Investment Objective and Strategies
BPI Global Opportunities II Fund is a closed-end investment trust with units listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: BOI.UN).
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a globally diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and other securities likely to benefit in the near term from structural change affecting specific companies, industries and national economies. BPI Global Opportunities II Fund aims to invest in securities around the world by drawing on the select stock and bond ideas of our global research and portfolio management teams. The Fund seeks to expand on our basic investment philosophy and best research ideas by taking advantage of a more tailored portfolio consisting of active asset allocation among stocks, bonds and cash, higher trading turnover to exploit short-term pricing anomalies, and the selective use of leverage and short selling.
The investment opportunities available to the Fund’s portfolio managers include:• Listed and over-the-counter equity securities• Fixed income instruments• Leverage• Short selling• Warrants• Options• Forward currency contracts• Private placements• Closed-end mutual funds
To achieve the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund will:– Focus on companies with a global presence and dominance in their industry;– Focus on companies in sectors that demonstrate value because of increasing margins;– Seek out companies that are trading at a discount to earnings, assets or cash flow compared
to their global peers;– Look for short-term trading opportunities in companies with impaired valuations caused
by temporary events; and– Seek strategic short sale opportunities in overvalued companies.

Environment and OutlookAfter a positive bounce in June, July was a poor month for stocks. One reason for the markets’ weakness was concern
that expectations for earnings growth had gotten ahead of reality. Global equity markets were essentially flat duringAugust. In the U.S., economic reports were more or less in line with expectations and supported the thesis that theeconomic recovery was continuing.
In the U.K., the Bank of England raised interest rates by 25 basis points in the first week of August in response toincreasing prices of oil and other commodities. And in Japan, the government’s initial estimate of second-quarter GDPgrowth was less than the market expected: 1.7% at annual rate versus a consensus expectation of 4.2%.
In September, global equities traded slightly higher in local currency terms. Unfortunately for un-hedged Canadian-based investors, the currency impact of the strong Canadian dollar more than offset the higher foreign stock prices. In the U.S., the equity markets rallied at month-end on Commerce Department news that the U.S. economy expandedat an annual pace of 3.3% in the second quarter, faster than the estimate of 2.8% released in August. Also, as expected,the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by another quarter point on September 21. Other global economic news of notecame out of Japan, when the government revised second quarter GDP growth down from 1.7% to 1.3%. Most investorshad expected that the second estimate would be revised up. Finally, the price of oil continued to be a major story inSeptember, with oil futures hitting a 21-year high of $49.90 on September 28.
Portfolio StrategyIn the fund’s portfolio, energy and basic materials stocks were some of the top performers during the quarter, as well
as selected technology and financial services holdings. Pharmaceutical and consumer staples lagged the market.We are currently long on energy and basic materials and other free-cash-flow-generating companies. In the metals and
energy sectors, demand remains robust and supply relatively limited. We are orienting the portfolio towards companiesthat generate excess cash flow, and can deploy it to grow their businesses, or pay out larger dividends to investors.
We continue to short certain grocers, appliance makers and technology companies. One of our favourite investmentthemes is a short position in Maytag. One of its competitors, Electrolux, missed net income figures because of higher raw material prices (such as steel). Another smaller competitor, Merloni, cut its earnings forecast on the last day of themonth, blaming raw materials prices. Declining margins aren’t the only headwinds these companies face. Asiancompetitors continue to gain market share and floor space at retail distributors.

Notes to Financial Statements For the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Formation of Fund
The BPI Global Opportunities II Fund (the “Fund”) is a closed-end
investment trust established under the laws of Ontario pursuant to an
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated as of December 16,
1996, and is governed by an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
dated as of November 5, 1998, as further amended on June 30, 1999.
The Fund commenced active operations on February 28, 1997.
The Fund will terminate on June 30, 2007 and all net assets will be
distributed to unitholders on that date.
On May 20, 1999, the Fund received regulatory approval to implement
a quarterly redemption right beginning with the quarter ending
September 30, 1999, whereby unitholders may elect to redeem their
units at the then current net asset value, less a declining deferred
redemption charge.
CI Mutual Funds Inc. is the Manager and Trustee of the Fund.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies used in preparing the semi-annual finan-
cial statements are consistent with those used in preparing the annual
financial statements. The semi-annual financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the fund’s most recent annual financial statements.
These financial statements reflect the net assets, investment portfolio,
operations and changes in net assets of the fund as of and up to the
close of business on the last valuation date of the relevant periods
(June 30, 2004 and 2003 and December 31, 2003).
a) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”)
issued Section 1100, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“GAAP”)” of the CICA Handbook - Accounting, which
establishes standards for financial reporting. Section 1100 applies
to all entities, with the exception of rate-regulated operations, for
fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2003.
As a result, certain disclosures previously considered GAAP
by virtue of general use in the investment funds industry, are
currently being reviewed by CICA. This section primarily impacts
the disclosure of an investment fund’s financial statements, and
accordingly, has no impact on the valuation of a fund or in the
calculation of the net asset value per unit of a fund.
The fund, in conjunction with other investment funds, continue
to assess the impact of Section 1100 on their financial statements.
b) Valuation of investments
Investments in shares, bonds, debentures and warrants are
recorded at their quoted market value with the difference between
this amount and average cost being recorded as unrealized appre-
ciation or depreciation in value of investments. Short-term notes
are recorded at amortized cost which approximatesmarket value.
Market value of investments which are listed or dealt in upon a
securities exchange are determined at the closing sales price
recorded by the securities exchange on which such security is
principally traded. The value of any investment which is not listed
or dealt in upon any exchange is determined on the basis of such
prices or yield equivalent quotations as the Manager determines
best reflects its fair value.
Proceeds from securities sold short are reported as liabilities in
the Statements of Net Assets and marked to market. Gains or
losses arising from securities sold short which are held as hedges
for capital investments are recorded as unrealized gains (losses)
on investments until the short positions are closed out, at which
time the gains (losses) are realized. Gains or losses arising from
securities sold short not held as hedges for capital investments
are recorded as income (loss) daily.
Certain investments recognized in the financial statements are
subject to measurement uncertainty. The recognized amounts
of such items are based on the Manager’s best information and
judgement. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

c) Investment transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the day following the
trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and
unrealized appreciation or depreciation in value of investments
are calculated on an average cost basis.
Realized gains and losses on securities sold short and unrealized
gains/losses on securities sold short are calculated with reference
to the average proceeds of the related securities.
d) Income recognition
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is accrued on a daily basis.
e) Foreign exchange
Foreign currency amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars on
the following basis:
i) Market value of investments and other assets and liabilities
at the closing rate of exchange prevailing at the period-end;
ii) Purchases and sale of investments, income and expenses at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective settlement
dates of such transactions; and
iii) The value of forward foreign exchange contracts entered into
by the Fund is recorded as the difference between the value
of the contract on the valuation date and the value on the
date the contract originated. When contracts close or expire,
a gain or loss is recognized. Realized gains and losses on
foreign exchange transactions are included in “Realized
gains (losses) on sale of investments”. Foreign exchange
gains and losses on the sale of investments are included
in “Realized gains (losses) on sale of investments” and
unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included
in “Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of
investments and foreign currencies”.
f) Futures, Forward and Option Contracts
Futures, forward and option contracts are valued on each business
day according to the gain or loss that would be realized if the con-
tracts were closed out, unless daily limits are in effect in which
case they are valued based on the current market value of the
underlying interest. Any payments made to satisfy initial and
variation margin are reflected as a receivable balance in daily
variation margin on the Statement of Net Assets. Margin
consisting of assets other than cash is noted in the Statement of
Investment Portfolio. Gains or losses arising from futures, forward
and option contracts which are held as hedges for capital
investments are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) on
investments until the contracts are closed or expire. Gains or
losses arising from futures, forward and option contracts not held
as hedges for capital investments are recorded as income (loss)
on a daily basis.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Management and Performance Fees
For providing its services pursuant to the management agreement,
the Manager is entitled to receive an annual management fee. The
fee is calculated based on the daily net asset value of the Fund and
paid to the Manager monthly. In addition, the Manager is entitled
to an annual performance fee equal to 20% of the amount by
which the percentage increase in net asset value per unit exceeds a
threshold annualized increase of 10% (the “Performance Fee”).
![Page 14: BPI Global Opportunities II Fundci.com/web/pdf/688/688_q3_04_e.pdf · 2004-11-22 · · 3 · Financial Highlights For the periods ended September 30 BPI Global Opportunities II Fund](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050405/5f82fcb1d1c83e25255baad1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Notes to Financial Statements For the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (Unaudited)
The Performance Fee will be calculated daily for the purpose of
determining the net asset value of the Fund and payable on the last
day of each fiscal year of the Fund based on the cumulative increase
in the net asset value per unit after taking into account the effect of
the annual management fee but excluding any distributions to
Unitholders in the calendar year. For the purpose of calculating the
Performance Fee, to the extent that the change in net asset value per
unit in any given year does not exceed the threshold, then the amount
by which such change falls below the threshold will be carried forward
and deducted from the amount of any change in the net asset value
on which the Performance Fee is calculated in subsequent years.
In addition to the management fee and performance fee payable to
the Manager, the Fund is responsible for the payment of all fees and
expenses relating to its operation and the carrying on of its business,
including, but not limited to, the costs and expenses associated with
convening and conducting meetings of unitholders, legal, audit,
accounting, custodial and safekeeping fees, brokerage fees and charges,
taxes (if any), interest, operating and administrative costs (other than
advertising and promotional expenses, which are paid by the
Manager), transfer agency costs which include costs relating to the
issue and maintenance of units and costs of financial and other
reports required to comply with laws regulating the duties of
“reporting issuers” under applicable securities laws. If the Manager
provides any of these services, it shall be entitled to fees for such
services not exceeding fees charged by arm’s length third parties for
the provision of similar services.
4. Income Taxes
The Fund is a mutual fund trust as defined in the Income Tax Act
(Canada), and thus the Fund is not subject to income tax on
such part of its net income, including net realized capital gains, that is
paid or payable to the unitholders. However, such part of the Fund’s net
income and capital gains not so paid or payable is taxable to the Fund.
It is the intention of the Manager to distribute to unitholders all of the
net income and sufficient net realized capital gains so that the Fund
will not have any liability for income tax. Occasionally, the Fund will
distribute more than it earns. This excess distribution is a return of cap-
ital and is not taxable to unitholders. Derivative investments are recorded
in the same manner for tax purposes as for accounting purposes.
The Fund has the following tax losses carried forward as at December
31, 2003. Net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to
reduce future net realized capital gains.
(in 000’s)
Net capital loss $ 25,109
5. Distributions
Distributions from the Fund are automatically reinvested in additional
units of the Fund without a sales charge pursuant to a distribution rein-
vestment plan (the “Plan”). A unitholder may withdraw from the Plan
and elect to receive cash distributions by providing written notice to
the plan agent, CIBC Mellon Trust Company. A copy of the Fund’s
prospectus dated February 6, 1997 which describes the Plan in detail
will be provided, without charge, by writing to:
