What’s a protected investment? An investment where your capital is protected from falls in the price of any asset – fully or partially Generically called ‘structured products’ as they don’t have to offer any protection at all. Alters the risk and return payoff of a traditional fund. Created using ‘derivatives markets’ e.g. Options Scope in the wholesale or professional investor market 1.Lower or raise portfolio risk – predominantly lower 2.Achieve risk/return payoffs not possible with traditional funds 3.Used to gain exposure to assets not normally invested in as risk can be controlled

What do investors get? A fixed formula of returns Linked to a sharemarket index, individual stocks, commodities or bonds You receive a fixed % of the growth in the index e.g. 70%, 80%, 100% or 150%+ ‘participation rate’ No dividends on growth Can have income products, fixed income Term – generally 3-10 years A fixed formula of risks a)Fully protected at maturity b)Partially protected with ‘hard protection’ c)Partially protected; ‘soft protection’ using ‘knock in options’ d)No protection; lose 1:1 on the market e)Geared downside risk; lose >1:1

The Nuts & Bolts $60 put in zero coupon bond for fixed term Interest accumulates back to $100 $40 buys an options contract on the index. ATM call option $100 investment – how we create capital protection + growth ‘Options contract’ – the right to buy the index in 8 years time, but at TODAY’S level. No obligation to buy. Example: MSCI index trading at 922 today 1.8 years - index trading at 700 = 25% loss. So we do nothing. 2.8 years - index trading at 1660 = 80% profit x participation rate x $100 Provides capital protection at maturity Gives a % of sharemarket growth on our full $100 investment

What changes product pricing? It’s not wizardry! 1. Interest rates rising and falling Rising rates, less in zero, more money to buy options gives more participation 2. Volatility Like insurance e.g.25 yr old driving Ferrari or a 55 yr old in a Ford Increased vol = more expensive options = less growth in index 3.Differential between NZD and USD interest rates wider the better for hedging back into kiwi. Gives a pick up 4.Length of term – longer term more participation 5.Any averaging of index levels – gives higher participation 6.Level of fees – should be no annual management fees 7. Credit risk – products structured into an Equity Linked Note eg Morgan Stanley A+ (S&P)

Product scope enormous Return structures Uncapped call: % participation in upside Cliquets: +/- quarterly returns Digital: fixed return based on asset not falling Lock-ins: lock-in % of profits on the way up Callable structures: close early Geared call spread: accelerated upside with cap Reverse convertible: fixed or variable income Protection structures Hard Protection Soft protection – created using knock-in options CPPI – Constant proportion portfolio protection, imitates options No protection – e.g. recent product 132% Eurostoxx Geared downside - increased risk, for increased returns MSCIXINHUA FTSEEUROSTOXX KOSPI TOPIX SINGLE STOCKS GLOBAL TITANS GOLDPROPERTY COMMODITIESSECTORS NASDAQ BIO TECHS

Case study of an innovative product SUPERgrow 150 First accelerated growth structure in NZ 150% x growth in MSCI Index 100% growth cap (9% compound return) 40% protection from market falls 1% annual return each year Fixed term of 8 years Morgan Stanley equity-linked note Cap at double your money + Protection from market falls up to 40% x MSCI

How does geared growth work? Time0% +100%Maximum Gain Minimum Return+8% Year 1Year 8 61 x 1.5 = 92% Plus 8% income Total return = 92+8=100% +69% Example : Index rises 69% Client gets geared growth above 8% Soft protection -40% -20%

Why invest in accelerated growth vehicles? Two main reasons: 1.Recovery – accelerated returns, speeds up the recovery of losses from the bear market 2. A hedge against low to medium growth - a mediorce return will become a superior return Type of institution / investor who invests: One which doesn’t believe in a raging bull market Or, does believe in the raging bull, but can’t afford to ignore the range of possible outcomes Prudent to insulate portfolio with investments that: Outperform when low or average levels of growth Stay stable in adverse conditions

Who needs protection over the long-term? UBS RESEARCH Alexander Ineichen – ‘Fireflies before the storm’ Report forsees a change in the industry from managing assets to managing risk. Absolute return funds are the fireflies Argument superiority of asymmetric returns over symmetric Symmetric = long only tracking fund Asymmetric = not available in ‘nature’, artifically managed to meet investors risk preferences. E.g. structured products or hedge funds Investors are loss adverse: volatility on the downside is not the same as volatility on the upside!

Who needs protection over the long-term? UBS RESEARCH Alexander Ineichen – ‘Fireflies before the storm’ Figures 1994 to June 2003 Quote: “It probably is pretty safe to assume that those private investors who have been in guaranteed structures during the bull as well as the bear market that followed, are likely to never do anything else again” FIREFLIES BEFORE THE STORM JUNE 2003 S&P 500Capital guarantee Hedge fund of funds Annual returns 8.6%8.4%7.3% Risk (volatility) 16.3%5.9%6.3%

Who needs protection over the long-term? Zve Bodie & Dwight Crane: Harvard Business School Pension Savings 1.Employee starts saving at age 25, retiring at 65 2.Benchmark investment is inflation adjusted US Treasuries 3.Approx 12% of wages invested each year 6 investment alternatives looked at: US Treasuries S&P 500 index full investment 60/40 equities / bonds Age adjusted with equities declining nearer retirement 1 year capital protected investment rolling over 5 year capital protected investment rolling over 100,000 scenarios of stock prices and inflation rates used to study each strategy

Re-thinking portfolio construction Quote “Although structured plans have been around for many years, in one form or another, they have only recently become recognised as a specific asset class in their own right”. Michael Aaron – Technical Director of a UK IFA CashLow riskCapital secure structures Bonds Spectrum Structured investments Pooled equity funds Medium risk Capital at risk structures International equities / hedge funds Direct shareholdings Alternative investments High risk

Research and product comparisons Tips – what to look for in growth products 10 Tips Capital Security? Participation rate? Growth cap? Index ? Term ? Averaging ? Index Measure ? Charges ? Tax Efficiency ? Wrapper ?

Benefits for wholesale investors Slice and dice risk & return Superior long-term risk adjusted returns Ability to reduce risk or alter the risk/return equation Ability to invest higher than prescribed %’s in equities Ability to get exposure to assets or markets not normally selected, because the risks were too high More flexibility with remaining investments. Core satellite approach Diversification – hybrid, elements of shares and bonds A passive investment – requires little monitoring Low costs – no annual fees No currency risk (if you choose)
