May 6, 2015
•
Onshore Drilling has lower risk profiles and higher return,
hence its risk-adjusted return is much more favorable than
either Oil Field Services or Offshore Drilling.
•
Market is pricing Onshore and Offshore drilling differently,
and investors should differentiate these sector bets.
•
This differentiation wouldn’t have been visible without RBICS.

1.
Algorithm uses GDP weight to estimate EM exposure when needed
2.
3.
Taiwan is given, no estimate is needed
For China (includes Hong Kong), algorithm kicks in and allocates 14.5% to EM
4.
14.5% =15.0% X 0.966 (EM Multiplier), using GDP weight of “China ex HK” divided by “China + HK”
5.
EM Multiplier derivation is conceptually simple, but computationally complex depending on how
each company chooses to disclose its geographic revenues distribution.
