MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Investment Objective and Strategies The Fund's objective is to generate a high level of taxefficient income with moderate volatility by investing primarily in a portfolio of high quality preferred shares of Canadian corporations.
The Fund attempts to achieve its objective by investing primarily in exchangeable fixed/floating rate, floating rate, perpetual or retractable preferred shares of large capitalization Canadian corporations. The portfolio manager attempts to add value by purchasing preferred shares where evaluations of the instrument do not reflect the underlying credit quality.
Risk No changes affecting the overall level of risk associated with investing in the Fund were made during the period. The risks of this Fund remain as discussed in the Fund's most recent simplified prospectus or its amendments.
Results of Operations Over the 12-month period ended December 31, 2013 (the "period"), Advisor Series shares of the Fund returned 3.92%. Please see Past Performance for information on the performance returns of the Fund's other series.
During the period, Canadian equity markets were volatile, with stocks finishing in negative territory for the first six months driven mainly by weakness in gold and base metal stocks. However, the markets recovered nicely in the third and fourth quarters to finish the year on a strong note despite the lack of contribution from gold stocks. In addition, to continued weakness in gold stocks, interest sensitive sectors such as Utilities and real estate investment trusts ("REITs") were also negatively impacted by rising bond yields.
Canadian government bond yields were roughly flat through the spring of 2013, but then rose materially into year end, pushing prices lower. The 10-year Canada bond yield increased 95 basis points to end the period with a yield of 2.75%, after starting the year at 1.80%. The surge in bond yields was initially driven by expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") would begin to reduce its quantitative easing program (a US$85 billion monthly bond buying program), resulting in a reduction in the aggressive monetary stimulus strategy that had been in place for some time. After not acting in September, as was widely expected, the Fed began tapering (i.e., monetary stimulus reduction) their quantitative easing program at their December meeting on signs of a continued recovery in the U.S. economy.
With regards to preferred shares, floating rate preferreds was the best performing sector, followed by retractables and rate resets. Straight perpetuals were the worst performing group, as expected, in a rising interest rate environment. The Fund's exposure to preferred shares and equities was positive, driven by good security selection. The Fund's overweight position in equities and underweight in preferred shares was also positive. Within preferred shares, the main contributors to positive relative performance was the Fund being underweight in non-bank straight perpetual preferred shares and overweight in floating rate and retractable preferred shares, which were the best performing segments of the market.
Within equities, good stock selection within Energy, Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors were the biggest contributors to outperformance. Within Energy, AltaGas Ltd., Keyera Corp. and Peyto Exploration &
BMO Monthly Dividend Fund Ltd.
Development Corp. added the most value, as did avoiding poorly performing Encana Corp. Within the Financials sector, being underweight to REITs and avoiding Calloway REIT and Dundee REIT were positives. In addition, Manulife Financial Corporation added value, as did Brookfield Office Properties Inc. and Intact Financial Corporation. On the negative side, good stock selection within the Industrials sector was not enough to offset the negative impact from being underweight to the sector overall.
The Fund remains overweight in banks and diversified financials, and underweight in REITs. Although concerns about rising interest rates will likely continue to weigh on the REIT segment, valuations have become much more reasonable with the average REIT trading at a 10% discount to net asset value. The portfolio manager continues to favour REITs with the expectation of providing above average growth in a rising interest rate environment.
Recent Developments The portfolio manager expects a period of moderately rising interest rates in 2014. To mitigate the risk in the portfolio, the portfolio manager continues to be underweight in straight perpetual preferred shares and overweight in retractable preferred shares and floating rate preferred shares, as well as, being underweight in preferred shares relative to common stocks. The portfolio manager believes that equities will continue to outperform preferred shares.
The decision by the Fed to begin tapering their quantitative easing program will lead to moderately rising bond yields in the U.S. and Canada, creating challenges for the preferred share market. While short-term interest rates may not rise in the near term, the portfolio manager believes the risk is for medium and long-term bond yields to move higher. In that environment, it will be difficult for preferred shares to outperform equities. The portfolio manager remains positive on the outlook for the Canadian equity market in 2014. While risks remain, the portfolio manager believes that a continued recovery in the U.S. economy, coupled with a soft landing of the Chinese economy should be supportive of Canadian economic growth and stock market returns. In addition, while risks remain in Europe and the road to recovery will be long, it appears that the worst of the financial crisis is now in the past.
A likely positive catalyst for equities is a continued outflow of funds from fixed income investments into equities, as investors grapple with rising interest rates. The portfolio manager believes that dividend paying stocks will be a beneficiary of these funds flow, despite investors' concerns about the impact of rising interest rates on valuations. 2013 demonstrated that dividend-paying stocks can continue to perform well in a rising interest rate environment.
Future Accounting Standards Canadian investment entities will be required to prepare their financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. As a result, the Fund will report its financial results for the interim period ending June 30, 2014, prepared on an IFRS basis. It will also provide comparative data on an IFRS basis, including an opening balance sheet as at January 1, 2013 (transition date).
The differences between the Fund's accounting policies under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and IFRS requirements will result in measurement and recognition differences on transition to IFRS. The net impact of these differences will be recorded in the increase/ decrease in net assets attributable to redeemable shareholders.
Significant Accounting Changes Resulting from Our Adoption of IFRS The main accounting changes listed below should not be considered a comprehensive list of impacts of adopting IFRS, but rather the most significant of certain key changes.
The framework for fair valuation is set out under IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which includes the requirements for the measurement and disclosure of fair value. If an asset or liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, the standard requires valuation to be based on a price within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value. The standard allows the use of mid-market pricing or other pricing conventions that are used by market participants as a practical means for fair value measurements within a bid-ask spread. Thus this standard will impact the net assets per share for financial statement reporting purposes compared to current standards, and may also result in the elimination of the differences between the net asset per share and net asset value per share ("NAVPS") at the financial statement reporting date.
While IFRS does not require interest income to be disclosed for debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, when interest income is disclosed, IFRS requires that the effective interest rate method of calculating accrued interest be used rather than the straight-line amortization method. The Manager is assessing the impact of this change to the Fund's financial statements. The Manager has not identified any changes that will impact NAVPS as a result of the transition to IFRS.
BMO Monthly Dividend Fund Ltd.
Where the Fund holds controlling interest in an investment, it is the Manager's expectation that the Fund will qualify as an investment entity in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, the Fund will not be required to consolidate its investments, but rather to hold the investments at fair value through profit or loss regardless of whether those investments are controlled. If the Fund fair values the investments it controls, it may be required to make additional financial statement disclosures on its controlled investments in accordance with IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities ("IFRS 12"). IFRS 12 also requires additional disclosures if the Fund is determined to qualify as an investment entity without having all of the typical characteristics of an investment entity.
The criteria contained within IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation ("IAS 32") will result in the classification of the shareholders' equity as a liability within the Fund's Statement of Net Assets, unless all conditions required for equity classification are met. The Manager is currently assessing the Fund's shareholder structure to determine classification under IAS 32.
Under IFRS, cash flows statement is one of the primary financial statements required to be presented. The Fund will therefore be presenting cash flows statement in its set of financial statements in accordance with the presentation requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
BMOII, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal, is the Manager of the Fund. From time to time, the Manager may, on behalf of the Fund, enter into transactions or arrangements with, or involving, other members of BMO Financial Group, or certain other persons or companies that are related or connected to the Manager (each a "Related Party"). The purpose of this section is to provide a brief description of any transaction involving the Fund and a Related Party.
Buying and Selling Securities Conducting Inter-Fund Trades During the Period, the Manager relied on an approval and standing instruction provided by the Fund's Independent Review Committee ("IRC") with respect to inter-fund trades (each, a "Related Party Transaction").

(1) This information is provided as at December 31 of the period shown.
(2) The management expense ratio of a particular series is calculated based on all expenses allocated to such a class, as applicable, including all taxes and interest expenses but excluding brokerage commissions and other portfolio transaction costs, divided by the average daily net asset value of that series, annualized.
(3) BMOII absorbed certain expenses or waived certain fees otherwise payable by a series. In doing so, BMOII attempts to maintain the overall MER of the Fund at a relatively consistent level. BMOII may discontinue the absorption or waiver at any time.
(3) The trading expense ratio represents the total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period.
(4) The Fund's portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund's portfolio manager manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of the year. The higher a Fund's portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in the year, and the greater the chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high turnover rate and the performance of a Fund.
PAST PERFORMANCE
The Fund's performance information assumes that all distributions made by the Fund in the periods shown were used to purchase additional units or shares of the Fund and is based on the net asset value of the Fund.
The performance information does not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or other optional charges that, if applicable, would have reduced returns or performance. Please remember, how the Fund has performed in the past does not indicate how it will perform in the future.
The returns of each series may differ from one another for a number of reasons, including if the series was not issued and outstanding for the entire reporting period and because of the different levels of fees and expenses allocated and payable by each series.
Year-by-Year Returns The following bar charts show the performance for each series of the Fund for each of the financial years shown. The charts show in percentage terms how an investment made on the first day of each financial year would have increased or decreased by the last day of the financial year.

As noted above, the table shows a comparison of the historical annual compound returns of the Fund with various broad-based securities market indices. The Fund, however, uses the blended benchmark to compare its overall relative performance. The reason for this is that the blended benchmark is a better reflection of the asset mix of the underlying mutual funds within the Fund's portfolio. Accordingly, the blended benchmark is a more accurate and useful comparison.
A commentary on the market and/or information regarding the relative performance of the Fund as compared to its benchmark can be found under the Results of Operations section of this report.
