The Risk/Return Conflict Gets Worse

In our view,   The costs of structural downside protection have grown

►  High quality fixed income safe havens appear exhausted

  Diversified growth opportunities away from equities are hard to find ►  The era of “not-so-alternative” alternatives

  Private Pension Funds need liability hedging, returns and liquidity

  Public Pension Funds and E&F’s need to minimize today’s material cost for dedicated downside protection

  Private clients seek risk controlled growth strategies

Observations

In our view,   Expected returns from safe haven asset classes appear limited

►  Government and investment grade bonds

  Based on flows, public market equities are the out-of-favor asset class ►  Investors have been reducing equity allocations

  Enormous interest in alternative investments ►  Can they absorb the cash in-flow and still deliver historical results?

  Has the risk/return trade-off become mutually exclusive?

Necessity as the Mother of Invention

In our view,   Positive trends in the investment industry

►  Investors are much more open minded and oriented toward specific outcomes ►  Deeper understanding of risk factors and diversification ►  The application of Capital Market Theory (1958)

  Potential risks and limitations in asset allocation ►  Are we yet again moving towards expensive and away from cheap? ►  Style box mentality still dominates in public equity allocations

•  Inconsistent with alternative investments that have wide latitude

Potential Policy Benefits of Deploying Tangent Concepts

Some examples are:   Private pension funds: Return and liability hedging

►  Equity index fund with a duration component

  Public pension funds and E&F’s ►  Decrease policy level allocation to fixed income ►  Growth strategies own the insurance assets without sacrificing upside

  Private Clients ►  Access to low cost risk controlled growth strategies

Solving the Risk/Return Conundrum

In our view,   Dedicated policy level downside protection is very expensive

►  Comes at a real cost and can be operationally difficult

  Growth strategies must do their own internal hedging ►  Public market equities remain a key driver of long term returns

  Capital market tangent principles may be ideal for this environment

  There is no static allocation that is permanently optimal ►  Valuations and initial conditions matter ►  Dynamic allocation processes

Disclosure Statements Mellon Capital Management Corporation (“Mellon Capital”) is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Mellon Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”). The firm is defined as Mellon Capital and includes assets managed as dual officers of The Bank of New York Mellon and as dual employees of The Dreyfus Corporation. AUM, client and employee counts are as of June 30, 2013, unless noted otherwise. Mellon Capital’s AUM includes assets managed in overlay strategies ($6.4 billion) as of June 30, 2013. BNY Mellon Investment Management is one of the world’s leading investment management organizations and one of the top U.S. wealth managers, encompassing BNY Mellon’s affiliated investment management firms, wealth management services and global distribution companies. BNY Mellon is the corporate brand of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and may also be used as a generic term to reference the Corporation as a whole or its various subsidiaries generally. Any collective investment funds presented are maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon and Mellon Capital provides non-discretionary investment advisory services to certain of those collective investment funds. Any collective investment funds presented are not deposits of, and are not insured or guaranteed by, any bank, the FDIC or any other government agency. Please refer to the Schedule A for the Fund (and for each other fund such Fund invests in) for important additional information. Mellon Capital Management and its abbreviated form Mellon Capital are service marks of Mellon Capital Management Corporation. This presentation does not constitute an offer or solicitation to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it would be unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. This material (or any portion thereof) may not be copied or distributed without Mellon Capital’s prior written approval. Statements are current as of the date of the material only. Performance is expressed in U.S. dollars unless noted otherwise. Performance results for one year and less are not annualized. Many factors affect performance including changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The active risk targets and information ratio targets shown in this presentation are the long run ex-ante targets. The active risk levels and information ratios may be higher or lower at any time. There is no guarantee that the active risk targets and information ratio targets will be achieved. The following provides a simplified example of the cumulative effect of management fees on investment performance: An annual management fee of 0.80% applied over a five-year period to a $100 million portfolio with an annualized gross return of 10% would reduce the value of the portfolio from $161,051,000 to $154,783,041. The actual management fee that applies to a client’s portfolio will vary and performance fees may apply. The standard fee schedules for Mellon Capital’s strategies are shown in Part II of Mellon Capital’s Form ADV. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Past results are not indicative of future performance and are no guarantee that losses will not occur in the future. Future returns are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur. The information provided in this presentation should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell a particular security. Any specific securities identified do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients, and may be only a small percentage of the entire portfolio and may not remain in the portfolio at the time you receive this report. Top Ten Holdings are determined by the market value weighting of securities held in the portfolio as of the date shown. You should not assume that investment decisions we make in the future will be profitable or will equal the investment performance of the past.
