AGENDA Investment SolutionsiFunds’ Investment ProcessExchange Traded Funds (ETFs)Current PortfoliosSummary

To obtain the best return from the assets commensurate with the level of risk the customer is prepared to accept OBJECTIVE

VIX (implied volatility) Index. Vertical axis is the 30 day volatility implied by the pricing of S&P 500 index options RISK IS NOT STATIC

FTSE Japan 40 FTSE 100 S&P 500 FTSE Eurotop 100 RISK IS NOT SPECIFIC TO GEOGRAPHY

UK Government Gilts Down 18% in 1994 Rated Corporate Bonds Down 35% From Jan 06 RISK IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ASSET CLASS

Fixing asset allocation will from time to time lead to an allocation to assets underperforming the required rate of return Exposure through individual shares may be too risky for majority of clients Exposure through actively managed funds is expensive relative to other vehicles that are now available and it doesn’t guarantee superior results Risk is traditionally adjusted by increasing the fixed interest content or other perceived low risk assets Cash is an asset class in its own right OBSERVATIONS

Reduce risk through asset diversification Reduce risk through continuous analysis of relative asset volatility Use low cost indexed vehicles for stock selection Aim to deliver an absolute return commensurate with each client’s individual risk profile, while recognising this approach may under perform recognised commercial benchmarks iFUNDS APPROACH

Which asset classes represent the best value? Allocation to each asset class calculated based on risk Use index tracking ETFs to manage the portfolio THE INVESTMENT PROCESS

Look at 41 different asset classes Rank the asset classes based on performance and volatility Invest in the top eight ranked classes (plus a two asset class buffer zone) BEST VALUE ASSET CLASS?

EQUITIESCOMMODITIESREAL ESTATE CORPORATE BONDS UK FIXED GILTS INDEX LINKED GILTS CASH AND SHORT GILTS UK US Europe Asia Pacific Latin America Energy Grains Industrial Metals Livestock Precious Metals Softs All Commodities Asia Europe America UK >15 yrs Cash UK Gilts 1-5 yrs Large Cap Mid Cap Small Cap Long Short Long Short----- Currency (USD, GBP, Euro) THE ASSET CLASSES CONSIDERED

Consider everything in sterling return terms Adjust prices to reflect recent volatility Compare each asset class with every other asset class Produce a “league table” of relative positions Table shows which asset class provides best return for a unit of risk Calculations run on a daily basis Material changes in position tend to take place over weeks/months RANKING THE ASSET CLASSES

Identify how much risk a client wishes to take Calculate current risk for each asset class Allocate so that expected impact of any one asset on overall performance is equal Hold any balance in cash and/or short term gilts RISK BASED ASSET ALLOCATION

Size of each investment in the portfolio is dependent on its recent historical risk profile, combined with the portfolio type selected i.e. the higher the portfolio risk, the greater the exposure to the riskier assets available Risk Tolerance is the expected immediate loss (or gain) on the overall fund as a result of the price of one individual holding changing by one standard deviation Example £1,000,000 ‘Yellow’ portfolio. Risk tolerance = 0.5%. (ie expected immediate loss or gain = £5000 (0.5% x £1m)) Volatility*Position Size 20%£5000 / 0.2 = £25,000 15%£5000 / 0.15 = £33,333 10%£5000 / 0.1 = £50,000 *200 day moving average standard deviation RISK BASED ASSET ALLOCATION

A multi- asset class investment process tailored to each customer’s individual risk profile Use of collective index trackers to reduce stock specific risk A focus on absolute real returns above RPI Targeted portfolio risk profiles SUMMARY

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM IFUNDS APPROACH? Clients with a specific risk/return objective in mind Clients who are not concerned with performance relative to a commercial benchmark (e.g. FTSE 100), as long as their personal long term risk/reward objective is achieved SUMMARY
