The Income Conundrum

Over 80% of the World’s assets will be owned

by baby boomers in the next 5 years

Record low interest rates

At historic lows since March 2009

Unlikely to change in the near term

Changing demographics

More people retiring in the UK

Likely to be retired for longer

How to fund those extra years?

Increasing care costs

Our investment philosophy and process

15

Investment philosophy

We manage our portfolios as if we were managing a private client portfolio

Focus on delivering the right investment outcome for each fund, including risk and return

(income and capital growth)

We believe in true multi-asset investing across a broad range of assets, investments, managers

and funds, to increase diversification for clients, improve the risk/return profile of portfolios

and help deliver the best outcomes for customers

We believe that a portfolio of genuine actively managed funds when researched properly will

produce superior results than their passive equivalent

The price paid is nearly always key to a successful investment outcome

Every asset can be risky in isolation and the best way of controlling risk is to diversify

Page 16: Premier Multi-Asset Retirement Income Solutions · Premier Multi-Asset Retirement Income Solutions September 2016 Client presentation ... Introduction to the Premier Multi-Asset Distribution

Outlook and summary

Page 26: Premier Multi-Asset Retirement Income Solutions · Premier Multi-Asset Retirement Income Solutions September 2016 Client presentation ... Introduction to the Premier Multi-Asset Distribution

26

Outlook

Quantitative Easing has ‘borrowed’ returns from the future, returns more subdued going ahead

Equity valuations slightly stretched, but supported by attractive yields versus government bonds

Reducing exposure to commercial property; we believe the best of the capital gains are behind us, less room for yield compression

We were early into the asset class and prefer to be early out

Funds from property sales have been deployed to:

UK large caps in Q3 2015 due to more attractive valuations and yields around 4%

Asian equities where more attractive valuations and yields on index above 3.5%

Convertible bonds provide downside protection due to the bond element, while can still participate in equity upside

Emerging market debt where yields have risen to their highest levels since 2012, deeply unloved, fundamentals are improving

Following the vote to leave the EU, we have further reduced property, reduced Asian ex-Japan and Emerging Markets to take currency profits, trimmed investment grade bonds, topped up UK equities, and raised cash

We are being paid to wait

Glossary

Alternative assets Non traditional investments which could include hedge funds and commodities for example and which are designed to help diversify a portfolio as they tend not to move in the same direction as the stockmarket. Bonds These are like loans to governments/companies in return for a fixed rate of interest. Capital growth The increase in value of your original investment. Caps Refers to a company’s market capitalisation, normally small, mid and large. Equities Another name for company shares. Fixed income/interest Another term used for corporate and government bonds. Floating rate debt These are bonds which do not have a fixed rate of interest. Gilts A bond issued by the UK government. High yield bonds/corporate bonds A bond that provides a higher income, (or yield) but is rated below investment grade bonds as it has a higher risk of default. Historic yield The Historic Yield reflects distributions declared over the past twelve months as a percentage of the mid-market unit price of the fund, as at the date shown.

IA Mixed Investment 20%-60% Shares sector Funds in this sector are required to have a range of different investments. The fund must have between 20% and 60% invested in company shares (equities). At least 30% of the fund must be in fixed income investments (for example, corporate and Government bonds) and/or “cash” investments. “Cash” can include investments such as current account cash, short-term fixed income investments and certificates of deposit. IA sectors To help with comparisons between the thousands of funds available, they are categorised into different groups, organised and reviewed by the Investment Association (IA). Investment grade bond A bond which is considered relatively safe and unlikely to default on its debt repayment obligations and has been assigned a high credit rating. Investment Association (IA) The IA is the trade association that represents the UK investment management industry. Structured products/structured investments A type of product designed to combine the upside in market performance whilst limiting falls and are usually linked to the performance of an index or other underlying asset.

General risks

General investment risks There is the potential for loss of your original investment. The degree of investment risk will depend on the fund’s risk profile. We would typically expect investments that are perceived as lower risk to offer less potential for loss but with potentially lower returns, whereas we would expect higher risk investments to generate higher returns albeit with the extra risk of potential loss. However, there are no guarantees as to how a type of asset, sector or region will perform in the future. Inflation could erode the value of returns from your investment. There is a risk that the entire market of an asset will fall, affecting the value of assets and the return on your investment. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the fund will be achieved. Past performance is not a guide to future returns. The price of shares and any income from them can go down as well as up and there is the possibility of a loss to your original investment. The levels of taxation and of relief from taxation will depend upon individual circumstances. There may be a variation in the performance between funds with similar objectives due to the different assets selected. Performance of a fund will be affected by the fund manager’s investment decisions. If you withdraw part of your investment, or take an income greater than the natural income from, or growth of, your investment, there is a risk that you could get back less than you originally invested.

Charges to capital As the objective of the fund is to treat the generation of income as either an equal or higher priority than capital growth, all or some of the fund’s charges will be taken from capital instead of income. This may result in higher levels of income payments but could result in capital erosion or constrain capital growth. Collective investment schemes This fund may be directly invested in, or have exposure to units in collective investment schemes and can also invest in other collective investment schemes, such as commodity funds, hedge funds and property funds, which could expose the fund to increased levels of risk. Counterparty Some investments are reliant on a specific entity, usually a large bank, to honour its repayment obligations; failure to do so could impact returns. Credit If the issuer of a security held within the fund is unable to make income payments or repay its debt. Currency Where investments are denominated in currencies other than sterling, changes in exchange rates may cause their value to rise or fall. Derivatives This is a financial contract whose value is related to the value of an underlying asset or index, often used with the aim to manage risk or enhance returns, and whilst their use is not necessarily expected to increase risk within a fund, they could expose the fund to higher levels of volatility from time to time.

General risks continued

Multi-Asset Funds As a multi-asset fund, this fund will have exposure to a wide range of different assets, investment types and geographic regions, which could include equities, bonds, alternative assets and property, all of which carry specific risks that could impact on returns. Operational Occasionally processes fail. This is more likely to happen with more complex products or investments in overseas markets, such as emerging market countries, which may not have the same level of safekeeping, infrastructure or controls as more developed markets. Structured investments These are investments which are usually linked to the performance of one or more underlying instruments or assets such as market prices, rates, indices, currencies and commodities and other financial instruments that may introduce significant risk that might affect returns.

Emerging markets Some overseas markets typically carry higher risk than more established and developed overseas and domestic markets. Equities As an asset class, equities can experience higher levels of fluctuation than bonds or money market securities. Fixed interest securities This type of asset, which includes bonds and gilts, is particularly affected by movements in interest rates. If interest rates rise, their price may fall, and vice versa. Inflation Fixed interest securities, such as bonds, are particularly affected by trends in interest rates and inflation. Interest rate Where the fund has exposure to fixed interest securities such as bonds, these are particularly affected by trends in interest rates and inflation. If interest rates go up, the value of capital may fall, and vice versa. Legal/Tax Arising from a change in legal/tax regulations or the application of them. Liquidity During difficult market conditions, some securities or larger holdings may become more difficult to sell quickly at a desired price. Market The risk of a fall in price of a particular asset type.

Risk of investments Past performance is not a guide to the future. The price of shares and income from them may go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invested. Movements in exchange rates may also affect the value of the investment. Please remember that these investments are typically intended as either medium or long term investments. Reference to any particular stock does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell the stock.
