Assess suitability – Investment 6 FSA Paper – January 2011 Assessing suitability of Investments “The high number of unsuitable investment selections we see in pension and investment markets is still a significant concern” 50% Of files assessed by FSA during an 18 month period ending Sept 2010 were unsuitable on grounds of risk Capacity for loss was not considered enough 7 Understanding ‘reverse percentages’ Concept: The investment return required to recover from an investment loss increases exponentially with the scale of the loss. Definitions: rloss = the loss rate from a specified starting point (this is a -ve percentage) rrecov = the growth rate required to recover to a previous starting point rrecov / rloss = the growth factor This can be represented by the following equation: 1 –1 rrecov = (1+rloss) rloss rrecov Growth factor -5% 5.3% 1.05 -10% 11.1% 1.11 -15% 17.6% 1.18 -20% 25.0% 1.25 -25% 33.3% 1.33 -30% 42.9% 1.43 -35% 53.8% 1.54 -40% 66.7% 1.67 -45% 81.8% 1.82 -50% 100.0% 2.00 -55% 122.2% 2.22 -60% 150.0% 2.50 -65% 185.7% 2.86 -70% 233.3% 3.33 -75% 300.0% 4.00 -80% 400.0% 5.00 -85% 566.7% 6.67 -90% 900.0% 10.00 -95% 1900.0% 20.00 8 Downside risk Source: FE. 9 Relying solely on volatility as a proxy for risk Investment A Investment B Investment C Month 1 2.0% 5.0% -5.0% Month 2 4.0% 5.0% -5.0% Month 3 9.2% 5.0% -5.0% 0 0% 15.7% –14.3% Volatility (SD) Return 3.8 15.7% Source: This slide is for illustrative purposes only.

The separate periods are 36 months, 60 months and 120 months. 5 star: 4 star: 3 star: 2 star: 1 star: Forsyth-OBSR Examines fund’s investment style, process, performance and risk Funds must be ‘highly commendable’ or better top 10% next 22.5% middle 35% next 22.5% bottom 10% 34 Criteria for ratings – 2 of 2 Agency Description Criteria Citywire Fund Manager Ratings Focusses on manager’s ability, regardless of fund managed, calculating the level outperformance against the benchmark ‘Only a handful of managers receive a rating’ Lipper Leaders Funds that are awarded Lipper Leader status have excelled when compared to similar funds. Lipper’s scoring system is built on three years of historical performance and is based on two main elements: ‘preservation’, the ability of the fund to preserve capital, even during any market downturn and ‘consistent return’, the ability of a fund to provide consistently superior returns when compared to similar funds. Both measures are scored on a 1 to 5 basis (with 1 being the highest). Funds that score 1 for either measure are awarded ‘Lipper Leader’ recognition. Trustnet Alpha Manager Ratings The calculation is achieved by constructing an artificial portfolio, as if the manager’s funds had been bought and sold during the period he/she managed them. The weighting between funds is equal, but is halved if the fund is co-managed and the manager is also a sole manager on another fund. Any periods where there is no record of fund manager performance, perhaps due to gardening leave, is treated as a flat period. The rating is based on three components: Risk-adjusted alpha (with track record length bias) Consistent outperformance of a benchmark overall Out/underperformance consistency in up and down markets 35 ABI vs. IMA Jupiter High Income Fund Fund sits within IMA UK equity and bond sector Fund invests 80% in UK equity, 20% UK fixed interest 36 ABI vs. IMA Jupiter High Income Fund For Life and Pensions money, use ABI classification ABI do not have a UK equity and bond sector Fund is therefore placed in most appropriate sector – UK equity is included in this case Problems? 37 Specialism – is it your role to pick them?

You can trade on Comex – But there will be dealing costs, storage, insurance etc.. …So we trade on ETC’s market – Cost effective, but can you market time? Gold acts as an inflation hedge, currency hedge and also acts as a flight to quality asset in recessionary times US Dollar risk to consider & no yield, but only held as part of overall portfolio 58 UCITS III – Absolute Return (“sophisticated”) vs. Long Only (“non-sophisticated”) funds Funds managed with the aim of delivering absolute (i.e. more than zero) returns in any market conditions. Typically, funds in this sector would normally expect to deliver absolute (more than zero) returns on a 12 month basis. IMA Long only Long only Highly correlated to equity/fixed interest indices Outperformance rather than absolute returns Limited ability to protect the fund when market is falling Derivatives used for “efficient portfolio management” purposes only Absolute return Long and (“synthetic”) short strategies – like hedge funds Low correlation to equity returns Aim for positive returns in all market conditions Can actively manage the fund’s market exposure (long, short or neutral).

Performance Fee Fee is calculated and accrued daily in the price and is paid annually, from the fund, on 31 October each year (the last day of accounting year).

Assuming specific client requirements are considered, then Look at the majority of funds with a track record, 3 or 5 years+ on both an absolute and relative basis Perform quantitative performance and risk analysis using a tool Carry out qualitative research using tool, factsheets and independent reports Find out how the fund is rated by the major agencies, if not check if there are still reasons to choose before filtering out Make sure the fund adds to the portfolio’s diversity and does not concentrate in similar areas for correlation Monitor your funds with pre-populated quant reports and regular reading / updates, maybe semi annual or more regularly 65 Caveats Manger may have recently moved to the group/fund after strong performance elsewhere – Eg. Philip Ehrmann, Jupiter China Manager may have run offshore/ hedge or institutional mandates and has a strong record to bring to the retail market – Eg.
