discriminating in credit
assessment
• Good fit to UCITS
Compelling returns
Attractive absolute and risk-
adjusted returns in all market
conditions
Diversification benefits
Low correlation to long-only
equities and corporate bonds
Focus on alpha generation
Multitude of alpha sources

Investment philosophy &
process
2
15Pictet Total Return-KosmosPictet Asset Management
Our key beliefs
Principles built through
experience
Credit alpha is enhanced by considering relative value globally
Agility reaps rewards – stay liquid, nimble and never ‘bigger than the market’
Risk parameters alone do not capture overall portfolio risk
Close scrutiny of behavioural drivers is key
Downside protection matters – often the best hedge is to close a position
16Pictet Total Return-KosmosPictet Asset Management
Focus on liquidity
Long positions
• Bonds (corporates, sovereigns,
financials, covered, convertibles1)
• CDS
• Credit derivatives indices2
Short positions
• CDS
• Credit derivatives indices2
• Credit index options
Hedging instruments
• Government bond futures, interest
rate swaps & interest rate futures
– to hedge interest rates risk• Spot and forward trades – to
hedge currency risk• Interest rate options
1Trading at their bond floor.2 Credit indices: e.g. iTraxx Europe, iTraxx HiVol, iTraxx Financials, Itraxx Asia ex-Japan, CDX NA
90% minimum in investment grade. No exposure to credit below BB-/Ba3
EXCLUDED INSTRUMENTS
Structured credit, ABS, tranched credit products, loans and unrated credits
17Pictet Total Return-KosmosPictet Asset Management
Trade example cross name/sector basis
Bangkok Bank
One of the leading Thai banks
New issue of 5 and 10yr USD
bonds
Scarcity of Asian bank bonds outside Korea
and Thailand
Low supply expectations for bank sector in
Thailand
CDS trading at circa 87 bps (much tighter
than the two Bangkok Bank bonds) at the time
Possible future sovereign issuance in USD
remained
Met with president of Bangkok Bank
Above average disclosure/transparency
Threat of acquisitions remained, but confident
this would be financed prudently
Conviction score: 4
Thailand’s largest bank with approximately USD
60bn in assets
Well capitalised with acceptable loan
concentration and improving profits
TRADE IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSISMANAGEMENT QUALITY ANALYSISCREDIT FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
MACRO ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
• Uncertain political situation in Thailand: Thai geopolitical component hedged via a Sovereign CDS
• Positive view on market conditions for commercial banks
Source: Pictet Asset Management, Bloomberg
Long risk : buy Bangkok Bank bond 5 and 10yr (A3/BBB+)
Short risk : buy Kingdom of Thailand 5yr CDS (Baa1/BBB+)
18Pictet Total Return-KosmosPictet Asset Management
Trade example CDS long-short
Two UK-domiciled companies
BAE Systems
GKN Plc
Likely exclusion of GKN Plc from the Itraxx
Crossover index
Took profit as soon as exclusion of GKN Plc was
announced
No perceived difference between the two
companies
Cyclical versus non-cyclical premium not
adequate across the market
BAE well placed in the mid-BBB rating
category, low level of leverage, strong balance
sheet
GKN Plc had high leverage and tight spread for
a below investment grade credit
TRADE IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSISMANAGEMENT QUALITY ANALYSISCREDIT FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
MACRO ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS
• Overall reduction in UK and US defense spending
• Benign macro environment as both are UK-domiciled corporates (non-Financials)
Source: Pictet Asset Management, Bloomberg
Long risk : sell 5yr CDS BAE Systems (Baa2/BBB+)
Short risk : buy 5yr CDS GKN Plc (Ba1/BB+)

Insufficient single-name ideas on the long or

ex. Long/short risk: Itraxx Fin Senior, Itraxx Asia Ex-Japan
Short time horizon (1 day/1week) which
capitalise on near-term dislocations and
arbitrage opportunities
ex. Long risk. buy IPIC bonds in euro and $
Longer time horizon (3-6 months) incorporating
M&A themes, LBO risk, bond buyback activity and
other types corporate action
ex. Long risk: buy E.ON GBP bonds
