3 Client Administration for Managed Accounts

On-boarding and Due Diligence Saxo Bank supports Asset Managers by streamlining the on-boarding process for end-clients:

1. The Asset Manager takes their client through the Saxo Bank account application and power of attorney forms. The docu-ments cover the following areas:

• Client Details • Client Classification (MiFID) • Account Currency • Purpose of the account • AML information • Corporate information (if applicable) • Risk disclosures • Power of Attorney • Asset Manager Fee Schedule

2. The signed documents are either emailed or faxed to Saxo Bank’s contracts department along with valid ID and proof of residency.

3. Saxo Bank performs a due diligence review of the client by validating the documentation, identification, proof of resi-dency and conducts an AML check.

4. Saxo Bank informs the Asset Manager by e-mail that the client’s account is opened. The Asset Manager informs the end-client and the appropriate Asset Manager Fee schedule is assigned.

Contributions and Withdrawals Clients may contribute money to their managed accounts at any time. For efficiency and planning purposes, withdrawals are effective by the end of each month. This gives the Asset Manager time to liquidate positions and facilitates fee calcula-tions.

Revoking of POARevoking of Power of Attorney may be done at any time, but account proceeds will only be handed back to the client once fees have been calculated and paid to the Asset Manager. This process generally takes 24 hours.


Allocation Tool to manage and execute trades easily

Risk Management Efficient risk management is attained through real time margin checks on each client account at execution.

The Asset Manager can choose to have the block trade size automatically reduced or alternatively the entire order cancelled in case of insufficient money on clients’ accounts. Furthermore, a margin pre-check functionality shows the impact on each client account before execution. This minimises risk and ensures that no trades are left unallocated.

The Allocation Tool is an automated service that enables Asset Managers to do block trading on behalf of multiple clients with one click. Trades as well as orders are instantly reflected on client accounts.

The Allocation Tool is applicable across all products and managed by the Asset Manager. Using the WebConnect tool the Asset Manager can handle the full allocation process without manual involvement from Saxo Bank.

The Trade Allocation Tool offers the following key benefits and features:

Automated Allocation via Rules Asset Managers can save pre-defined rules to make allocation fully automated. The system selects the allocation key and allocates the trade based on the defined rules.

4 Management & Trading support


Easy set-up and administration of Allocation Keys The Asset Manager handles the set-up and administration of keys in WebConnect. Multiple keys can be saved for different trading strategies or client groups.

Overview Of Allocated Trades The Allocation summary gives a quick overview of trades and a breakdown of the allocation distribution. Via the “Close” function, Asset Managers can easily close positions across multiple clients.

Position Build-up

Asset Managers can build up larger positions by aggregating several smaller trades. The trades are automatically merged into one trade by the system.

Operational ServicesAs part of our Asset Manager solution, Saxo Bank runs a number of operational services on behalf of the Asset Manager. These services are integrated into the trading applications, and end-of-day files can be extracted into the Asset Manager’s own back-office system to fulfil specific regulatory or management reporting requirements.

Saxo Bank back-office departments support the following operations:

6 BackOfficeandRiskManagement

End-Of-Day Processing Saxo Bank will handle all end-of-day processes and will, by New York close, reconcile all positions in all asset classes. After com-pletion of the reconciliation, the Asset Manager will have the possibility to receive a set of end-of-day files.

The end-of-day files are flat raw data files of all activities on all accounts under the Omnibus account structure for the previous trading day. These files are received for import into back office systems, management reporting systems or CRM systems.

As part of the end-of-day processing, Saxo Bank produces client reports that can be viewed online for both the Asset Manager and their clients.

FX Rollovers When Asset Managers are trading foreign exchange and keep-ing spot positions open overnight, Saxo Bank will automatically rollover the spot positions to the next day.

Saxo Bank uses Tom-Next rollovers based on the LIBOR/LIBID in-terest rate.

Financing Interest on CFDs When the Asset Manager holds a CFD overnight, the CFD posi-tion will be subject to a credit or debit. The credit/debit is calcu-lated on the total nominal value of the underlying stock at the time the CFD contract is bought/sold (whether long or short). The credit or debit is calculated and charged automatically by our systems.

Corporate ActionsSaxo Bank handles corporate actions on supported exchanges and these will be processed and booked on accounts automati-cally. The trading platform handles voluntary elections of Corpo-rate Actions online.

Saxo Bank’s systems send information whenever a corporate ac-tion has been booked, and perform the relevant bookings. The election of voluntary corporate actions events appears as a pop up alerting the Asset Manager that there is a new voluntary event that needs attention.

Transfer of securities free of payment Saxo Bank handles the transfer of securities from the end- client’s existing depositary to Saxo Bank free of charge.

Flexible sources of creditWith Saxo Bank you can work with your choice with prime broker.

Our prime brokerage service establishes a credit document certifying that a prime brokerage is in place and allocating an agreed-to trading line, enabling you to trade on Saxo Bank’s multi-asset platform. At the end of each day, your positions are netted out between your primary bank and Saxo Bank.

”Our operational tools save you time and money”

Saxo Bank provides Asset Managers with the entire trading infrastructure as well as back-office systems that automatically calculate the agreed fees on the end-clients’ accounts. Fees are calculated and charged on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.

On the first business day of the month, the Asset Manager will receive an overview of the fees that will be charged in respect of the previous month.

Asset Managers can select from four types of fees to apply to its clients. These fees will be directly paid from the account which the Asset Manager’s clients have with Saxo Bank to your designated account.

Management Fee The management fee is calculated as a percentage of the assets under management on a daily basis and charged monthly, quar-terly or yearly to the Asset Manager’s clients’ accounts.

Flat FeeA flat fee can be charged against an account. This is an amount specified in a specific currency that can be charged on a month-ly, quarterly or yearly basis.

Investment Advisor FeeA management fee that can be configured to booked to a finan-cial advisor that refers business to the Asset Manager

Managed Account Fee Structures

Performance FeeThe performance fee is calculated on the basis of the total trad-ing profit/loss generated during a month as well as all other bookings which impact the value of an account. Asset Managers can choose between a monthly, quarterly or yearly performance fee. The calculation is made after close of business on the last day of the chosen period.

Any performance fee payment is subject to a high water mark calculation. The high water mark is set automatically when the performance fee is calculated. The high water mark is also ad-justed based upon contributions and withdrawals.

If the Asset Manager and the client agree to reset the high wa-termark, then Saxo Bank’s back office department can set it to the agreed amount and perform any necessary adjustments to the fees.

Platform FeeA management or flat fee that can be configured and booked as a charge for using the platform.

The Asset Manager enters into a contract with Saxo Bank where all conditions are agreed upon.

SETTING UP THE INFRASTRUCTURE

Saxo Bank then sets up the trading infrastructure.

TRAINING

As a part of Saxo Bank’s on-boarding process, Saxo Bank introduces the Asset Manager to the relevant functions within the Bank’s internal systems, as well as the relevant processes for bringing the Asset Manager’s clients to the Bank.

ON-BOARDING PROCESS FOR THE ASSET MANAGER´S CLIENTS

The Asset Manager can begin on-boarding the clients who will open an account with Saxo Bank through our client due diligence process, which includes anti-money laundering procedures put in place to protect the Asset Manager and Saxo Bank.

CLIENTS BEGIN TRADING

In order for the Asset Manager to trade on client’s behalf, the clients sign a Power of Attorney agreement that authorises the Asset Manager to trade on their account. Once this agreement is signed, the Asset Manager’s clients’ accounts will be set up under the trading structure.

REPORTING

Once trading is underway, Saxo Bank generates comprehensive reports for the Asset Manager and their clients.

ON-GOING SUPPORT

After the initial set-up process, Saxo Bank continues to work with the Asset Manager and provide technical support, marketing and sales training, as well as help to identify business development opportuni-ties. Through strong and continuous cooperation Saxo Bank supports the Asset Manager in growing their business to mutual benefit.

The Trust and Security of Working with a Licensed Bank Saxo Bank A/S is a fully licensed Danish bank under the supervi-sion of Finanstilsynet (the Danish FSA).

This means you get the confidence from knowing you’re be-coming a counterparty with a reliable and established provider in an officially regulated environment.

Saxo Bank A/S is the parent company of Saxo Bank Group and it holds the majority of the activities of the Group. Saxo Bank Group is audited by KPMG.

Saxo Bank’s results are directly linked to clients’ trading activity. Saxo Bank sees clear indications that the quality of the multi-asset offering has a positive impact on client activity levels and retention rates. This is illustrated by the fact that more of Saxo Bank’s direct private clients who were trading FX, stocks, CFDs and futures in 2012 remained active traders in 2013. However, low market volatility and low interest rate levels continue to dampen the effect of these positive trends.

In December 2012, the co-founders and co-CEOs, Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen, assumed direct responsibility for the Bank’s operations on a daily basis and put focus on developing the Bank’s core competences within trading and investment.

Non-core activities have been sold during the year, and a num-ber of investments in systems and software have been written down, impacting the net profit for the year.

Staff costs and administrative expenses have decreased signifi-cantly by DKK 460 million to 2.05 billion, resulting in a decreased cost run rate. This is due to the focus on the core competences within trading and investment and the steps taken in November 2012 to reduce the Bank’s cost base.

As of 31 December 2013, the solvency ratio for Saxo Bank Group was 16.2%.

Saxo Bank’s Owner StructureThe founders maintain majority ownership of the Bank. Four-nais Holding A/S and Lars Seier Christensen Holding A/S own 29.95% of Saxo Bank each. TPG Capital own 30% and the remaining shares are mainly held by a number of current and former employees of the Bank.

Financial Summary Saxo Bank’s net profit for the year increased to DKK 162 mil-lion in 2013 from DKK 81 million in 2012 and clients’ collateral deposits increased by DKK 10.4 billion and reached DKK 50.6 billion by the end of the year, which is a new all-time high.

This is a clear sign of continued confidence in the Bank and en encouraging development in relation to future earnings, as well as a very positive development when looking at the future as clients’ collateral deposits are the basis for future trading and investment by the Bank’s clients.
