Process

Investment process – overview 1st Blue: White bold font 2nd Blue: White bold font 3rd Blue: Morley bold blue font 4th: Morley bold blue font 0.75 pt outline We aim to deliver consistent excess returns Strapline, Height: 1.6cm Width: 23.16cm

Stage 1: Economic scenario analysis Economists and strategists meet weekly to discuss output of economic analysis to derive scenarios of possible economic outcomes Considering several possible scenarios provides greater consistency of returns irrespective of economic environment Synthesis of regional economic outlooks Capture uncertainties around the central case Scenarios chosen based on probability and significance for asset prices Quantified for impact on interest rates, economic growth, corporate profits etc. Central View Economic Rebound 55% Sub-Trend Growth 20% Recession 25% Source: Morley Fund Management As at 24th September 2007 Output: Scenarios with projections for growth, inflation, rates, profits

Stage 2: Forecasting returns Economic forecasts are used to generate projections for assets under each scenario Bond forecasts are derived from yield movements and duration Equity forecasts are driven by Current dividend yield Earnings growth forecasts Predicted equity reratings Currency forecasts are derived using a scorecard approach. Variables include:- Value measures (PPP) Cyclical indicators Fiscal and monetary policy Momentum and market positioning Output: A set of asset return forecasts for each scenario

Stage 3: Optimal portfolio analysis The asset return forecasts generated for the central scenario are input into the optimiser to generate the ‘best’ portfolio i.e. that combination of assets that maximises the expected return for a given level of risk The optimiser incorporates a boot strap approach. Rather than use a single time period for estimating the covariance matrix, history is divided into numerous discrete periods. This generates solutions that are robust to changing regimes This process is repeated for each scenario under consideration, giving a separate optimal portfolio for each scenario A review of the returns that would be generated by each optimal portfolio under each scenario is produced. This is in the form of a matrix of possible outcomes. Output: An optimal portfolio for each scenario

Stage 4: Portfolio selection Morley’s Asset Allocation Committee is a small team responsible for selecting the template for all Morley’s TAA clients The committee draw on their experience to consider, challenge and develop the internal research, in particular the scenarios and candidate portfolios In deciding the template, the AAC seek: To generate strong returns under the central scenario To deliver respectable returns under alternative scenarios A broad balance of return over time from beta, markets and currency Morley’s Asset Allocation Committee Chief Investment Officer (interim) Adrian Jarvis 18 years experience Asset Allocation Specialist Hassan Johaadien 12 years experience Head of Strategy and Multi Asset Funds Steve Cleal 19 years experience Output: A robust set of asset positions

Stage 5: Implementation The success of the TAA process is critically dependent on the successful implementation of the model portfolio across client mandates A team of experienced portfolio managers monitor fund positions and initiate derivatives trades where appropriate Trade execution is undertaken by a separate, experienced team with a long history of dealing significant volumes in global derivatives market In 2006, €135bn of futures were executed Morley’s market presence gives it access to timely market intelligence on trading conditions Regular contact with the largest investment banks ensures trades are executed in the most cost effective manner Daily risk reports enhance the understanding of the likely behaviour of the portfolio under a variety of different market outcomes Output: A fund designed to generate the alpha target We’ve achieved top quartile performance on a single country, regional and global basis as well as across equities and bonds. This demonstrates the value of a global operation with expertise located in local centres of excellence.
