MARKET-CAP BENCHMARKS CAN ONLY BE BACKWARD LOOKING IN THEIR APPROACH TO ISSUER ALLOCATION.

Page 12: Lombard odier

Lombard Odier Investment Managers. September 2011.Please see important information at the end of the document.

Objective– Construct bond indices that offer better risk-adjusted returnsMethodology– Determine a set of fundamental indicators that potentially assesses the debt quality of an issuer– Determine a weight for each fundamental indicator– Fundamental benchmark weights are rebalanced once a year Back-testing– Demonstrates stronger risk-adjusted returns for a fundamental approach with lower tail riskSolutions– Indices are available across the product ranges– Can use forward looking assumptions e.g. economist’s forecasts– Can fit investors specific objectives e.g. SRI

LOIM aims to align indices with investors’ objectives

Please see important information at the end of the document. 12

A FUNDAMENTAL WEIGHT DRIVEN APPROACH PROVIDES INVESTORS WITH BENCHMARKS BETTER ALIGNED TO THEIR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES.

Lombard Odier Investment Managers. September 2011.Please see important information at the end of the document.

Fundamental Factors

Key differences with benchmarked funds Excluded from our universe

We would reduce our allocation to countries issuing new debt, whereas benchmarked funds automatically increase their allocationProxy access to restricted countries through a combination of high quality debt and straight currency exposure (e.g. China)

Local currency corporate issuesCountries with insufficient liquidity to meet the requirements of daily liquidityCountries with large tail risks

Please see important information at the end of the document. 13

Fundamental Beta: A fundamental approach to country allocation

Criteria Weight Metric Relationship to weight in the base portfolio

Size 50 % GDP (PPP Weighted) Larger GDP countries receive a higher relative allocation

Govt. Debt 20% Debt/GDP When the government debt of a country increases, its allocation is adjusted downwards

Private Debt 10% Credit/GDP When the private debt of a country increases, its allocation is adjusted downwards

External balance 10% Current account balance/GDP When a country increases its current account, its weight allocation is adjusted upwards

Fiscal balance 10% Budget balance /GDP When a country increases its fiscal balance, its weight allocation is adjusted upwards

OUR FUNDAMENTAL BETA CAPTURES THE STRENGTH OF COUNTRIES’ FUNDAMENTALS, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE OF OTHER BENCHMARKS.

European debt crisis has not ended yet and is going to create more stress in the market before ECB might be forced to step in.– Emerging Europe is the first to react to further developments.Despite increased worries over growth at the beginning of the year, there are some positives signs emerging now.– US data continues to come stronger.– EM Asia is still in a good shape, growing at a slower but healthy pace.– If needed, EM policymakers have tools and ability to stimulate the economy (monetary easing: Brazil, India and fiscal

easing: Emerging Asia).– Inflation is not the major worry now but we keep an eye for commodities prices.After September sell-off positioning in EM is lighter.– No meaningful outflows from EM Fixed Income at time of distress and new money starts coming in when market stabilizes– Dedicated fund managers accumulated sufficient cash buffers and Hedge Funds remain light in risk.

Long EURHUF– Hungarian public debt to GDP is the highest among its peers at around 75% of GDP - fiscal policy must remain tight leaving

no room for fiscal stimulus– Overall indebtedness of the economy is high, with big external debt (over 130% of GDP) and high proportion of debt

denominated in foreign currency – dependence on capital flows and vulnerability to FX weakness– The Government is not willing to co-operate with IMF to secure the next financing package and continues it’s own

unorthodox policies – investors’ sentiment undermined

Short USDMXN– Currency remains fundamentally cheap (REER) compared to peers– Strong fiscal position and financial system– Poised to profit from US recovery (strong trade links)– Good replacement for decreased market beta due to long EURHUF trade
