment ideas and opportunities, including direct
equity investments. Equity selection is supported by Quest® and incorporates
expertise from Canaccord Genuity Global Strategists Robert Jukes (UK) and Tony
Dwyer (US). The proprietary Market Stress Indicator (MSI) helps to identify
periods where markets might be vulnerable to meaningful declines and endeavours
to cap risk whilst continuing to deliver to a smoother more confident path
toward achieving client investment objectives.  

This process has been recognised as a best-in-class investing discipline and
the portfolios are only available from Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management in
the UK and Canada. The successful investment strategy received the Gold
Standard Award for Discretionary Portfolio Management in 2012 and 2013, as well
as a five-star rating by independent research firm Defaqto in 2014 and 2015.

Since inception, GPS Optimized Portfolio 5 (previously known as "REMAP 5") has
outperformed the ARC GBP Balanced PCI by 8.4%. For the most recent 1 and 3 year
periods, the portfolio has outperformed the ARC GBP Balanced PCI by 3.0% and
4.4% respectively.

David Esfandi, CEO of Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management in the UK commented
"Our GPS Optimized Portfolios have been providing clients with both steadier
returns and consistent outperformance. Now with the added advantage of input
from our global investment experts and the inclusion of direct equities in the
models, we are confident that this service will continue to deliver measured
returns with limited volatility".
